KidsPod Co., a tech start-up, has launched the KidsPod mobile app, a podcast platform designed for children aged 3-13. Developed in partnership with kids’ tech expert Dubit Limited, the app offers over 300 kids’ podcasts in a visual, intuitive, and safe manner. The founders of KidsPod were motivated by the lack of accessibility and discoverability in the kids’ genre.
The app offers both free and paid subscription options, with additional features available for paid subscribers. KidsPod also aims to contribute to the growth of the kids’ genre and explore responsible advertising opportunities. The app is available for download on iOS and Android devices, and the company encourages podcast submissions for inclusion on the platform.
“Just like adults, kids like to multitask while they listen,” said co-founder and Head of Content Rachel Lacy. “Podcast creators are already publishing coloring pages and activities on their websites, but that’s one more thing a child can’t safely access on their own. While we fell in love with the screen-free nature of audio entertainment, making podcasts more interactive helps audio compete with streaming and gaming when kids do have a device in hand.”
