Best Story Podcasts for Kids
Story podcasts are the biggest category on LittleCast: original fairy tales, TV-show tie-ins, and everything in between. This list rounds up twelve worth adding to a player, with rough age ranges, release schedule, and episode length below so you can match one to your child.
Storynory
One of the original kids' story podcasts, running since 2005, with a huge back catalog of beautifully read fairy tales, classics, and original stories. A good default pick if you just want a deep well of stories to draw from.
What If World
Host Mr. Eric builds full improvised stories out of "what if" questions submitted by real kids. Genuinely kid-driven premise rather than a fixed set of characters and plots.
Molly of Denali
Follows Molly, an Alaska Native girl who helps run her family's trading post, through mystery and adventure episodes. From the PBS KIDS team behind Arthur and Curious George, so production quality is high.
The Arthur Podcast
Arthur Read and his friends from Elwood City tell their favorite adventures in audio form. Familiar to anyone who grew up with the TV show, produced by the same PBS KIDS team.
Greeking Out from National Geographic Kids
Kid-friendly retellings of classic Greek myths, gods, monsters, and heroes, from National Geographic Kids. Backed by a real publishing brand, with companion books if a kid gets hooked.
Flip and Mozi
Two alien travel-bloggers crash-land on Earth and learn what it means to be an "earthling" by meeting different animals along the way. From the Tinkercast team behind Wow in the World, with original music woven in.
Thomas & Friends Storytime
New adventures and origin stories set on the island of Sodor, for kids who already know Thomas and the gang from TV. One of the most recognizable franchises on this list.
The Apple Seed
A long-running storytelling show from BYUradio, featuring professional storytellers rather than a single narrator. Family-listening tone, closer to a live storytelling performance than a produced fiction serial.
Journey with Story
Scottish author Kathleen Pelley narrates fairy tales, bedtime stories, and her own original stories with a calm, Celtic-flavored voice. Consistent, gentle tone across a large catalog.
Camp Monsters
Campfire-style legends about strange creatures spotted in the wild corners of North America, told with real folklore as the source material. Spookier and more atmospheric than most shows on this list, but not gory or graphic.
Julie's Library
Julie Andrews and her daughter Emma Walton Hamilton read their favorite children's books aloud, with sound, music, and the occasional guest author. A read-aloud format rather than original fiction, hosted by a genuinely famous voice.
Rebel Girls: Dream On
Sleepy stories and soundscapes from the Rebel Girls brand, best known for the Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls book series. Calmer and slower-paced than the flagship Rebel Girls show, built for winding down rather than daytime listening.
