We’re back with NEW episodes!

We’re back! After a few months of testing some new things out, we are back to publishing weekly episodes!

If you’re new here, First Stop News is a fresh twist on a traditional news show for kids 8-12 years old. We cover everything from breaking news to deep-dive book reports and kid-centric stories. Our goal is to be a reliable outlet for the information kids are seeking, helping to create the next generation of critical thinkers.

If you and your kids like the show, please share it with friends, fellow parents, and teachers! And if you have any feedback or questions, email us at hi@firststopnews.com.

Thanks for watching,

The First Stop News Team
