Ologies (podcast)
Smologies, the kid-friendly edition
The one for older kids who have outgrown cartoon voices. Smologies takes episodes of Alie Ward's science interview show Ologies and cuts them into shorter, swear-free versions, so you get the real expert conversations, on everything from sewer rats to native plants to the science of fear, without reaching for the skip button.
Because these are genuine interviews with specialists, the questions are smart, sometimes silly, and the answers go deeper than most kids' shows dare. It suits ten to twelve best, and it is the rare pick here that the adults would choose on their own. Each episode covers one field, so let the back seat choose the topic.
