Culture Kids

by Culture Kids Productions

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 “creates love around the world.” So pack your imaginary passports and grab your bags, because it’s time to hop on the Culture Train and become globe-trotting explorers right where you are!

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

We love this podcast! The stories we get to learn about and exploring different cultures. A wonderful alternative to tv because you use storytelling to spark our imagination and set the scene! In a future episode we would like to learn how Christmas is celebrated around the world. Thank you Asher and Kristen!

Mama HH · Sep 2026

This is a fun and educational podcast for kids! I love the narratives, the topics are engaging, easy to understand, and teach important life lessons in a creative way. Children use their imaginations as they listen to it. My children (a teen and a 3rd grader) enjoy listening and even talk about what they learned afterward. We always look forward to new episodes. Highly recommend for families looking for positive, informative and meaningful content for children!

Kellykekewhyte · May 2026

We love this podcast! It is so much fun to learn about the world with Asher and Kristen. My kids say their favorite episodes are the history of chocolate (Brielle, age 5) and the one about garbage trucks (Eli, age 4). Thanks for all the work you all put into this!

guesswho* · May 2026

We absolutely love Culture Kids and the knowledge that it brings to our car rides. My kids are 8 and 5 and adore the podcast so much. The jokes are a huge hit too. Thanks for all the informative and fun episodes. Keep them coming!!
