What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

We've been listening to Curious kids for a very long time now and we are still obsessed as the very first day. Josh got my little one into podcasts and i couldn't be more grateful for the work he does! Also want to say that the curious kids club is so worth doing! It makes kids feel so involved and creates such a sense of community. So much so that she thinks she knows Josh personally 🤣. She tells everyone she can about what she learned from Josh! We love curious kids everyday!!

I honestly cannot believe there would be a single bad review of Josh’s podcast. It’s interesting for all ages (small kids to adults), well researched and factually accurate, funny and clean, inspiring and engaging, musically genius, creative and reliable, high-quality and deeply human, and just all around wonderful and doing families everywhere a huge service. Thank you for your pure intentions, energy, and time put into making this podcast everyday.

Such a clever and engaging episode—turning a simple question about worms into a fascinating science discussion for kids was so well done. The curiosity-driven approach makes learning feel natural and exciting instead of overwhelming.

Mary Burruss · May 2026

My boys love this podcast! They often say “I have a curious kids question”. We started listening without realizing that Josh was the one who makes it. I was a huge Blimey Cow fan so it was fun when we connected the dots.

Cara Sea · May 2026

We were loving this podcast. The kids were asking for it every time we were in the car until we came up on “Why Do Our Teeth Fall Out.” My son happens to believe in the tooth fairy and has a loose tooth. He outright says that parents take the tooth and put a prize under the pillow. My son asked about it. There should be a disclaimer in the very least in the title. If it mentioned that in the title I would have skipped the episode and kept going. Because of the sneaky intent by not letting parents know first makes me very upset especially since it’s geared towards little kids. It brings the question what else is said in the episodes that are just going to be thrown in there.
