For the humans in charge

You’ll hear every episode
four hundred times.

We wrote them accordingly. Stories for Robots is built for listening together. Your kids get funny robots and stories wilder than anything on a screen. You get actual classic literature, zero ads, and jokes written to land twice: once at kid height, once over their heads.

Fair questions, straight answers

What age is this for?

Built for ages 5–11, designed for listening together. The jokes work on two levels, so the grown-ups are having a good time too.

Is it screen-free?

Completely. It's audio-only: no videos, no app, no account, no screen anywhere. Families use it for quiet time, bedtime wind-downs, and long car rides. Kids stare out the window and imagine the whole thing themselves; that's the point.

The original fairy tales are dark. How do you handle that?

Honestly, but with a light touch. The strange and shadowy parts are why these stories lasted 200 years. We keep them, and the robots' comic reactions give kids a safe way to process them. No gore, no cruelty played straight, nothing designed to keep anyone up at night. Think “deliciously spooky,” not scary.

Is it free?

Yes. All of Season 1 is free on every podcast app. If your family loves it, there will eventually be ways to support the show. But the stories are free, full stop.

Are there ads?

No ads targeted at children, ever. We follow COPPA rules and think advertising to kids is creepy anyway. The robots agree.

Is it actually educational?

Sneakily. Each episode is a real work of classic literature (Andersen, the Brothers Grimm, One Thousand and One Nights) with the history and authorship woven in. Kids finish knowing where the stories actually came from, and every episode page here has discussion questions for afterward.

What data do you collect about my kid?

None. This site has no accounts, no comments, no tracking cookies, and the email list is for parents only. See our privacy page for the whole (short) story.
