Questions parents ask
What age is Six Minutes for?
PodFocus lists it for ages 11 to 14. Ranges overlap on purpose: where a child lands inside one depends more on the child than on the number.
How long are Six Minutes episodes?
Episodes run about 9 minutes, most between 7 and 10 minutes. Short enough for a quick car ride or the last few minutes before lights-out.
Is Six Minutes still making new episodes?
Yes. New episodes come out about once a week; the latest was released on 22 October 2026. The feed lists 392 episodes going back to 2018, so a child who likes it won't run out soon.
Where should we start?
At the first episode. It’s one continuing story, so episodes build on each other.
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 Six Minutes and nothing else?
Add Six Minutes 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.
