Smart Media Picks For The Whole Family

Kidliterate is a podcast about books and media for kids, hosted by Sarah Powers (of the popular weekly parenting show The Mom Hour) and her 13-year-old daughter.

In each episode we discuss the, books, shows, podcasts, and music that our family enjoys–PLUS how we discover great media for kids AND how we consume it–as well as other fun stuff like board games, tablet games and movies.

We finish each episode by sharing what we’re reading right now, and what YOU’re reading (send us an email and we’ll spotlight you and your family on the show!).
