Kids Get to Ask the Questions on New Podcast

The Takeaway | Mar 9, 2016

Southern California Public Radio reporter Sanden Totten has some new, much younger co-hosts.

"Brains On!" is a new podcast for kids. Totten, the co-creator of the project, says the podcast features kids who ask and answer the burning questions that they have about the world around them.

It's a throw back to an older, oral-style of storytelling at a time when most kids are hooked on screens at a young age. Totten says that the kids in his audience are much more patient and focused than their adult counterparts.
