A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Update Oct. 31, 2023 A while back we saw that there was finally a new release and we started our subscription again. I do wish that they keep up the series. I know it takes a while write and record and edit…all the stuff that goes into it. But they do take a long time to get the stories out. I am hoping that they update this kid podcast as much as they do the other stories. My kids absolutely love this. Their friend just got diagnosed with a similar disease as Opal and they were able to tell the young girl about this podcast to give her a brighter look. She just went in for surgery and the mom reported that when she was out of surgery they played this since she couldn’t open her eyes and the little girl loved it. So not only is this a great podcast, it’s uplifting other kids fighting real battles. Please continue to make more Opal Watson episodes. This is one of a kind and really can relate with kids it’s not just fantasy or sci-fi but a real look into what it is like with a disability for kids. Update March 10, 2022 My kids have been waiting for the new season to come out and today is March 10th and there is no new season available on here. This isn’t a good look for the podcasting company. This is a great podcast storyline for kids. My boys enjoy this as well, but my daughter absolutely loves it. We finished the first season and hope there are more to come. That’s the only thing with most of the children’s podcasts is that they are not weekly like other popular adult podcasts. We stopped our subscription to these until they release another season. So the storylines are great but the lack of episodes is not worth paying a subscription for.

My kids and I have loved listening to this while in the car. Many times we have just sat in a parking lot finishing and episode because we are hooked! Please consider making more seasons! We will be listening 😊

This podcast is perfect for my little super sleuths. I I actually enjoy listening to it too. Please make more episodes! My kids ask every single day when we will get more!

This is a great podcast! But since you have to subscribe I listen to it on another app it’s called Pinna you will probably have to subscribe to it but there are millions of podcasts from 2-14 very good and you should definitely trie it. It has been great for my family 😊😊😊 1-26-2022
