Looking for a podcast the whole family can enjoy?
Premiering May 15th is “Nickelodeon’s Goodnight Bedtime Stories.” This 20-episode series features a dream team of beloved Nick Jr. characters, including Dora and Boots from “Dora the Explorer,” Skye and Everest from “PAW Patrol,” and Blaze, Crusher, Pickle, and Gabby from “Blaze and the Monster Machines.” Drift off to dreamland with gentle stories from these iconic characters.
Ready for some playful problem-solving?
Don’t miss “Let’s Guess Who with Josh & Blue” (launching May 16th)! This 10-episode series transforms Josh and Blue into a dynamic interview/game show duo. Listen as they ask questions and use sound clues to guide listeners through a guessing game that will reveal the identity of a mystery guest.
The first two episodes of each new podcast will launch simultaneously worldwide on platforms like Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, and Spotify. New episodes will follow weekly, keeping the fun going for weeks to come.
This exciting launch marks a significant expansion for Nick Jr. podcasts. Previously, only one preschool podcast, “Story Time with Josh & Blue,” graced the airwaves. However, the show’s immense popularity – it has amassed a loyal and sizable audience – clearly demonstrated the demand for such content.
“We wanted to build on that success and bring more episodes to our devoted listeners,” says Alex Reeds, SVP of growth and operations for Nickelodeon Digital and Unscripted Studio.
Looking ahead, Nick Jr. promises even more engaging content for preschoolers. “We see a wealth of opportunities where our characters, stories, and parents’ needs can intersect throughout their busy days (and nights),” Reeds adds. “While the podcast landscape has seen significant changes in recent times, we believe there’s immense potential to connect with existing fans and build new audiences in this thriving space for families and kids.”
