Questions parents ask

What age is Stories Podcast for?

PodFocus lists it for ages 3 to 7. Ranges overlap on purpose: where a child lands inside one depends more on the child than on the number.

How long are Stories Podcast episodes?

Episodes run about 20 minutes, most between 17 and 25 minutes. About the length of a school run or a bath.

Is Stories Podcast still making new episodes?

Yes. New episodes come out about once a week; the latest was released on 16 October 2026. The feed lists 828 episodes going back to 2014, 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 Stories Podcast and nothing else?

Add Stories Podcast 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.
