Awesome podcast for kids

A very interesting & fun podcast for kids to learn everything about money throughout the podcasts. I stop it periodically to ask comprehension questions & clarify things if they don’t understand. Maybe ad a PDF worksheet reviewing?

Keep making new episodes (KMNE)

Oh my gosh this is the best money podcast ever! When I first listened to this podcast I knew NOTHING about money but now I know EVERYTHING! Don’t get me wrong, I still like other podcasts like Forever Ago and Brains On, but I love your podcast a lot too. KMNE! (Look above for definition.)
