A father/daughter project that's gotten a little out of hand. We love helping younger listeners find amazing children's podcasts.
At first I made this website for my kids - mostly to resolve the frustration my daughter experienced with mainstream podcast apps and the lack of easily discoverable age appropriate content - now I write the code and they act as curators, with nothing added without their say so.
