Culture Kids

Culture Kids is a multiple award-winning nonprofit organization that creates immersive audio adventures, helping children explore the world and connect with people, places, and stories in meaningful ways. Hosted by a mom and her son, each episode begins aboard a magical Culture Train, where families travel the world together right from home. From bustling cities to quiet villages, we explore cultures through holidays, food, traditions, animals, and the everyday lives of people everywhere, all through a lens that feels relatable, curious, and grounded in real family experiences. Each journey is brought to life with real voices, in partnership with cultural organizations, museums, and communities around the world, so every story feels authentic and full of discovery. As one of our 6-year-old listeners shared, our show โ€œcreates love around the world.โ€ So pack your imaginary passports and grab your bags, because itโ€™s time to hop on the Culture Train and become globe-trotting explorers right where you are!
