Newsy Pooloozi - The News Pod for Kids [Leela Sivasankar Prickitt, Lyndee Prickitt]
Newsy Pooloozi is a weekly, world news podcast for smart kids and curious adults, covering science, animals, space, tech, culture, entertainment, sports… and even politics! The family friendly podcast is presented by a British-Indian-American mother-and-daughter duo, covering the world in a fun and engaging way. Newsy Pooloozi also has kid correspondents from all over the world — Asia, Africa, Europe and North America. The New York Times calls us a "news variety show." We're also on the NYT's Top 30 Podcast For Kids list (under our former name, Newsy Jacuzzi)!

We are a mother-daughter team of podcasters who crawl under the bed each week to record our news podcast for kids.
Why under the bed? Because the sound is better there (and it makes us laugh)! We live in India but have roots across the world. Stuck inside all summer during the nasty old COVID-19 pandemic, all we could do to feel connected to the world was report on it. And so Newsy Pooloozi was born! Check out our super short intro trailer here.
We’re also pretty passionate about getting people – young and old! – more interested in current affairs. We work hard to make the complicated more simple, the seemingly dull pop with life and have as much fun as possible with our family-friendly, educational news podcast for kids and curious minds everywhere!
P.S.: Our little grassroots initiative has been featured by prestigious newspapers like The New York Times, Mashable, The Hindu, The Indian Express, BBC Asia, and more!
