I usually go through a checklist when preparing to run with the kids- snacks and water bottles loaded into the stroller pockets, books for kids to browse through, and a Bluetooth speaker stashed in the cupholder. One question I ask the kids before we step off: What shall we listen to? We have our favorite Disney and Kidz Bop play lists. Sometimes I get lucky and the kids let me choose my music (my SW friends all know about my love for Coldplay). Most times, my kids will ask to listen to a podcast—a handful of podcasts will entertain the kids and I for quite a few miles. Below is a list of some of our favorites:
Story Pirates Podcast
Story Pirates Podcast is one of our favorites. While exercising, driving around town running errands, or during long road trips, this podcast is usually playing in the background. Each episode of Story Pirates centers around stories sent from children. The Story Pirates then create a fun story and catchy jingle based on the story. All 8 Unicorns, Marshmallow Shooter Camp, and Rosie the Rose are a few favorites.
Best Whatever Ever
Along the same line as Story Pirates, Best Whatever Ever focuses on questions submitted by kids, and is presented by a dad and his kids—some silly, some serious. Ira (the dad) and his 2 children (referred to in the podcast as his bosses), discuss the question/s sent by fans, then they create stories as a family.
Reading Bug Adventures
Produced by a family-owned bookstore in California, each show features a children's book with the reading bug transporting the listener to the time-period or setting based on the books in the book bag. We love the historical background added in each episode.
Stories Podcast
Your children will love this podcast if they are a fan of fairytales, folklore and classic stories. The storyteller is lively and keeps the audience engaged.
R.L. Stine’s Story Club
I was a big fan of the Goosebumps series when I was in grade school. This podcast is comprised of spooky stories written or inspired by R.L. Stine. Save this podcast for the older crowd (7+).
Many SW chapters recently had their Fall Kickoff Events, if anyone is wondering how to keep the little ones entertained, the above podcasts will surely do the job!
Happy Running,
