We really love podcasts over here at Wunder Stories. I mean listening to The Daily and The Argument and pretty much anything from The New York Times is what helps me deal with this insane new cycle. But, anyway, I digress. The point of this post isn’t about me at all, but rather the kids. Which I guess in a way does have to do with me…

So, holiday travel with kids. It can be a pain at best, a nightmare at worst. But, one saving grace is the insane amount of incredible podcasts for kids out there. From music to mysteries, science and fairy tales, there are so many great ones that are a pleasure to listen to for both kids and their adults. We’ve picked our top five here so you can just sit back and enjoy the ride.
