Pea Green Boat
Weekdays 4:00 PM -5:00 PM
Discovery and delight await the young and the young at heart.
Each day we set sail with stories, songs, and poetry, on our journey of discovery, wonder, and delight. Listeners of all ages are invited aboard to share stories from all over the world, celebrating storytellers of all cultures.
Since 1976 Montana Public Radio has made a commitment to our younger listeners. Tune into the Pea Green Boat weekdays at 4pm.
