You need some Foolishness in your life!
With most families stuck at home, and the news setting new records for serious content daily, this April Fool’s day is not one to be missed!
Last year a number of Kids Listen podcasts got together for an April Fools Sweeps to celebrate the joy of foolishness.
This year we have some new shenanigans for you and your family to enjoy!
April Eight
Well, it looks like Roxie, April’s dog and podcasting sidekick, is taking over the April Eight Songs & Stories Podcast because, no really, April’s daughters have accidentally turned her into a gnome!
But no worries, Roxie has all sorts of songs (??) and stories (??) to share. What happens next is anybody’s guess…

Book Power for Kids!
The Book Power kids are trying to review “An Undone Fairy Tale” by Ian Lendler and Whitney Martin, but their dad has a lot of work to do and it’s so hard putting a podcast together!

Buttons and Figs
Nonsense appeared to be on a collision course with reason…presenting Buttons & Figs and the Oyster Actors on the Air in The War of the Fools.
It was on this day, April 1st, in which weird happenings began to happen. Reporters began to report reportable events, reportable strange happenings, reportable odd sightings — a meat shower, a weird alphabet song, odd creatures sailing in a sieve making demands…what if it were all true?!
Featuring voices from the pod-o-sphere, including The Past & The Curious, Composer Dad, and What If World. Tune in to Buttons & Figs to find out what the reporters are reporting this April Fool’s day. btw…does anyone have any stilton cheese?!

Cool Facts About Animals
The Cool Facts About Animals crew looked high and low for the information they needed to research their episode on unicorns. But try as they might, they could not find even basic facts like what unicorns eat, what the horn is for, and what their favorite jokes are.
Luckily, Professor Abacus P. Grumbler, resident What If World unicorn expert, was able to answer all our questions. You will not want to miss this informative and laugh-out-loud special episode.
