Greeking Out from National Geographic Kids

Podcast · 2019 · National Geographic Kids; hosted by Kenny Curtis

This report covers the full series (Seasons 1–10, 2019–2024). Greeking Out is a lively, humor-filled retelling of Greek myths hosted by Kenny Curtis and the Oracle of WiFi, produced by National Geographic Kids with clear educational intent. The myths are thoughtfully adapted for young ears, but the source material means combat, death, monsters, and darker themes appear regularly throughout the run.

Great for mythology-curious kids around 7 and up; sensitive listeners under 7 may want a parent nearby for the battle-heavy and underworld episodes.
