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 Cheetah
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In the golden grasslands of Africa, a young cheetah named Zuri is trying very hard to become something she’s not. A lion.
Her best friend Hugo the lion is strong. Really strong. He can roar, wrestle, and shove logs with his giant paws. Zuri tries everything to be strong like him … but nothing seems to work.
Until one surprising moment reveals something important: Zuri doesn’t need to be strong like a lion, because cheetahs have superpowers of their own.
Join Carie, Lincoln, and Eliza as they explore the speedy, spotted, super-powered world of the fastest land animal on Earth: the cheetah.
Kids will discover:
• Why cheetahs are the fastest land animals on Earth
• How their bodies are specially built for speed
• What an adaptation is and how it helps animals survive
• Why different animals are specialized for different jobs in nature
