I listen to podcasts mostly while driving-alone. When my toddler is in the car, she's guaranteed to either scream while I'm trying to hear Radiolab or pay a little too much attention to, say, WTF.

This week, I round up a few podcasts that entertain the kids without grating on our nerves. For more podcast recs, visit the archive, and please send any suggestions via Twitter or in the comments.

FOR PRESCHOOLERS

Parents of preschoolers may want to subscribe to this video podcast, which releases a short 'n' catchy video each week. Recent highlights include " Grover Can Do It" (indeed, he still can) and " Best of Bert and Ernie."

Each short episode features a video version of a notable picture book, making it ideal for the crawling set as well as early readers.

FOR TEENS

FOR YOUNG READERS

This British podcast shares a new family-friendly story each week. Diverse selections include original pieces, poems, and fairy tales, and the full text is posted online.

Don Garvey loves comics, and so do his two young sons. In each episode, the guys chat about what they've been reading and doing (like going to Disney World). They haven't posted an episode in a few months, but I'm hoping it's just because they took a summer break.

This charming new podcast appeals to my inner Reading Rainbow fan. Each episode features kids chatting about their favorite books and celebrity guests like a real-life FBI agent and a member of the Los Angeles Lakers.

MuggleCastAs you may guess by the title, this podcast addresses everything related to Harry Potter and, miraculously, has continued to churn out new episodes years after the series ended.

In celebration of the first installment of , created by School Library Journal blogger Travis Jonker and Colby Sharp, teen librarian Robin Brenner has curated a roundup of podcasts to recommend to young adults who are both new to and well-versed in the format.
Recently, a father and his 12-year-old son were in my library looking for ideas to entertain the boy while he recovered from an upcoming eye surgery. The father pulled out a few audiobooks, but his son was less than enthusiastic about that format. I had a sudden inspiration. I checked to see if the tween would be able to download and listen to podcasts (either via computer or smart phone), and suggested WNYC's Radiolab. I pitched this science-centric podcast as a funny, smart exploration of questions, such as why we laugh, or why we see colors the way we do. When I mentioned that there was an entire episode about digestion and guts, the young man started grinning. The two left excited.

Podcasting started as audio programs produced exclusively for the iPod (hence the name). The format has been around for more than 10 years, but it's only recently that listeners have discovered the convenience, quality, and diversity of available content. In a world of on-demand media-from streaming movies to Netflix's loading of entire seasons of content at a drop-traditional radio's requirement that you tune in at a particular time to listen to a program is a major impediment for many. Podcasts allow listeners the freedom to decide when and where to download and listen.
Recommended Podcasts for Young Adults
Given the thousands of podcasts available, where should teens start? As with any reader's advisory, librarians should consider the individual teen, his or her interests, and device.

Are they already listeners? Listening to a narrative flexes different muscles than reading the same story on the page. Encourage teens new to the format to first try shorter episode podcasts and to choose topics that especially interest them so that they can give the medium a fair shot. Once they figure out how they listen best, whether it's walking or doing the dishes, they can test out longer narratives.
How much time do they have? Dan Carlin's in-depth nonfiction podcast, Hardcore History, will occupy listeners for hours. On the other hand, episodes of Nate Dimeo's history podcast, The Memory Palace, range from five to 20 minutes in length. Savvy listeners keep different programs for different breaks in their day, choosing installments to suit their mood or available time. Listeners embarking on an hour trip can tune into one episode of This American Life, two episodes of Welcome to Night Vale, or four episodes of the Allusionist.

Are they restless listeners? If you know teens who would like to give podcasts a try but complain that they don't want to "just sit there," give them something to do with their hands, such as coloring or origami. Avid podcast listeners are often people who tackle other tasks or are engaged in other activities while they listen whether it's exercising, commuting, knitting or drawing.

Do they want to start with something with a definite finish, or dive into an ongoing podcast? Think through what style of show they might prefer. There are programs built around reactions to weekly events, from news summaries (BBC News: The World This Week) to popular culture discussions (NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour). There are also single topic productions, ( Radiolab or 99% Invisible) that limit each episode to one question or concept. As podcasts have become more established, shows, such as Serial, have been created as seasons, covering one story over multiple episodes.
Do they want to keep up with new episodes? Many podcasts update with new episodes weekly monthly, or when they have something new to say. One of the most convenient aspects of podcasts is that you can subscribe via applications, such as iTunes, Stitcher, Pocket Casts, and Overcast. Podcasts can be set up to automatically download new episodes whenever they become available, ensuring that listeners never miss an episode of their favorite shows. With the best apps, you can skip over dead air or even adjust the audio levels, helping to smooth over a less-than-perfect production.
What kind of content are they (or their parents) comfortable with? Keep in mind that podcasts are created for a range of audiences. Some will feature salty language as part of the banter between hosts, while others steer clear of four-letter words or explicit discussions. Explicit content warnings are included in most episode descriptions, and at the start of each individual episode. I've found radio podcasts to be the most reliable in providing listeners a heads-up when they venture into potentially disturbing territory, while other podcasts, especially those of the entertainment variety, presume that if you've signed up for their brand of show, you know what you're getting into.

