Kids Corner Archives

Twenty-one years and counting! Since 1988, Kids Corner has been entertaining the kids of the Greater Philadelphia region and beyond! We've also put some smiles on a few adults along the way! Welcome to our audio vault - below are some random clips pulled from the Kids Corner Archives - it's what we like to call a mixed bag of memories! Enjoy!

Thanks to Hayden Van Moskowitz for his assistance in the creation of the Kids Corner Archive section. Hayden worked with Kids Corner as part of his senior project for Moorestown Friends School in Moorestown NJ.

    It's hard to imagine, but there was a time, not too long ago, when everyone was learning how to use a computer for the first time! Back in the 1990s our buddy Chris Spurgeon visited us as part of his ongoing Invention Convention series - to explain the history of computers and the Internet. Check it out!

    In the late 1990s, Kids Corner produced a series of segments called Mystery History - where Kathy would fire up the Kids Corner Menlo 6000 Time Travel machine and 'beam' people from history into the studio for a chat. Check out some of these out-of-the-world visits!

  • Musical Families
    One of our most musical guests on Kids Corner never played an instrument on the show - his name is Steve Winick and he is a musicologist - someone who studies music and the roots of music. Steve would come on to explain all types of music history and here he talks about musical families!
