Wild Interest is a podcast produced
by kids for curious minds of all ages
Created and hosted entirely by kids, each episode is unique. The topics change each month: Our hosts and contributors let their curiosity guide them. What’s a leap year? How do refrigerators work? What’s it like to play in the NFL? Where did the wild parrots in Brooklyn’s Greenwood Cemetery come from? What’s up with Bigfoot? Experts are interviewed, primary sources are checked, cross-checked, and fact-checked, original music is composed, sounds are captured, and an episode is born.
Wild Interest celebrates the wisdom, curiosity, and insight of children and provides a platform for kids to learn, share, and create together. While adults assist with the technical details, the show is entirely kid-created.
Wild Interest is rooted in the essential human tradition of storytelling. Segments like Grandparent Interviews invite listeners to share in intimate conversations between grandparents and their grandchildren. In My Favorite Sound, kids introduce and share field recordings of sounds that they love. Each episode provides a unique space for kids to explore and share in a format that cultivates comfort, safety, and connection. Wild Interest is interested in what connects us as humans and explores the wonder that unfolds when we follow kids’ curiosity.
