Dad's Bedtime Stories

Bedtime Stories For Kids

The podcast that turns listener ideas into engaging bedtime stories. I started to make these for my own children when they couldn’t sleep. Play them for your kids. Have them imagine that they are the main character while they lay in bed with their eyes closed. Once the 15 -30 minute story is over, the episode transitions into relaxing music to reduce distractions, and to allow you to escape from their bedroom and get some well-deserved alone time. Most are about science fiction and fantasy. Spaceships, dinosaurs, dragons, magic, and whatever else my kids like.
