This one comes out weekly and features one saint, first with a little biography and then a story about something from their life. There are currently 57 episodes to listen to, and they can certainly be listened to multiple times. The girls really do like these and have learned lots of tidbits about a variety of saints (I’ve learned a lot as well). I like that they offer both well known saints and some I’ve never heard of. These are the perfect length for the drive to school (5-10 minutes).

Meg travels around the world sharing about a whole host of Catholic things. While the whole podcast is not focused on kids, she has many episodes (21 I think) that are called Saints for kids. These are usually talks she has given to kids about a variety of saints. She loves to pick out saints we have never heard of before and also tells such exciting stories.
