Founded by Desiree Harrison, a math educator and National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Board member, Kids Math Talk is part podcast, part blog, and all about math. The site serves as a resource for educators and caregivers who are searching for ways to make math accessible, active, and fun. Marvel over mathematicians with the podcast's recent focus on uplifting voices from the math community, or explore the archive for plenty of practical tips to "create a positive narrative about math and the role that it plays in our lives." The podcast element of the platform launched in June of 2020, so it unsurprisingly focuses on making math education work in online environments. Episodes are usually less than 45 minutes, and most are accompanied by a transcript of the content. Listeners will also find the show on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, though a benefit of following the link above is the opportunity to explore the other site features; for example, readers will find a collection of math Resources (some for free, others for a fee) and a Blog. Readers can also keep up with the podcast, and Harrison's work generally, by following along on Twitter and Instagram, @Kidsmathtalk.
