Our Goals and Vision

Our mission is to tell enthralling stories. We will produce engaging, inclusive, family-friendly, scripted audio podcasts that are not only fun and entertaining, but positive and thematically driven. KidPod is next wave family entertainment that eschews out-dated elements that lurk in some classic stories, inspires curiosity, and expands imagination and the audience’s sense of wonder.

Who We Are

We are storytellers and producers with years of experience with the biggest entertainment brands in the world.

We are children at heart, with children. We are families. Like you, always searching for imaginative stories to share together.

While there were over 250,000 podcasts produced in 2018, there exists a largely underserved family market for high-quality storytelling podcasts. Our goal is to fill that void, one episode at a time.
