Our Editor's Take

This is an excellent choice for listeners seeking a high-quality children's storytime podcast. Stories Podcast: A Bedtime Show for Kids of All Ages tells entertaining, cute, and kid-friendly tales.

Each installment of Stories Podcast: A Bedtime Show for Kids of All Ages is different and fun. Children (and parents) will hear tales of bravery, triumph, and silliness. They'll even hear long-adored stories from characters they love, like Winnie the Pooh. There are also original, never-heard-before stories unique to the podcast. And some episodes provide more than entertainment. Many stories teach kids valuable lessons, too. Parents and guardians can count on safe, appropriate storytelling. This podcast guarantees that every episode is suitable for all ages.

Though the podcast is technically a "bedtime" show, it is excellent for any time of the day. Parents can turn on these stories before nap time or bedtime. Or, they can pop them on for a ride in the car. Either way, this podcast is a joy for young children. The episodes are only about 25 minutes long. That means listeners and their children can enjoy short but engaging episodes a few times a day if they like. They are the perfect length to hold young children's attention.

Listeners can start with plenty of archived stories. Each episode tells a tale of its own, so listeners can choose stories at random. Or they can start from the beginning and listen in chronological order. The best news of all is that a new story arrives every week. That means listeners and their children can always look forward to a brand-new tale.
