Today with tonies is being made by award-winning podcast production and promotion company, Mags Creative, and is hosted by Sam Fletcher-Goodwin and Tim Warwood. It is aimed at children aged 4 to 7 with the hope that the informative and playful podcast will be able to keep children off their screens this summer!

Based on the award-winning daily exclusive show (only available to those with a ‘Toniebox’ – an audio player which plays songs and stories when a Tonie character is added to the top of it), Today with tonies is kicking off with 14 ten-minute long episodes packed full of fun, facts, challenges, and jokes.

The podcast covers subjects such as poetry, science, maths, and music and has been made with the support of an educational consultant, taking into account the KS1 and KS2 curriculum.

Polly Evans, Senior Audio Production Manager at tonies says, “Our ‘Today with tonies’ podcast is the ultimate choice for parents seeking enriching, screen-free fun for their kids. It’s a world of wholesome content that sparks curiosity, educates, and delivers endless giggles through engaging games and challenges.”

The podcast contains many interactive challenges such as asking children to find out how many times they can fold a piece of paper, teaching them to use a word from a different language, and playing the “wrong answers only” quiz.

Hannah Russell, Co-founder of Mags Creative, says of the podcast: “As a mother myself I’m so excited to work on a project that widens the pool of safe, secure and screen-free content for kids. And not only that – it’s entertaining too! Mags Creative is all about building communities through audio, and the phenomenal response we’ve had from parents and little listeners shows that this podcast is already doing just that, so we can’t wait to bring this podcast to even more ears.”

Listen to Today with tonies from 9th July on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and other popular podcast apps.
