Hi, awesome person who cares about kids being informed and having some fun along the way! Welcome to The Ten News, a news podcast for curious 8-12 year olds and their grown-ups.

OUR MISSION

Kids are bombarded with information these days whether it’s from their device notifications, TVs on in the background, or conversations at school. At The Ten News, we provide the context behind the headlines and break down news and current events in a fun and digestible way. We’ve hosted guests like Pedal Steel Noah, Lil Miss Hot Mess, Dr. Anthony Fauci, LEGO Masters Judge, Amy Corbett, and more!

Ever wonder when International LEGO Day is or when the next Nintendo game is releasing?
Want the latest on the Ukraine war and what countries are in NATO?
Do you care about the environment and want to meet Apple's Recycling Robot?

The Ten News has got you covered and helps all kids (and kids at heart), stay cool, kind, and informed.