Here are a few top picks that have the potential to capture your teens' attention.

99% INVISIBLE
Roman Mars's smart, insightful episodes focus on the many ways that design impacts our lives. The title comes from the idea that good design should be mostly unnoticed. We all benefit from good design from our cell phones' rings to stackable chairs, but we rarely think too hard about the who, the why, or the how of those particular designs. Each episode tackles the history, usage, and innovation of a design, from flags to fonts. Why did the hashtag become the character we now use in social media (and just what did we use it for before, anyway)? Did the inventor of revolving doors really hate people? How terrible is your state flag? For more like this, try Design Matters
Teen-friendly episodes: #8: "Free Parking," #43: "The Accidental Music of Imperfect Escalators," #44: "The Pruitt-Igoe Myth," #93: "Revolving Doors," #140: "Vexillonaire," or #145: "Octothorpe."

THE ALLUSIONIST
Do you have any word nerds in your library? Helen Zaltzman's irreverent, sharp-witted podcast investigates the weird and wonderful history of language. Each episodes opens with the etymology of a familiar word or phrase, but the meat of each 15-minute episode digs into a particular aspect of language. Why are puns difficult to pull off and groan-worthy? How are crossword puzzles created? What on earth is a mountweazel? For more like this, try History of English.
Teen-friendly episodes: #1: "Ban the Pun," #3: "Going Viral," #7: "Mountweazel," #10: "Election Lexicon," or #13: "Mixed Emojions"

THE MEMORY PALACE
The Memory Palace shines because of Nate Dimeo's carefully written, periodically heartrending tales of overlooked moments and people in history. I have used this podcast during school visits to show off just how much you can learn, for example, in the six-minute story of the first elephant to arrive in the United States (# 32: "Gigantic"). Like the nonfiction authors Steve Sheinkin and Deborah Heiligman, Dimeo is most interested in the human stories behind the dates and places students are required to memorize. For years, Memory Palace episodes arrived irregularly, but now the show is a part of the growing Radiotopia network and has a steady release schedule. For more like this, try Radio Diaries.
Teen-friendly episodes: #25: "I Have Not Yet Begun to Rot," #32: "Gigantic," #42: "What They Saw," #45: "Heard, Once," #60: "400,000 Stars," or #72: "The Run of the River."

PITCH
It's a good bet that anyone willing to listen to stories is also a fan of music. Pitch explores how and why sound works on our ears and our hearts. It features episodes that look at how careful pauses and silence are built in to songs, as well as how one change to CD packaging revolutionized the music industry. For more like this, try Everything Sounds, or to dig into how individual songs are created in Song Exploder.
Teen-friendly episodes: #1: "The Clearmountain Pause," #3: "Rock the Longbox," #6: "Karaoke," #9: "Somewhere in My Memory," or #11: "Paintings to Sing"

RADIOLAB
Whether they are science geeks or not, curious teens will appreciate Radiolab's determination to unpack science in all of its uncertainties. As noted above, the show has done everything from investigating why humans laugh (and whether we're the only mammals that do) to just what makes space worth exploring. The two hosts, Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich, approach these questions from opposite sensibilities but when they disagree it's with respect and a healthy sense of humor. For more like this, try Science Friday or Invisibilia.
Teen-friendly episodes: #2.2: "Musical Language," #2.5: "Space," #4.1: "Laughter," #10.1: "Colors," #10.5: "The Bad Show"

REPLY ALL
PJ Vogt and Alex Goldman host a weekly look at life on the Internet. As with all the best Internet searches, their investigations often lead them down rabbit holes to people and discussions they could never have anticipated when they first began searching a particular issue. The process and their serendipitous discoveries are related with humor and insight. Whatever happened to the first webcam star? How does an investigation of the Girl Scouts cookie empire lead to an internment camp during World War II? For more like this, try Hello Internet.
Teen-friendly episodes: #6: "This Proves Everything," #9: "The Writing on the Wall," #18: "Silence and Respect," #23-24: "Exit & Return Part I and II," and #28: "Shipped to Timbuktu"
Are you recommending podcasts to your students or patrons? If so, which ones? Please add suggestions in the comment section below.
SERIAL
Perhaps the most famous podcast of the last year, the first season of NPR's Serial explores one criminal case over 12 episodes. Host Sarah Koenig retraces the investigation of the 1999 murder of high school student Hae Min Lee to discover if there is room for doubt in the conviction of Lee's classmate (and ex-boyfriend) Adnan Syed for the crime. This is investigative journalism at its best from reporters who know how to tell a story and keep listeners coming back for more. This is a perfect introduction to the format, giving listeners a definite beginning, middle, and end to an episodic narrative. A resolution to the crime is not guaranteed, but energetic discussion definitely is. For more like this, try its parent podcast, This American Life, or for more true crime, Criminal.

