Kids Pod Turtles with Dr James Van Dyke

Tune in and listen to Dr James Van Dyke, a senior lecturer at La Trobe University talk about freshwater turtles

Have you heard the story about the turtle that beat the hare in a race? Do you think it's true? Dr James Van Dyke is a senior lecturer at La Trobe University who specialises in studying turtles and you might be surprised at the answer he has to that question. We are happy to welcome James today to Kids Pod to tell us how long turtles live and to answer all your questions.

Kids Pod episodes focus on sustainable living in Albury-Wodonga. Kids Pod is a locally created series where children aged 12 and under ask adults the questions they really want to know. Nothing is too rude to ask!

Kids Pod is available free to download on iTunes, Spotify and Google Podcast.


Kids Pod was created by Aimee Chan on Wiradjuri land. Jingle by Niki Strauss. Cover art by Glen Strauss. Narration by Jasmine Poulton.
