FREE GARDENING PODCASTS
Posted on Thursday, December 4th, 2008 at 1:39 pm
What is a great (audio-only) podcast source for an 11-year-old girl?
My niece is visiting and we may go camping for a week. I like the idea of having an evening “radio hour” where we can listen to a serialized story suited to her age, perhaps with a young adventuresome girl as the heroine. I’d love to find a source of free online podcasts that feature ongoing stories that are interesting to her. Any ideas?
(My Plan B is a book on tape, something along the lines of The Secret Garden or Pippi Longstocking).
Sorry, I’m not JUST looking for a source. I’m also looking for specific suggestions for a kid-friendly podcast. What stories should I get? Do you have a couple of suggestions?
I only know of one place that does “serialized audiobooks in podcast form”,and that place is: Podiobooks.com. It doesn’t really have much of a selection though,but the podcasts are free. I’m not sure if you can actually download them though..XD. I *am* sure about audiobooks. If you’re willing to spend some money,then the best place to go would be audible.com/audible.co.uk,or itunes. Some good stories featuring adventurous girls are: Anne of Green Gables and Emily of New Moon. I also found two audiobooks that an 11 year old girl would probably enjoy: Something,Maybe By Elizabeth Scott and Riding Freedom by Pam Munoz Ryan. I also found two good websites which have lots of kid-friendly podcasts:http://kids.podcast.com/ and http://authorsinyourpocket.com/site/welc…
I’m sorry if this isn’t really what you need,but I hope it helps!
