Storytime With Dad is a children’s podcast where timeless tales meet the kind of wisdom only a dad can deliver. Made for kids ages 3 to 8 (but loved by the whole family!) every episode wraps an imaginative, original, or classic story around a gentle life lesson. Their little ears will hear about many things like: what it means to be kind, confident, how to set boundaries, how to be a good friend, and how to make good choices safely.
Expect magical guardians, silly mishaps, brave little heroes, and just enough mischief to make everyone giggle. When the story’s done, Dad pulls up a chair for a few minutes of warm, down-to-earth advice. It’s the stuff every kid needs to have passed on with a wink and a whole lot of heart.
Whether it’s bedtime, a long car ride, or a quiet afternoon, these stories are made for family listening. Cozy up, press play, and let this dad’s storytelling become your favorite part of the day.
Listers are also encouraged to participate in the storytelling! Email ideas and requests to Dad and he’ll make a story out of them, including a shoutout at the end of the episode.
New episodes bi-weekly. Fatherly tales for kids, families, and anyone who still loves a good story!
