The PodKids official pilot episode! I had been wanting to have my daughter on the show for a while. She is 9 years old and one of the smartest kids I know. Xad and I often find ourselves amazed at how perceptive she is. We talk about a bunch of kids stuff, what life is like for a kid under quarantine. Sophia has an incredibly positive outlook on life. She is really excited to start her own podcast and she already has a pretty cute name. This episode is completely family-friendly.
