Y’all, podcasts aren’t just for adults. There is some great content out there directly created for kids. We listen on long road trips to pass the time or a random Tuesday when I’ve had enough of the Kidz Bop Hits.Ā
Speaking of Kidz Bop, have you seen their dance breaks on my post on awesomeĀ celebrity virtual dance parties?
