Season 6 was unforgettable — now let’s make Season 7 even bigger ⭐️

Hi there, Ten’ers 👋

Season 6 was nothing short of extraordinary. This year, we helped guide young listeners through the stories shaping their world, blending major headlines with curiosity, fun, and thoughtful conversations.

From A Guide to Gerrymandering & Weird Laws and A Ten’er Takeover: The Kids' Choice Episode to a Special Report: What’s Going on with Venezuela, plus A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Banana Ball, we covered big topics in ways kids could truly connect with.

Along the way, The Ten News was honored with a Silver Signal Award for Craft – Best Co-host Team, recognizing the incredible work of our hosts, Ryan Willard and Pamela Kirkland. We were also named a 2026 Webby Honoree in the Kids & Family category, an exciting recognition of our mission to create fun, factual news that helps curious kids and families better understand the world around them.

The Ten News is the award-winning podcast for curious kids ages 8–12—and the grown-ups who want them to be cool, kind, and informed. We break down the headlines, spotlight incredible guests, and tackle topics kids actually care about.
