Halloween is a fun-filled holiday for kids and parents. Although Halloween will be different this year because of the coronavirus pandemic and because many families will choose to limit trick-or-treating, there are still many ways to celebrate the spooky holiday. Here are a few Halloween podcasts for kids to get them in the spirit of the holiday.
