Children have taken over the comment section of NPR's This American Life podcast, using it less like feedback and more like a casual group chat among friends. The unusual phenomenon has drawn attention online, with commentators charmed by how young listeners are repurposing a public comment space for everyday kid talk, prompting wider discussion about who podcasts are actually reaching.
Why now: It is a funny, wholesome example of how children use the internet in unexpected ways, and it raises questions about podcast audiences.
