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.

In a sandy, sun-baked desert in Australia, a friendly bearded dragon named Ziggy just wants to make friends. But every time he lifts his arm to say hello, the other animals scatter. Follow along as Ziggy discovers that different animals communicate in different ways and that kindness sometimes means learning someone else’s language.
In this episode, Carie, Lincoln, and Eliza explore the world of bearded dragons with fun facts and an original, kid-friendly story.
Kids will discover:
- What’s behind that “bearded” name
- How bearded dragons communicate
- The unique way that bearded dragons stay hydrated in the desert