STUFF YOU MISSED IN HISTORY CLASS
Two journalists and history enthusiasts, Tracy V. Wilson and Holly Frey, romp through the past and pull out all of the best bits-all true but it's the stuff that's usually left out of textbooks. Topics range from the doomed attempt to introduce hippos as a new source of protein in America in the early 1900s to overviews of the history of peanut butter or time capsules. The episodes are well-researched, and the hosts take care to note where historical ambiguity exists and discuss the ways that events can be read and interpreted. Most episodes are stand-alones, but the hosts will also tackle more complex issues in several linked episodes such as the history of the Freedom Riders (both in the United States and later in Australia) or the Lindy Hop. For more like this, try Backstory or, for much longer but no less interesting histories, Dan Carlin's Hardcore History.
Teen-friendly episodes: "The Freedom Riders," "The Long Winter," "13 Reasons for the American Revolution"

WELCOME TO NIGHT VALE
Welcome to Night Vale burst on to the podcast scene in the summer of 2013, and rapidly zoomed up the listening charts to the top spot. One of the rare story podcasts to gain a widespread, devoted audience, this eerie show presents itself as the local community news from a small town somewhere in the desert (think Prairie Home Companion meets X-Files). However, this small town is a burg where blood sacrifices are common, there are hovering helicopters tracking citizens on behalf of multiple secret organizations, and the library is the most dangerous place in town (be very careful of those librarians). The mix of horror, humor, rich world building, and unforgettable characters will entrance fans of stories that hail from somewhere between here and The Twilight Zone. For more like this, try The Thrilling Adventure Hour.
Teen-friendly episodes: #1: "Pilot," #13: "A Story About You," #19A-B: "The Sandstorm," #28: "Summer Reading Program," #33: "Cassette"

Intrigued by the world of podcasting? This Five-Minute Film Festival features videos, resources, and articles to help any educator get started using podcasts in the classroom as a learning tool.

We are currently experiencing a renaissance of audio-only content not seen since the dawn of radio. Thanks to the ubiquity of mobile devices, we can bring amazing shows to our ears anywhere, anytime -- and resourceful educators are finding ways to use these podcasts in the classroom to engage their students. Below is a small selection of my favorites. As with all materials, please preview anything you plan to share with students -- these were produced for a general audience and may contain adult-oriented language or content. But I believe there is rich fodder for powerful learning experiences to be found here.

Video Playlist: Podcasts for the Classroom

1. (10:22)
Definitely one of my very favorite listening experiences, defies categorization as hosts Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich take on questions of science, philosophy, and human nature with endlessly curious beginner's minds. This lovely video portrait is from the American Hipster series, and contains a swear word at 09:39.

2. StoryCorps, MacArthur Award Recipient (03:42)
There's a reason the StoryCorps project won both a MacArthur Award (in 2013) and this year's TED Prize: they are attempting to build an archive of human experience through recorded stories, especially with the recent release of a new app intended to take their model global. Check out StoryCorps education resources here.

3. Invisibilia: "You're Moving Wrong" (03:23)
A newcomer to the NPR scene, this podcast absolutely captured my heart with hosts Alix Spiegel and Lulu Miller's fanciful explorations into the unseen forces that affect human behavior. This video was made as an April Fool's Day joke, but it gives you a feel for the playful tone of the show.

4. Freakonomics (Trailer) (02:32)
If I had access to the Freakonomics podcast in high school, Econ would not have been my least favorite subject. This brilliant show explores "the hidden side of everything" from an economist's perspective -- and it's riveting. This trailer is for a 2010 documentary based on the original book (which then spun off into the podcast). Here are PDFs of an instructor's guide and a student guide for the book, and you can also find a compilation of lesson plans.

5. Erin Barker & Ben Lillie at TEDMED 2013 (12:05)
Story Collider shows begin their life as live events, where people tell stories on stage about being affected by science. This talk by the co-founder and a producer of the show explains why personal stories are so valuable for science communication. Caution for language at 09:49 and 11:18.

