Kingdom: Animalia - A Zoology Podcast for Kids
This is a for-kids-(and adults)-by-kids-(and chickadees) animal podcast. In every regular episode, your host, Devon, and podcast-overthrowal-plotting chickadee co-hosts, Chet and Cap, will dive into all the facts about one species of animal with jokes, fun facts, and quizzes along the way. Every third-ish episode is our game show, Animalia Fake!, in which there are three rounds with four outrageous animal facts; one of those facts is so outrageous it’s an Animalia Fake (it’s not true), and you have to guess which it is. You can send in questions, comments, episode suggestions, or just a “hello” to animals@kapods.org, and you can learn more at https://kapods.org/animals. So what are you waiting for? Let’s explore this amazing Kingdom: Animalia. New episodes every 1–2 months.

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
