As another school year comes to a close, it feels like a good time to share some fun podcasts for students to keep them engaged during these final weeks of school. Our collection of audio stories covers thousands of topics: from prehistoric penguins to pollution, from treasure hunting to tossing hot dogs, from sneaker culture to star gazing, and much more.
Below, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite stories from our current events collection. The topics are on the lighter side, intended to entertain, educate, and uplift.
Each audio story is 2-5 minutes long and is accompanied by comprehension and discussion questions, and sometimes a quiz. These stories will inspire curiosity, creativity, and fun during these slower-paced weeks. Enjoy!
