Playfully Persistent

Business EN ↓ 31 episodes

Playfully Persistent is Des Moines Children's Museum's podcast that explores all things children's museums and all sorts of tangents. Episodes are quick listens and are perfect to listen to while loading a dish washer, folding laundry, or sanding and sealing the next exhibit. We'll keep it playful even while we are persistent on the importance of play and children's museum. In a way, we specialize in eating pretend ice cream and pizza.
