Embarrassment and Pride - Part 2 - Big Emotions: Kids Listen Mashups About Feelings

Ever find yourself searching for the right words when a child is grappling with a huge feeling? Big Emotions: Kids Listen Mashups About Feelings offers a gentle, creative space for those conversations. Curated by Tal Kelly, this limited series brings together favorite voices from the Kids Listen network for a unique audio experience. Instead of lectures, each episode is a crafted mashup, weaving together original story clips and thoughtful reflections around a pair of connected emotions. The idea is to give shape and sound to the internal world, helping young listeners identify what's swirling inside them-whether it's the tight coil of fear or the warm swell of bravery. For instance, one installment hosted by Eric O'Keefe of What If World explores exactly that pairing, using imaginative storytelling to frame these feelings as part of a shared human adventure. It’s designed for kids to engage with directly, but parents and caregivers will likely find it just as useful, picking up language and perspectives to support emotional growth. This seven-part podcast unfolds with new episodes released on Tuesdays and Thursdays, making it an easy, regular touchpoint for families. By presenting feelings not as problems to solve but as territories to explore, this series becomes a valuable tool for building empathy and self-awareness, one heartfelt mashup at a time.
