? Got a curious kid that’s always asking questions about the world you may not know the answer to? This podcast is for you. MeatEater Kids, hosted by Spencer Neuharth, makes learning about wildlife, nature, and conservation super fun, providing a mix of cool facts, games, and interactive challenges for your little ones.

Each episode is packed with different segments that keep things fresh. Steven Rinella leads the Why It’s the Way It Is segment by breaking down the science and history behind the natural world.

One of the latest episodes dives into the world of rodents, clears up big misconceptions about the species. Listeners also get a cool rundown of some of the most famous rodents out there, from beavers to capybaras. But it’s not just a bunch of facts — there’s also a fun guessing game, a conservation challenge where kids can earn money for nature organizations, and even a few jokes thrown in to keep things light.
