Want to catch up on the Kidsburgh Podcast? Here’s the scoop on both seasons!

We’ve just wrapped the second season of the Kidsburgh Podcast and we’re so glad this new resource is helping (and entertaining) families. We’ve just been nominated for a “Best of the ‘Burgh award” by Pittsburgh Magazine (you can vote right here in the Personalities category under podcasts) and you can find both seasons at Apple PodcastsPandora and Spotify, or at the SLB website, or listen below!

Our goal is to bring podcast listeners interesting stories and interviews they can enjoy with their kids — and maybe get inspired by. Now that we’ve got two seasons available, we thought some Kidsburgh readers might want a quick rundown of all 24 episodes.
