Recently started to play this series to my toddler. Even though she doesn’t understand the story at this stage, I do and am loving it. She however loves the creative voices used.
Fun and enjoyable. Great work!
My son loves this show!
He has moved away from his usual lighthearted listening and now is constantly asking for ‘the spooky podcast’.
I love to listen to this with my Dad before I go to sleep and I love the persons voice who reads it.
Sometimes it’s a little scary although I’m a big girl now. I love the characters and getting excited about the next one to come out.
