| 6/23/26 |  Your Brain Still Matters + Season 3 Recap and Finale (Kids, parents, & teachers) | Send us Fan Mail AI can feel like magic until you look closer and realize it’s built on choices, data, and a whole lot of guessing. For our Season 3 finale of AI for Kids, we pull together the biggest takeaways from the season and turn them into simple, usable rules kids can remember and grown-ups can support at home, in libraries, and in classrooms. The bottom line stays the same: you don’t have to fear artificial intelligence, but you do have to think, pause, and stay curious. We talk abou... | 25m 19s | ||||||
| 6/9/26 |  Can a Robot Fix Grandma's Pipes? Why Jobs Still Need Human Hands (Kids, parents, & teachers) | Send us Fan Mail AI is getting louder, faster, and more impressive by the week and that can make kids wonder what’s left for humans to do. We wanted to bring a calmer, more real-world answer: the future still needs people who can build, fix, and make things when life breaks in unpredictable ways. I’m joined by Archie D. Nettles, Jr., creator of Trades to the Rescue and the TradesTopolis universe. He writes kids as the heroes of infrastructure, the ones who solve the problems that actually ke... | 32m 15s | ||||||
| 5/26/26 |  How 4th Graders Used AI to Hunt Vampire Fish (Elementary School) | Send us Fan Mail Vampire fish in the Great Lakes sounds like a prank until you learn sea lampreys are real and they’re chewing through ecosystems like trout and salmon. We start with that eerie mental image, then take a hard turn into something hopeful: kids solving a real environmental problem with artificial intelligence, creativity, and a strong sense of what “safe” should mean. A team of fourth graders in Michigan enters the Presidential AI Challenge and builds a concept called the Guard... | 8m 46s | ||||||
| 5/12/26 |  That "Kid" in Your Roblox Game? Might Be a Bot. (Elementary School) | Send us Fan Mail A character in your game says hi back, remembers your name, and chats like they actually know you. That can feel amazing and also a little risky, because more and more games are adding AI powered NPCs that can hold real conversations through tools like Roblox text generation and Minecraft add-ons. When a game starts talking like a person, kids need a few simple rules to stay safe without losing the fun. We break down three big takeaways for navigating AI in video games... | 8m 30s | ||||||
| 4/28/26 |  How to THINK About AI Before It Thinks for You (Older kids, parents, & teachers) | Send us Fan Mail AI sounds smart. But that doesn’t mean it’s right. And it definitely doesn’t mean it should be doing your thinking for you. This week, Dhani Ramadhani joins the show. She’s a mom, a Harvard grad, a GovTech expert, and the creator of aiPTO, a resource built to give families real language for talking about AI at the dinner table. Dhani shares the THINK framework, five letters that put YOU in charge when you’re using AI. WHAT WE COVER The THINK framework: Take time b... | 24m 32s | ||||||
| 4/28/26 |  AI Takes 3 Seconds to Steal Your Voice. One Step Stops It. (Elementary School) | Send us Fan Mail This week, we’re tackling one of the scariest AI scams happening right now: voice cloning. Criminals are using AI to copy someone’s voice from just a few seconds of audio, a TikTok, a voicemail, a birthday video, and then calling their family pretending to be them. The calls sound real. The panic is real. And families across the country are losing money to it. But there’s a dead-simple way to protect your family. One step. We break it all down. How AI voice cloning works: and... | 7m 49s | ||||||
| 4/14/26 |  Why Everything You See Online Is Trying to Get Your Attention (Older kids, parents, & teachers) | Send us Fan Mail This week, Amber sits down with digital producer and internet culture veteran Matt Silverman for a real talk about algorithms, slop, screen addiction, and why being a little bit skeptical online might be the most important skill a kid can have right now. Matt has spent decades covering how the internet works — and more importantly, how it works on us. He breaks it all down in a way that actually makes sense, whether you're 10 or your parent is 45. In this episode: Why the int... | 42m 49s | ||||||
| 4/14/26 |  Why Games Ask for Your Birthday (Elementary School) | Send us Fan Mail A game is loading, a video looks fun, and then a screen pops up demanding your birthday. Why does an app need your age, and what happens if you type it in without thinking? I dig into the real reason age questions show up so often and why that “quick little form” is actually a big online safety moment for kids and families. We connect age gates to real-world rules kids already understand, like movie ratings and height signs at amusement parks. Then we talk about where AI and... | 7m 18s | ||||||
| 3/31/26 |  Is AI Really Your Friend? What Kids Need to Know (Older kids, parents, & teachers) | Send us Fan Mail AI can feel like a mind that knows you, agrees with you, and never gets tired, which is exactly why we need to talk about how it shows up in real life. I’m joined by Dr. Tiffany Petricini , who studies AI and relationships, and Dr. Sarah Zipf, who researches technology in education, to unpack what kids actually need to know about AI beyond the hype and scary movie plots. We get into why technology is never neutral, why there are always benefits and disadvantages, and why sch... | 45m 52s | ||||||
| 3/31/26 |  Can You Spot a Fake AI Video on YouTube? (Elementary School) | Send us Fan Mail A kids’ video can be bright, catchy, and totally wrong. We’re seeing more AI-generated videos for kids show up on YouTube and tablets, and some of them slip mistakes into the middle where a quick parent check might miss it. That matters because “small” errors can teach unsafe ideas, confuse real-world rules, and spread misinformation while looking like normal cartoons and sing-alongs. We break down what’s going on in plain language: how AI can create videos fast, why some cr... | 4m 32s | ||||||

