About this list
If we're being honest, this category encompasses more than just a genre. It's got family-friendly fantasy, multi-voice immersive podcasts, hilarious (and more serious) history. It's got issue-driven fiction; it's got nostalgia. And above all else, it's a category that should bring joy to listeners of all ages, while fostering a life-long love of story. We ask a lot from kids these days, and the stories they listen to need to do a lot of heavy lifting. We believe this year's top picks meet that bar. Whether you have family road trips in your near future or cozy nights in perfect for listening, we hope these selections will become the perennial favorites that your family will enjoy for years to come.-
