Story Spectacular
Angela Ferrari
Ages 4–8StoriesMusic
Original stories and retellings of classics, with colorful music and sound.
Children's-book author/illustrator Angela Ferrari narrates weekly tales — sometimes Cinderella with a twist, sometimes a brand-new caterpillar adventure. Music and sound effects are richer than typical kids podcasts.

Questions parents ask
What age is Story Spectacular for?
PodFocus lists it for ages 4 to 8. Ranges overlap on purpose: where a child lands inside one depends more on the child than on the number.
How long are Story Spectacular episodes?
Episodes run about 12 minutes, most between 8 and 15 minutes. Short enough for a quick car ride or the last few minutes before lights-out.
Is Story Spectacular still making new episodes?
Yes. New episodes come out a few times a week; the latest was released on 23 October 2026. The feed lists 160 episodes going back to 2017, 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 Story Spectacular and nothing else?
Add Story Spectacular 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.