6. Serial: The Podcast Everyone's Talking About (05:27)
, the most popular podcast of all time, hooked a large swathe of the population last fall, and despite some very intense and disturbing content, educators have been bringing it into the classroom to teach problem-solving skills and news literacy. Check out these inexpensive standards-based lesson plans for the entire series by ELA teacher Mike Godsey.

7. Roman Mars - This is Radio (04:58)
Started as a collaboration between a radio station and an architectural association, 99% Invisible provides a wonderful lens through which to look at the power of design. Most episodes are less than 20 minutes, and the eclectic range of topics presented by host Roman Mars makes it easy to connect to almost any subject.

8. Julian Treasure: 5 Ways To Listen Better | TED Radio Hour (07:47)
The TED empire continues to expand with the TED Radio Hour, as TEDTalks are reimagined for radio through excerpted clips and new interviews with TED speakers. This video helps us explore how to become better listeners, from the TED Radio Hour episode " Extrasensory".

Watch the first video below, or watch the whole playlist on YouTube.

More Resources on Podcasts for Learning

This list above contains just a few of my favorites; I have to give honorable mentions to Stuff You Missed in History Class, , and This American Life (of course!) for more excellent audio content. There are lots more resources to be found around using podcasts for learning -- I was pleased to find a website called ListenWise that offers lesson plans to accompany segments from public radio. And, if you're interested in actually producing podcasts with your students, there's a treasure trove of resources for that online, as well. I've included a little of each in the following lists. What's your favorite podcast for classroom use? Or do you make your own? Tell us more in the comments below.

3. Children's Fun Storytime
Best for: Letting someone else read aloud to the kids for a change.
Why It's Worth It: This new audio podcast, started this past December, features dramatically intoned readings of favorite kids' stories like The Little Engine That Could and Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland.
Where to Find it: On iTunes.

6. The Science Show for Kids
Best for: Clear, accurate answers to kids' real science questions, like "Why do we have five fingers?"
Why It's Worth It: The Science Show for Kids is a five-minute audio podcast hosted by psychology professor David Brodbeck, who invites children to send in their burning questions. How do bees make honey? Are there really aliens? "If I don't know the answer," Brodbeck says, "I'll find a scientist who does."
Where to Find it: On iTunes.

High school is perhaps one of the biggest turning points of a person's life. Sure, there's still college after that, but not everyone gets the chance to move that stage forward.

So while you're all in the stage where you go wonder what you really want to be like in the years to come, why not try listening to Podcasts to give yourself some insights about life. There are scores of podcasts that you could find all over the internet. Topics range from Academic Related stuff where you could be able to extend your knowledge in any particular class that you like, to inspirational ones which would give you some great things to think about how to live your life and how to enjoy what you have.

So here's a collection of 50 Podcasts that any high school student should listen to, categorized into the four general topics would help you focus on what you might choose to become in the years to come.
Academic Related Podcasts
Not everyone can be a History Buff, a Grammar Nazi, a Science Geek, or a Poetry enthusiast, but a person could try listening to one of these podcasts to have a bit more of new things learned from among every classes like Science, Math, English, History and Literature.

There are things that we can't just learn in a four walled classroom, which is why these podcasts could offer you more practical applications of the theories they discuss to you. Apart from that is you get to know more advance stuff that could help you appreciate learning these classes more.
General and Special Interest Podcasts
Everyone has their own sets of hobbies and interests. Some might be more of into arts (in all sorts of forms) or perhaps photography, or knitting and crocheting. Others might be interested in the latest innovations in technology. Others are superbly curious of how things work so they could make videos of it on YouTube. There are those out there who like stuff about Animals, the Universe, the Mind, Documentaries and Conspiracy Theories and so on and so forth.

So for the sake of having a lot of youngsters out there who are into several things, here's a list of podcasts for those various hobbies and interests.
Entrepreneurship
Isn't there a saying about starting up a business while you are young?

Whether you're into selling things for auction at eBay, or having garage sales on weekends, making homemade cookies and cupcakes for deliveries, it's about time you get to learn more on the techniques on how to make your business flourish into something bigger. Who knows if you could make your business your career if you decide not to go further into college.

Since it's never just about learning the theories about business, but having the ability to be quick and efficient in decision making, why not invest a bit of your time listening to pros on how they handle their business?
Inspirational & Motivational
There are plenty of days we feel down. High School is probably among those days when you feel like everything isn't going how you want them and that you feel like there's no point to all the things happening around you. Now, remember that people around you are having the same struggles too. Some of them have worse things to think and feel about themselves but they still push themselves to go on with their lives. Get to know their heartwarming stories that would tug on your heartstrings. Live by their examples and inspire others like how they inspired you.
