Brushy: Fun Facts For Kids

Brushy has one of the cleverest hooks in kids podcasting: each episode is exactly two minutes long, designed to be listened to while children brush their teeth. Host Eden Matthews packs a surprising amount of fun facts into that tiny window, covering everything from polar bears and axolotls to belly buttons and world records. The format solves two problems at once. Kids learn something interesting, and parents get two minutes of cooperative teeth-brushing without a fight. The topics skew toward the kind of things children naturally find fascinating. There are episodes about capybaras, wombats, ice cream, funny dads, and the science behind Bluey. The delivery is upbeat and punchy, getting straight to the good stuff without any preamble. At 75 episodes and counting, there is enough here to cover several months of brushing sessions before you need to start repeating. Rated 4.7 stars from 43 reviews, Brushy is produced by Podspot and hosted on Acast. It publishes roughly weekly. The show has a "Brushy Besties" membership for dedicated fans, but the standard episodes are free. It is one of those podcasts that seems almost too simple to be effective, but the constraint of the two-minute format actually makes it more memorable. Kids retain the facts because they are delivered in bite-sized pieces at a consistent time every day. Genuinely useful for building a brushing habit, too.
