Questions parents ask
What age is KidNuz for?
PodFocus lists it for ages 8 to 14. Ranges overlap on purpose: where a child lands inside one depends more on the child than on the number.
How long are KidNuz episodes?
Episodes run about 9 minutes. Short enough for a quick car ride or the last few minutes before lights-out.
Is KidNuz still making new episodes?
Yes. New episodes come out almost every day; the latest was released on 23 October 2026. The feed lists 1897 episodes going back to 2018, 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 KidNuz and nothing else?
Add KidNuz 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.
