Wild and Kind Kids Podcast
Wild and Kind Kids is a podcast for families who love animals: the furry, feathery, scaly, and wiggly ones! Each episode invites kids (and their grown-ups) to get curious about how creatures big and small live, play, and help our planet. Hosted by a mom and her two curious kids, it’s part storytelling, part sound adventure, and all about growing a wilder, kinder world — one animal at a time.

The Monarch Butterfly
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Wrapped in a quiet chrysalis, a young monarch named Seraphina bursts into the world with brand-new wings and a love for flying. But when the air begins to change and it’s time for the great journey south, Seraphina worries: What if she gets lost? With instinct, warm rising air, and the help of her fluttering flock, she learns she doesn’t have to fly alone.
Join Carie, Lincoln, and Eliza as they flap, float, and glide into the amazing world of monarch butterflies.
