Hey, hey, hey! It’s Ginni Saraswati here with your daily dose of Podnews. Did you know there was a time before Happy Meals? Yes, it’s true. Those were the culinary dark ages for kids everywhere…forced to stare at lackluster plates, pushing peas around their plates with forks, and no toy rewards tucked into the depths of playful boxes. Boooooring…..Well, it seems podcasting too, has finally begun packaging audio for young ears. In the past 2 years, podcasts in the kids and family category have seen a 20 percent increase in listenership according to Edison Research. The famous PBS Cartoon Arthur ended a 25-year run in February, but was quickly scooped up and resurrected as a podcast by Gen-Z Media this year. The Ambie’s added, for the first time, an award category for Best Kid’s Podcast, which featured kid-approved favorites Nice to Meet You and The Big Fib. Heavy hitter studios like Warner Bros, Spotify, and Wondery are also growing their younger audiences with youth-oriented shows. So, if you’re looking for creative ways to entertain the kiddos but you’d prefer to skip the screentime, opt for fine-tuning their listening skills with a few family-friendly podcasts.For this week, that’s all, folks!
