On January 16, beloved PJ Library and NAPPA and Parent’s Choice Awards-winning podcast Have I Got a Story for You! is set to relaunch with a 10-episode Torah Stories drop. These stories, which illuminate the morals and messages of Bible characters from a Jewish perspective, will help bring to life Jewish traditions, culture, and history for kids ages 5+.
With little time to scrupulously wade through podcast content, parents need trusted brands to turn to so they know their children will be entertained by age-appropriate, values aligned stories. PJ Library, which has been sending beloved Jewish books straight to families’ mailboxes since 2005, brings a household name and parent-approved themes to their little ones.
“When we launched our three kid story podcasts in 2019, we knew we had the opportunity to fill a gap,” says Alli Thresher, Director of Digital Content for PJ Library. “There was plenty of Bible storytelling, but very little from a Jewish perspective, and even less that could help break down the sometimes complicated stories of our tradition for young listeners,” they continued.
“Audio, as a medium, provides a totally different avenue to start bringing those stories to kids. And because their parents know us and love us, they can hit ‘play’ without having to do too much extra vetting.”
Have I Got a Story for You! features a single narrator who tells the tales of Moses, Ruth, Deborah, Aaron, Rebekah, the tower of Babel, and more, in a calm format appropriate for bedtime, naptime, playtime, or car listening. It joins PJ Library Presents’ two other magical, top-rated Webby Award-honored family podcasts, Beyond the Bookcase and Afternoons with Mimi, which bring Jewish traditions, culture, holidays, and values to life for kids of all ages.
Tune into the Have I Got a Story for You! wherever you get your podcasts and look out for the new episodes dropping Jan 16. On the go or at home, now you can bring Jewish stories everywhere.
