Leela Sivasankar Prickitt, Lyndee Prickitt
Newsy Pooloozi is a weekly, world news podcast for smart kids and curious adults, covering science, animals, space, tech, culture, entertainment, sports… and even politics! The family friendly podcast is presented by a British-Indian-American mother-and-daughter duo, covering the world in a fun and engaging way. Newsy Pooloozi also has kid correspondents from all over the world — Asia, Africa, Europe and North America. The New York Times calls us a "news variety show." We're also on the NYT's Top 30 Podcast For Kids list (under our former name, Newsy Jacuzzi)! We are a proud Kids Listen member too. @newsypooloozi www.newsypooloozi.com
