Once Upon a Pod is designed to make it easy for kids to find something great to listen to, while also giving parents more peace of mind.
Whatever your kid is into, there's a show for it.
Some love dinosaurs. Some want stories about space. Some can't get enough of mysteries, while others would rather stay far away from anything remotely spooky.
When you create an account, you'll tell Once Upon a Pod a little about your child — their age, interests, and what they like to listen to. We'll use that information to help them discover shows that are a good fit.
And because I personally listen to and curate every podcast on the app, recommendations aren't just based on what happens to be popular. They're shows I've actually listened to and chosen to include.
Give kids freedom while keeping parents in control.
One of the best things about podcasts is that kids can explore them independently and discover all new interests, but it can be tricky to make sure they're exploring the right ones.
Once Upon a Pod is designed to give you both.
Shows are organized by age and category, and parents can decide what their child has access to. You can hide individual shows or entire categories that aren't right for your child.
-
Don't want your seven-year-old finding the shows meant for older kids?
Hide them.
-
Your child doesn't like scary stories?
Easily make that category disappear.
Once you've set things up, your child can explore without you having to worry about what they're going to stumble across next.
A podcast player kids actually want to use
Once Upon a Pod isn't designed like an adult podcast app shrunk down for kids.
Kids get a colorful, visual way to explore podcasts and discover shows they might never have found on their own. They can customize their Podling companion and even choose the background color of their app.
The goal is simple: let kids take the lead in discovering what they love.
A special place for bedtime
In the evening, Once Upon a Pod can invite your child to start winding down. If they're ready, they'll be taken to a special bedtime section filled with calming nighttime podcasts and playlists designed for sleep.
A whole world of great listening is almost here.
Once Upon a Pod makes it easy for kids to discover podcasts they'll love, with age-appropriate shows and parental controls that give you peace of mind.
