CitySpace's two-day podcast festival for kids returns Saturday, February 15 and Sunday, February 16 with performances presented by WBUR and friends! Whether your child wants to understand how to tell what's true from what's false, learn about important people in history, hear stories from Ancient Greece or folk tales from around the world or discover the wonders found in nature, we have it all with live performances from “Circle Round,” “But Why,” The Big Fib,” “Greeking Out” “The Past and The Curious” and “Terrestrials.”


Saturday, February 15


10:00 a.m. | Circle Round

Circle Round adapts age-old folktales from around the world into sound- and music-rich audio plays for modern kids ages 3-103. Join host Rebecca Sheir, composer Eric Shimelonis and a talented cast of actors as they bring two exciting folktales to life on stage. One will be a listener favorite chosen…by you! Copies of the Circle Round books will be available for purchase from our bookstore partner Brookline Booksmith and Rebecca will sign after the show.


12:00 p.m. | "But Why" presents Hoots and Whistles

How do owls see at night? And why do they spin their heads around? How do peregrine falcons fly? "But Why," Vermont Public's podcast for curious kids, explores the fascinating world of birds in this interactive show. Host Jane Lindholm will be joined by special guests—and live owls and hawks--as they answer questions submitted by kids from all over the world. By the end of the show, you'll be a bird-caller extraordinaire!


2:00 p.m. | "The Big Fib"

In the era of fake news, kids need to learn to be able to tell what’s true from what’s false. And what better way to do that than a game show that puts kids in the driver’s seat, adults on the hot seat, and a sound-effects robot strapped to the roof? During the game, you'll meet two people who claim to be experts in a particular topic, but one of them is actually…a BIG FIBBER! Join host Deborah Goldstein and silly sound effects robot L.I.S.A. (aka Live In-Studio Audience robot) as a human child contestant asks insightful questions, weighs the evidence presented and helps us identify our BIG FIBBER!


Sunday, Febuary 16


10:00 a.m. | Nat Geo Kids "Greeking Out"

Oh, Muses! Hear this podcast and allow us to recall some of the greatest stories ever told. Stories of gods and goddesses, monsters, and heroes! Enjoy this kid-friendly retelling of classic ancient Greek myths for the whole family, featuring Featuring narrator Kenny Curtis and the Oracle of Wifi (played by Jillian Hughes). Copies of the "Greeking Out" books will be available for purchase from our bookstore partner Brookline Booksmith and Kenny and Jillian will sign after the show.


12:00 p.m. | "The Past and The Curious"

Don’t let anyone tell you History can’t be fun. "The Past And The Curious" host Mick Sullivan loves to get excited about people and places of the past - and he loves to share that excitement with others. This live show will weave together stories of curious and interesting people from the past – like a South African woman who discovered a species everyone thought was extinct, and an American woman who conquered Niagara Falls in pickle barrel on her 63rd birthday. In addition, Mick has developed a multimedia performance with original music, imagery, and engaging storytelling to share the fascinating story of The Longest Painting in the World.


2:00 p.m. | Radiolab for Kids Presents: “Terrestrials”

"Terrestrials" is a show for kids and families that explores the strangeness that exists right here on Earth. In each episode, host Lulu Miller (co-host of “Radiolab”) introduces a creature or earthly phenomenon that will defy your expectations of how nature is supposed to work. For this brand-new live show, the team looks into a sea creature that is beloved to Bostonians — clams! They are stranger, wilder and older than you think! The team has cooked up an incredible chowder of stories, music and guests. And we will be calling on you, the audience, to ask questions of our special guests and to help us record a brand-new song. It’s gonna be a ball. Or, should we say, “a clam?”
