Let\u2019s look at podcasts that are helping kids look forward to Christmas this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Armchair Adventures<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>has just released the first of its two part Panto special. In the episode host Connie visits a pantomime for the very first time (\u201coh no she hasn\u2019t, oh yes she has etc etc etc.\u201d) The podcasts encourage listeners to use their imaginations, so within the first five minutes you\u2019re transported up a beanstalk, then five minutes later into a television studio. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, The Santa Daily<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>has started up again. Brought to you by his elves and the radio station Fun Kids, each episode features Santa informing listeners how his preparations are coming together, broadcasting from the North Pole. The first episode also featured number crunchers revealing that he will be delivering 1.6 billion presents, making 640 million stops and consuming 130 million litres of milk (me: what about the alcohol?) There\u2019s also an \u201cAsk Santa Anything\u201d feature, although I don\u2019t think he will be revealing what present he has in store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bedtime stories podcast Koko Sleep<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>have festive episodes to help the little ones get to bed. Also listen out for Super Great Kids\u2019 Stories<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>for new and delightful stories on the run up to Christmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
