Expert Q & A

Where's the best place to download safe video podcasts for my kids to watch?

The ever-popular iTunes allows you to search for podcasts by genre such as "kids." Also, you can check for available video podcasts on your children’s favorite websites, such as those created by Disney or the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS). And to help your child create her very own podcast, check out a site called Kid-Cast -- an online resource dedicated to podcasts that are for kids, by kids.
