Questions parents ask

What age is Bust or Trust for?

PodFocus lists it for ages 8 to 10. Ranges overlap on purpose: where a child lands inside one depends more on the child than on the number.

How long are Bust or Trust episodes?

Episodes run about 21 minutes, most between 18 and 23 minutes. About the length of a school run or a bath.

Is Bust or Trust still making new episodes?

Not right now. The last new episode came out in April 2026, so it may be between seasons. Everything published so far is still there to listen to. The feed lists 130 episodes going back to 2023.

Where should we start?

Anywhere. Try a recent episode, or one about something your child already loves, and if it lands, work back through the older ones.

Can my child listen without Wi-Fi?

In PodFocus, yes. Download episodes at home and they play without a connection, including in the car through CarPlay.

How do I let my child listen to Bust or Trust and nothing else?

Add Bust or Trust in PodFocus. Your child’s library holds only the shows you add, with no recommendations and nothing that plays on into a show you haven’t chosen.
