Bust or Trust
Calling all Chief Detectives!
Bust or Trust is a podcast for curious kids who’d like to get to the bottom of some of the world’s most interesting mysteries.
From Big Foot to the Lost City of Atlantis, “Myth Truster” Tiernan Douieb and “Myth Buster” Athena Kugblenu take you through each case.
It’s up to the Chief Detectives listening to decide if they bust the myth or trust it!
A real family listen, full of fun facts and silly jokes, this podcast encourages young listeners to think critically about “evidence” and how to debate and disagree in a playful and productive way.
