The Podcast Alternative
Posted by Jen on Wednesday Dec 9, 2009
TV time is a sensitive subject in our house. The kids love it, but the parents feel the boob tube will suck the life out of our children. One alternative that we both agree on, is the podcast. For many of our favorite shows, there is a podcast version that goes “behind the scenes” or takes clips from the show and feeds an audio version to subscribers. Some great choices on iTunes are:
- StoryNory: Stories for Kids
- The Sesame Street Podcast
- Pinky Dinky Doo Podcast
- The Sherlock Holmes Adventures Podcast
To find others, open iTunes, choose the PODCAST tab and choose KIDS AND FAMILY from the Podcast dropdown menu. Burn to a disc to play on your CD player or download to your iPod.
Play the podcast, set your child up with some crayons and paper, and watch them relax and listen to some familiar voices and stories.
