    Excessive ads, and some really awkward/stiff wording in stories. My kid likes it sometimes but I don't enjoy listening.

    FIND THE PINK๐Ÿ’–
    My daughter Kenslie Kay got tears in her eyes (and so did I) listening to the story Lucy brought to life with her requests! We were so thrilled and grateful to have received it! She is already wondering if she can request another! This is hands down our favorite and most listened podcast! Such unique and kid friendly stories that never get dull no matter how many times we may listen!! Thank you!! โ˜บ๏ธ
  • Alee2ic
    Wonderful kids podcast
    My daughter started listening to this podcast since she was 4 and now she is 6. She has this in the background throughout the day and itโ€™s a great road trip tool for parents!

    My 6 year old wants to listen to his podcast all the time. He has a premium membership he got for his birthday and LOVED getting to request a story. Keep doing what youโ€™re doing!
  • Ads inappropriate for kids
    Ads should be kid appropriate
    My kids love to listen to the stories! But there are repeated ads for casinos, which I donโ€™t believe should be for a kid podcast.

    Alcohol Ads???
    Unsubscribing because although my daughters love this podcast, the ads recently became so inappropriate. My oldest asked why the guy keeps saying cocktails and when I came to listen it was a super long ad for alcohol. This isnโ€™t the first time this has happened. Know your audience. This is gross

    Amazing Job!
    My kids love Short Stories for Kids!! You can tell each story is thoughtfully crafted and the creator puts so much work into the episodes. My kids LOVED having a story including all of them. They wanted to be a mermaid, a ninja AND a dragon which is not easy to put together in one story! Bedtime is more fun and much easier with these stories!!

    Wonderful
    My daughter started listening to this at age 6 and at age 7, we decided to gift her the Premium Membership for her Birthday as she had been asking us it. Sheโ€™s so happy to listen to the premium shows and I love it being interruption free. She ADORES this show and asks for it when she needs quiet time. Often at breakfast, in the car, while she is drawing, sometimes at the end of the day. The stories are beyond creative and I appreciate the verbiage that is being introduced to her vocabulary while sheโ€™s listening. Be prepared for this to be added to your everyday podcasts! Just wonderful.
