Last Week: Gun Safety

Because kids are seeing guns in so many places, The Children’s Hour has tips on gun safety that hunting families have taught their kids for generations. We learn from kids who are hunters themselves on what hunting means to them, and we explore gun laws in the US and the world. Gun violence prevention begins with a conversation at home. Join us for this lifesaving episode of The Children’s Hour.

This Week: Okee Dokee Brothers

Spend and hour with the Okee Dokee Brothers, as we explore their music, roots, and story in an exclusive Children’s Hour Kids Crew interview onsite at the Lensic in Santa Fe. Nina from our Kids Crew meets up with the duo backstage before a sold out performance for kids and families. Winners of five Parents’ Choice awards, a Grammy and frequent guests on PBS Kids, you’ll be singing along with the Okee Dokee Brothers and dreaming of canoe trips on long rivers. It’s a musical celebration of folk and bluegrass on The Children’s Hour.

Next Week: Turkeys

Just in time for Thanksgiving, we explore the bird many of us eat on Thanksgiving Day: the turkey. We will learn about wild turkeys and what their lives are like when they are not living in captivity. Native Americans like the Zuni in New Mexico have ancestrally been experts in wild turkey husbandry, and many indigenous cultures use turkey feathers as part of ceremonial items. Gobble up everything to know about turkeys, on this animal podcast for kids about these magnificent North American birds.
