Questions parents ask
What age is Classics For Kids for?
PodFocus lists it for ages 6 to 12. Ranges overlap on purpose: where a child lands inside one depends more on the child than on the number.
How long are Classics For Kids episodes?
Episodes run about 6 minutes. Short enough for a quick car ride or the last few minutes before lights-out.
Is Classics For Kids still making new episodes?
Yes. New episodes come out about once a month; the latest was released on 18 August 2026. The feed lists 196 episodes going back to 2007, so a child who likes it won't run out soon.
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 Classics For Kids and nothing else?
Add Classics For Kids 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.
