FROM THE DESK OF JEFF DOLAN
Don't forget about the kids
I remember listening to records when I was a kid. But get this, my favorites?
Clips from movies. Star Wars. Disney. Cartoons.
While I was playing with the physical toy characters, I was listening to them act out their scenes in audio.
It was a powerful way to consume content I don't think we experience much anymore as adults.
Maybe you could argue listening to a golfing podcast while you golf counts, or a knitting podcast while you knit, but it's rare.
This week, from the Flintstones to Dr. Seuss, some top kid brands are moving into the audio format.
It's smart. And parents need all the help they can get. Especially when it involves healthier alternatives to staring at screens.
As podcasters and audiobook authors, even musicians, don't forget about the kids as an audience.
It's a huge one.
And there is never enough quality content for kids.
So whether you are a parent or a podcaster, new podcasts for kids are worth celebrating.

WAVVE DESIGN OF THE WEEK
Lauren and her team at The Podcast Manager Show are doing a great job at layering their Wavve designs/clips into the social apps to leverage the strengths of each side: The strength of the Wavve customized waveforms to each audio and the strength of the native phone apps and their requirements.
By designing a super flexible base video with space on top and bottom, they can adjust for various app overlay titles, icons, descriptions, etc. They can also design a branded look while leaving space for dropping in other elements, from titles and text, to GIFs, to handle/guest tags, to captions, and more. I like it.

Why Podcast Downloads Improve Accessibility Making podcast episodes downloadable is one of the simplest ways to improve accessibility—and listener trust. Downloads allow people to listen offline, use assistive or custom playback tools, and avoid interruptions caused by poor connectivity or data limits. They also support listeners with visual, cognitive, or neurodivergent needs who benefit from predictable, interruption-free playback. While downloads represent a small share of total listens,...
