Kids will love these true crime and mystery podcasts
Not all true crime shows are grim and grisly. These mysteries are safe to enjoy with the whole family.
This week, we're sharing one of our favourite episodes from December 2020. This episode originally aired December 12th and 15th 2020.
Our favourite true crime podcasts can be dark and violent. You may have had to turn our show off at times to protect younger ears. But not this time!
This episode is a kid-friendly zone. Want to know what happened when the world's smallest water lily was stolen? Or hear from some real kid detectives who cracked the case? These stories prove that some great mysteries are for all ages.
Podcasts featured this week:
Criminal: "The summer after Jessica Maple finished 6th grade, she found out that her great-grandmother's house had been burglarized. So, 12-year-old Jessica got out her notebook, looked for fingerprints, and decided she would conduct her own investigation. This week, four stories of kids who cracked the case."
Every Little Thing: "Why would a garden-gloved thief lift a water lily from a botanical garden in London? ELT gets to the root of a rare plant heist."
Dark Poutine: "Sail with us to Demon Isle, a phantom island somewhere in or near the Gulf of St Lawrence. This is where French noblewoman Marguerite de Roberval was marooned by an evil uncle to star in her very own tale of demons, love, loss and survival in New France in the 1500's."
