The Children's Hour

The Children's Hour is a weekly public radio show produced with and for kids of all ages. Our show airs live on our website childrenshour.org from Albuquerque, New Mexico every Saturday morning from 9 to 10am mountain time. We broadcast on more than 120 radio stations worldwide, and have produced more than 150 podcasts on all kinds of topics. Kids are an integral part of our production team, and we're known for our compelling, engrossing interviews and show themes. 



Our educational and entertaining show themes focus on four areas: civics, STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art & Math), culture, and performance. Our Kids Crew interview experts in all areas about topics interesting to everyone. These themes are woven with excellent music, jokes, stories, and poetry.



Before Covid, half of our shows were produced from public venues where our community is part of the production. We were inside museums, laboratories, libraries, cultural centers, and we're even interviewing astronauts on the International Space Station! We can't wait to do that again, but these days we produce our show remotely from our own solar powered studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Kids join us on Zoom and we talk with interesting people from all over the world. Join us for thoughtful and fun Kids Public Radio, The Children's Hour!
