Million Bazillion Podcast: Helping Kids Make Sense Of Money

 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.
