Through our years as a homeschool family we have been blessed by 8 wonderful catholic podcasts and YouTube channels that have inspired our children (and us!) and supplemented beautifully the faith formation we provide at home.
Here are our favorite ones:
Podcasts
1. Saints Alive Podcast: Created by husband and wife, Alex and Melissa Dee, this is a high quality production that brings to life the greatest Saints of our Church. Professional voice actors make learning about our Faith entertaining and enjoyable to listen as a family.
2. Saint Stories for Kids: This series of short stories is the perfect intro for your little ones to the lives of the Saints. Created by Shining Light Dolls' Chantal Baros.
3. The Saints - The Merry Beggars: A daily podcast presenting Saints' adventures of faith and courage as a cinematic experience.
4. Catholic Sprouts Podcast: A 5-minute podcast with wonderful, all-Catholic content. Perfect to listen with your kids over breakfast, while running errands, or during your morning time.
5. Hallow Kids: I love the Hallow app and the kids content that they have is amazing! "Guess that Saint" and their bedtime stories have been very well enjoyed at home.
Youtube Channels
1. Catholic Central: Do you have teens or tweens? They will love the hosts of Catholic Central and their "enter-forming" style (entertaining and formative) as they navigate through 2,000 years of Church history and doctrine.
2. Juice Box: Created and produced by Emmy Award winner Spirit Juice Studios, this show is so much fun for little ones! They have episodes on Bible stories, the Sacraments, lives of Saints, liturgical living, the Mass. Good stuff, indeed!
3. Marcam: Children 2-6 years old will love this show that teaches our Catholic Faith in a fun and engaging way. Marcam, the host, takes children from zoos to churches, interviews soccer stars, and more!

Saturdays with Sir Rolland is our favorite! He has lots of past episodes on Catholic Sprouts, but this summer he moved to his own podcast. I also highly highly recommend the “deadly dragons” book series where he matches each of the seven deadly sins to a dragon and teaches young Catholics the art of “dragon slaying” – especially recommend for kids preparing for First Communion!
