New Podcasts
Nighttime Nathan
Nighttime Nathan is an imaginative story podcast with original songs woven into every adventure. Perfect for car rides, playtime, quiet time, bedtime wind-downs—or anytime kids want a great story.
Anytime’s a good time for Nighttime. Join Nathan and his best friend Peanut Butter Jim as they zoom across the nighttime universe—meeting silly creatures, helping friends in need, and singing along the way. Each episode features a brand-new world, memorable characters, and original music, all wrapped in imagination, humor, and gentle lessons about kindness, courage, and teamwork. Parents will appreciate the light humor, positive messages, and storytelling they can feel great about sharing.
The Bedtime Scientist Podcast
The Bedtime Scientist is a calm science podcast for curious kids and their grownups, told in one steady, gentle voice. Each episode explores a real scientific wonder like rainbows, butterflies, sleep, volcanoes, deep ocean life, or the stars in a way that is sensory-friendly, low stimulation, and easy to settle into at bedtime. There are no loud sound effects, no chaotic characters, and no fast, jarring energy. Just real science, quiet curiosity, and a soothing listening experience that works especially well for neurodiverse kids and families who want something trustworthy at the end of the day.
The Neighbourhood
No one knows the neighbourhood better than the animals and children. The neighbourhood is a leafy suburb with redbrick houses and gardens of every sort, but it's also a place without boundaries. The narrator (Ciarán Hinds) gives us stories about kindness and bravery children find in themselves. Belonging is never simply about being like others.
The Old Mrs. Moody Show
The Old Mrs. Moody Show follows Old Mrs. Moody and her friend Catbaloo, whose ordinary days together turn extraordinary.
Young Ben Franklin
Before he was Benjamin Franklin, inventor and statesman, he was just Ben, a boy in Colonial Boston with an adventurous spirit, a curious mind...and a penchant for getting into trouble. Meet our most endearing founding father at fourteen, a charming rebel years away from discovering the ageless sayings and brilliant inventions that made him famous. When Ben and his friends stumble upon a mysterious letter leading to a legendary treasure, he'll have to use his wits and bravery to outsmart the cruel British governor of Massachusetts.
