  • STORIES FOR KIDS
  • UPDATED DAILY

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...

    8H AGO

    The Ring Guardians - Ron - A Bedtime Adventure

    When Elliot Tusk’s “HelperBots” glitch and begin politely abducting humans to a mysterious Facility, an ancient Wizards Council releases magical Rings that choose kid guardians and grant superpowers to fight back. Ron is nearly “relocated” by a HelperBot, until time freezes, a Ring chooses him, and he becomes the first Guardian. He learns to fly, smashes through waves of overly polite robots, and saves a school bus full of kids… but the Facility notices him.

    An Announcement regarding Ads - plus a related story

    I just wanted a way for parents to know that some of you have reached out about ads they did not think should be on a kids and family podcast. In all cases - I agree. I have turned them off on my end while we figure out how to properly block unwanted ads. Please let me know if you get any of concern.  Update: Ads were turned back on after blocking lots of ad categories.  Thank you for your understanding.  Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/dad-s-bedtime-stories--6907147/support.
