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.
Every show on SoundCarrot is tagged by age, so you're never guessing what's suitable.
Pick the question word your kids can't stop asking, and jump into episodes that start with it.
These are the latest episodes added to SoundCarrot, but be careful, many of these are serialised shows so jumping in at episode 5, for example, could confuse matters.
We'd recommend starting with the first episode of your show of choice, and if you like it, listening from there.

Straight answers about what SoundCarrot is, what it isn't, and how the carrot gets made.
SoundCarrot is a free directory of kids' podcasts, run by a dad and his kids. Every show is listened to and approved by the in-house curators (the kids) before it's added - nothing appears here without their say so.
Completely free, and the site itself has no ads, banners or pop-ups. Some podcasts carry their own sponsor messages inside episodes - that's down to each show's creator, not us.
Every show is tagged as Under 5s, 6-10 or 11 plus, and you can filter by age on the shows page - or start from the age cards right here on the homepage.
The kids listen first. If it holds their attention and it's age-appropriate, it goes in. We also tag every show by topic, country and whether it's a serialised story or a dip-in-anywhere show.
No - everything is browsable and playable without one. A free account adds the nice-to-haves: tracking which episodes you've heard, liking episodes and saving favourite shows.
Those apps are built for adults, so kids' content is buried and recommendations wander off to who-knows-where. SoundCarrot only contains kid-approved shows, tells you which ones need to be heard in order, and always points you at episode one.
We made this website primarily for my kids. A few years ago they gained a huge love of podcasts through shows like Finn Caspian, Becoming Mother Nature, Story Pirates and more. They grew environmentally conscious through Earth Rangers and Animal Sound Safari. And their critical thinking came on leaps and bounds thanks to the Big Fib. But finding good shows was hard, adn I could never let my kids loose properly.
SoundCarrot was born as a way to give them a walled garden of curated content, and a way to teach my daughter about writing coding. A lot has changed since then.
Sound Carrot is your source for Family Podcast Discovery. Verified awesome, 0% boring.
Distraction free website, no flashing banners or adverts to steal your attention.
(Some shows do contain their own ads however).
At first I made this site for my kids, but like any dad I got a little over excited. I hope you find it as useful as they do.
Whether you want to listen to them together in the car, or alone in your room - the content is all safe for younger ears.
