Podcasts aren’t just for grownups! But it feels like we’re still in the early days of hearing podcasts produced specifically for younger audiences. In this panel, creators of podcasts serving younger audiences will discuss some of the best fiction podcasts available for kids right now as well as how this space may grow in the future. They will also discuss their aims in creating stories for a young audience and the challenge of getting their work out to their intended listeners.

This panel will be live-streamed on YouTube with live closed captioning and an ASL interpreter.
