Fun Kids Science Quest
Fun Kids Science Quest is the flagship science podcast from Fun Kids, the UK's children's radio station, and with over 560 episodes it has built one of the largest science archives aimed at young listeners. Host Dan guides kids through topics ranging from dinosaurs and deep space to ocean research and the human body, with expert guests dropping in to answer questions and explain complex ideas in plain language.
The show runs several recurring series within the main feed, which keeps things fresh. Deep Space High takes a fictional school-in-space premise to teach astronomy. Age of the Dinosaurs does exactly what you would expect. Professor Hallux tackles the human body with a mix of gross-out facts and real science. Then there is the "Dangerous Dan" segment, which highlights scientific phenomena that sound too wild to be true. It is a clever structure that lets kids find the series that matches their interests.
Rated 4.4 stars from over 400 reviews, the podcast publishes weekly and is also available on DAB digital radio across the UK and through the Fun Kids app. The tone is enthusiastic without being hyper, and Dan has a knack for making complex topics feel approachable. There is a premium subscription option for ad-free listening, but the free version is perfectly complete. A solid pick for any science-curious kid who wants to learn something new on the school run.
