Kids aren’t only streaming their favorite shows or scrolling on social media, they are also streaming and watching podcasts. Edison Podcast Metrics™ asks weekly podcast consumers if their children also listen to or watch podcasts and what titles those young audiences engaged with in the past week
Back in 2024, we released the Top Five Kids Podcasts. Now, for the first time ever, we’re releasing the 2025 Top Ten Kids Podcasts for people 12 and under.
The Top Ten Kids Podcasts Among Kids 12 and Under are:
- Wow in the World

As with many older podcast listeners, kids are drawn to shows that feature immersive stories and help them learn new and interesting things. The titles listed in the graphic above are already engaging with the next generation of spoken-word audio consumers, helping to solidify podcasts into their audio listening habits.
