What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Not an expert or anything, but my (4-5 y/o) son and I had the greatest year ever listening to all the Noodle Loaf episodes. No joke, one of my fondest memories as a father is the joy we shared listening to the songs and laughing along to the episodes. You can tell how much love and talent was put into this, thanks Dan and fam!

I wasn’t sure my 2.5 yo was old enough for this, but she was hooked after the very first episode I played for her. She loves the Name That Sound segment and the songs about the lonely t-Rex and the donkey farm. Some of the stuff is a bit advanced for her, but she’s learning and listening the whole time.

I have worked as a music educator, and I was thrilled to find this for my own 4 year old. Through silliness and fun, he is practicing rhythm, listening skills, pitch matching, and lyric play (which of course also fosters his literacy skills). He is also hearing themes of inclusivity reinforced in natural ways.

Super smart and fun (and often funny) songs! Perfect length for kids’ attention span! Doodles and art appreciation with music! Lots of learning about rhythm and rhyming and improvisation! Inclusivity and empathy and caring about the world around us in ways kids can start to understand! My six year old and I love this podcast. A must-follow for kids and grown growns alike.

My daughter and I discovered this podcast during the pandemic. In December of 2020, we drove from Boston to Los Angeles to move my parents with us. Noodle Loaf saved us and I will forever be grateful. It makes me sad that Dan dropped this podcast without warning. For the past few years he makes an episode when he needs to promote his work. I get it but little kids don’t. My daughter, who is autistic, is eight years old and is always asking for new episodes. I was even a Patreon subscriber but stopped when Dan fell off the face of the earth. Dan doesn’t owe his fans anything but a nice goodbye.
