Dad’s Bedtime Stories is the family-friendly podcast that turns listener ideas into immersive bedtime adventures kids (and parents) can enjoy together. I originally created these stories for my own children on nights when they couldn’t fall asleep.
What Dad’s Bedtime Stories is recognised for
Binge-worthy
Rated 4.6 or better AND 300+ episodes. Episode count alone says nothing — plenty of shows are long and mediocre — so this is the two together: worth getting into, with somewhere to go.

About Dad’s Bedtime Stories
In the publisher's own words, as they describe the show on its feed.
Dad’s Bedtime Stories is the family-friendly podcast that turns listener ideas into immersive bedtime adventures kids (and parents) can enjoy together. I originally created these stories for my own children on nights when they couldn’t fall asleep. What started as a simple bedtime ritual has grown into a world of imagination designed to help families wind down together at the end of the day. Play an episode for your kids and encourage them to imagine they are the hero of the story — exploring distant planets, training dragons, discovering magic, or traveling through space — all while lying safely in bed with their eyes closed. Each 15–30 minute adventure is filled with science fiction and fantasy themes kids love: spaceships, dinosaurs, dragons, wizards, and whatever wild idea we dream up next. The stories are exciting, creative, and always safe for young listeners. When the adventure ends, the episode gently transitions into calming music to reduce distractions and help your child...
