About this listen

Dad’s Bedtime Stories is the family-friendly podcast that turns listener ideas into immersive bedtime adventures kids (and parents) can enjoy together.

I originally created these stories for my own children on nights when they couldn’t fall asleep. What started as a simple bedtime ritual has grown into a world of imagination designed to help families wind down together at the end of the day.

Play an episode for your kids and encourage them to imagine they are the hero of the story — exploring distant planets, training dragons, discovering magic, or traveling through space — all while lying safely in bed with their eyes closed.

Each 15–30 minute adventure is filled with science fiction and fantasy themes kids love: spaceships, dinosaurs, dragons, wizards, and whatever wild idea we dream up next. The stories are exciting, creative, and always safe for young listeners.

When the adventure ends, the episode gently transitions into calming music to reduce distractions and help your child...Copyright 2022 All rights reserved.

  • Sully's Super Powered Farts and the Spider Dragon - A Bedtime Story
    Feb 26 2026

    On her tenth birthday, Sully finally discovers her superpower… but it’s not exactly what she was hoping for. After running into the forest in embarrassment, she meets a dragon named Avett who’s just as disappointed with his own unusual abilities — and together they discover that sometimes the weirdest powers are the most powerful of all. When a team of villains attacks that very night, Sully learns that being different might just be her greatest strength. Thank you to Suly and Avett for the suggestion!