| 3/17/26 |  3 Rules to Keep Young Brains Strong, Healthy AI Use & Homework Balance (Elementary School) | Send us Fan Mail AI can do homework-level tasks in seconds, which is exactly why so many parents and teachers feel uneasy. After a short break, we’re back with a solo check-in that tackles the question showing up all over parent message boards: how much AI is too much for kids, and what does “healthy” AI use actually look like when school and screens are already competing for attention? We dig into a concept called cognitive offloading, where we hand our thinking over to a machine and slowly... | 7m 11s | ||||||

(Older kids, parents, & teachers) | Send us Fan Mail Check out this replay episode for kids and parents interested in AI support with storytime. What if a child could open a book and see their own name, face, and dreams driving the plot forward, then watch that same story come to life on screen? We sit down with Brian Carlson, CEO and co‑founder of Storytime AI, to explore how personalized stories and videos can turn reluctant readers into eager creators. From short, high‑interest tales to full‑length novels, Brian shows how id... | 36m 36s | ||||||

Phil’s journey into the world of STEM started with childhood dreams inspired by the Apollo program and Jacques Cousteau, coupled with his parents' influence. He passionately shares how these early experiences... | 33m 53s | ||||||

| 1/6/26 |  Think Like a Data Detective, The Hidden Skill Behind AI (Older kids, parents, & teachers) | Send us Fan Mail A single question from a four-year-old, “What is data?”, sparked a four-year journey that turned everyday moments into a blueprint for teaching kids the foundations of AI. We sit down with Chandra Donelson, chief data and AI officer, Air Force reservist, and author of The Data Detective series, to show how data literacy starts at home with simple habits that build real confidence. Chandra shares the carnival breakthrough that helped her son grasp quantitative and qualitative... | 37m 52s | ||||||
| 1/6/26 |  Is That Video Real? Teaching Kids How to Spot Deepfakes (Elementary School) | Send us Fan Mail A video looks real, the voice sounds familiar, but something feels off. That gut check matters, and we turn it into a simple habit kids can use every day: pause, check, ask. We break down deepfakes in plain language, show how AI learns to mimic faces and voices, and teach a family-friendly game that trains kids to spot tricks without fear or extra screen time. We start by explaining what deepfakes are and how pattern-learning lets AI copy smiles, speech, and movement. From t... | 7m 03s | ||||||
| 12/16/25 |  AI Slop, Character.ai Risks, and Spotting AI Hype (Older kids, parents, & teachers) | Send us Fan Mail What do kids really touch when they “use AI”? We sat down with educator Tom Mullaney and early virtual economy pioneer Tim Allen to strip away the buzzwords and bring AI back to what children actually experience: predictive systems that generate words, pictures, and sounds without authorship or intent. From Second Life marketplaces to today’s chatbots, we trace how hype blurs reality, how “easy button” tools undercut learning, and why kids deserve a clear, practical map for u... | 49m 08s | ||||||
| 12/16/25 |  Are AI Chatbots Safe for Kids? (Elementary School) | Send us Fan Mail Kids are meeting chatbots everywhere, from homework helpers to pop‑ups on websites, and many of them think the robot “feels” things. We cut through the hype with a friendly, practical guide that shows how chatbots really work, why they sometimes sound brilliant and sometimes go off the rails, and what families can do to stay curious and safe at the same time. We start by breaking down the core idea: a chatbot predicts the next word using patterns, not feelings or understandi... | 7m 11s | ||||||

| 11/18/25 |  How Parents Can Guide Kids Through Talking Toys And Chatbots (Older kids, parents, & teachers) | Send us Fan Mail A stuffed animal that answers back. A kind voice that “understands.” A tutor that lives in a fictional town. AI characters are everywhere, and they’re changing how kids learn, play, and bond with media. We sat down with Dr. Sonia Tiwari, children’s media researcher and former game character designer, to unpack how to welcome these tools into kids’ lives without losing what matters most.

| 11/18/25 |  Z is for Zero-Shot Learning - ABCs of AI (Elementary School+) | Send us Fan Mail Hey, hey! You made it to the end of our special ABCs of AI series. In this final episode of the ABCs of AI, we land on the letter Z for Zero-Shot Learning, a fancy AI term that we break down so it makes sense for kids and their grown ups. We talk about how AI can make smart guesses about things it has never “seen” before, why that can be powerful, and why it can also be risky if the data behind it is biased or unfair. Kids will hear a clear reminder that they are the real thi... | 6m 11s | ||||||
| 11/4/25 |  Mattel Is Putting AI in Toys. I Built a Screen-Free AI Deck Instead. (Parents) | Send us Fan Mail Kids are talking to Alexa and seeing AI everywhere before they can even read, but most parents, aunties, and teachers are still trying to figure out what AI actually is.
