Three 10-minute episodes a week for kids aged 6 to 12, with a reading coach and a question to bring to dinner.
IN BETA WITH OUR FIRST FAMILIES · NO ADS
Kids used to soak up the world just by being in the room. Newslings gives them that back, in a form they actually want.
Real stories from space, the ocean floor, a stadium or a school across the world. Told plainly, never scary.
Photos, maps and videos for the curious. A reading coach for reading aloud. Quizzes, and progress you can see.
Each episode ends on a Big Question. Ask it at dinner and watch their world get a little wider.
Listen anywhere: at the table, in the car, on the couch.
A real person chooses and edits every story. Hard news gets told gently, with what's being done to help.
Made by a dad who wanted his own kids to know what's going on in the world. Every kid reads along at their own level.
A world bigger than their algorithm. No ads, nothing questionable, up to 4 kids.
Kids aged 6 to 12. Younger kids love listening along; older kids get the most from reading and quizzes. Each child gets their own reading level.
Carefully. A real person chooses every story. Hard topics are explained calmly and briefly, with what people are doing to help, and every episode includes something hopeful.
About 10 minutes, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, all year round. Kids can listen whenever suits your family.
Every episode will stay free to listen to, here, on Spotify and on Apple Podcasts. From January, the plan adds the reading coach, quizzes, Word Jar, story map, points and the note for grown-ups. During the beta, everything is free for invited families.
After a story, your child reads a short part out loud. The coach follows along using your browser's speech recognition and helps with tricky words. We never store recordings, and you can switch it off.
As little as we can: a nickname, an age, and what they listened to and finished. No ads, and we never sell anything. The privacy notice has the details.
Any phone, tablet or laptop with a modern web browser. Nothing to download.
Yes. One plan covers up to 4 kids, each with their own profile, reading level and points.
