It's mid-July. The kids are already bored. As a parent, you're counting the days until school begins.
But, until then...
Looking
for an entertaining summer activity for your kids that will also make
them smarter about money and the economy? Consider listening to Million Bazillion, the podcast from Marketplace that answers awkward, fun and sometimes surprising money questions from real kids!
Described as “a godsend for anyone who knows a little kid with big
questions about money” by The New York Times, the Webby-nominated
podcast Million Bazillion has returned for season three, with new
episodes weekly. Bridget Bodnar is joined by new co-host Ryan Perez to
tackle questions like "What is cryptocurrency?" “How does inflation
work?” and “Why is it so awkward to talk about money?”
Each episode inspires family conversations about the way we use money
in our everyday lives and how it works in the economy. Parents can keep
the conversation going at home with tip sheets, comics and suggested
activities for each episode. And if you’re new to Million Bazillion, you can binge two seasons covering topics like how money is made, why
pizza costs what it does and a whole episode that teaches kids how to
negotiate with their parents.
Want more fun (and smart!) activities? Consider signing up for the Million Bazillion Academy,
Marketplace’s free four-week email course that helps kids learn to set
savings goals, shop smart and have better conversations about money.
Appropriate for all ages (although younger kids might need a *bit of
extra help), the course can be started at any time and completed at your
own pace. Sign up today!
The mantra of Million Bazillion - "We help dollars make more sense!"
