Let's Guess Who with Josh and Blue

You’ve heard of interview podcasts, but what about one where the hosts don’t know who (or what) they’re interviewing?! In their very own game show, Josh and Blue will lead listeners through a series of guessing games to figure out the identity of a new mystery guest in every episode. It could be anyone from a talking school bus to a chatty chicken, and they need YOUR help to figure out who it is… before time is up! With Josh’s questions and Blue’s sound clues, the listener will lean in to unravel the guest’s secret identity as excitement builds to the big reveal!

Unlock This (Honest History)

Join Anna, Leo, & Percy on adventures through the past and learn about fun, important stories that will inspire kids to make a positive impact on the future. Each episode explores people, places, and events from around the globe for an unforgettable, kid-friendly educational experience. Created by Honest History ® for kids of all ages (and their grownups, too).

The Adventures of Power Dog in Dogland

This fantastical story podcast for kids, families, and dog lovers about sweet dogs on a planet called Dogland is written by a mother and kid team that loves silly, fun, and meaningful adventures. We like to explore how to nurture and grow great self-esteem, manage big feelings, and what it means to find and support a sense of true belonging. Come visit Licktopolis and Question Mark Mountain, and stay for the jokes, mindfulness-based problem-solving techniques, and delicious Dogland bananas that open when you boop them with your nose.

What's Poppin' Penny?

Featured Podcasts

Koala Moon

It’s back-to-school season on Koala Moon! Abbe and her team of writers will be highlighting their best-ever back-to-school bedtime stories, alongside brand-new episodes designed to ease the transition into term time - for kids and parents alike. After all, without good sleep, a change in routine can bring anxiety, stress, and overtired arguments.

The season kicks off on August 11th with A New Year in Kookaburra Kindie, a gentle, supportive story about Cuddle the Puggle (a baby platypus) navigating her first day in a new class. With a new teacher and the arrival of a new student - Buttons the badger, who is neurodivergent - Cuddle learns how small adjustments can help others thrive in their own way.

On August 14th, Isla & The World’s Best Teacher offers a warm celebration of everything wonderful about school and the special role teachers play.

Then on August 18th, Back to School with Prickles the Hedgehog explores the emotional side of school preparation. When Prickles goes shopping for supplies, he feels a twisty-turn feeling in his tummy. With gentle help from his mum, he learns that he's just nervous - and that a few soothing breaths and comforting thoughts can make all the difference.

These bedtime stories are created to support children emotionally and practically as they return to school routines. They offer relatable characters, emotional validation, and mindful reframing to help ease nighttime anxiety. This time of year can be especially challenging for sleep, as children face changes they may not yet be able to express. Koala Moon’s cozy, comforting audio helps make bedtime a supportive ritual, while offering stories that help children feel seen, soothed, and excited about the new year ahead.
