Questions parents ask
What age is Ear Snacks Podcast for Kids for?
PodFocus lists it for ages 2 to 4. Ranges overlap on purpose: where a child lands inside one depends more on the child than on the number.
How long are Ear Snacks Podcast for Kids episodes?
Episodes run about 25 minutes, most between 20 and 29 minutes. About the length of a school run or a bath.
Is Ear Snacks Podcast for Kids still making new episodes?
Not right now. The last new episode came out in December 2025, so it may be between seasons. Everything published so far is still there to listen to. The feed lists 95 episodes going back to 2020.
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.
