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...

  • The Rainbow Planet and the Grumpy Raindrops - A Bedtime Story

    The Rainbow Planet and the Grumpy Raindrops - A Bedtime Story
    Mar 24 2026
    In Episode 324 of the Spaceship series, we head to a planet of rain, sun, and rainbows! The rainbow people are able to use their imagination to form rainbow energy into almost anything they can imagine, but the raindrop people grow jealous. The raindrops attempt to take over the rainbow area and destroy it. Can you stop them? Yes. Yes you can. Thank you to Remi for the suggestion.

    About The Spaceship Series - You are a kid with a magical spaceship that can transform into anything. You also have a dog named changer that can change into just about any animal.
