Questions parents ask
What age is Rebel Girls for?
PodFocus lists it for ages 8 to 13. Ranges overlap on purpose: where a child lands inside one depends more on the child than on the number.
How long are Rebel Girls episodes?
Episodes run about 12 minutes, most between 9 and 17 minutes. Short enough for a quick car ride or the last few minutes before lights-out.
Is Rebel Girls still making new episodes?
Yes. New episodes come out a few times a week; the latest was released on 22 October 2026. The feed lists 456 episodes going back to 2020, 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 Rebel Girls and nothing else?
Add Rebel Girls 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.
