Dad’s Bedtime Stories — Kids & Family
Dad’s Bedtime Stories

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…

Show notes

In reality, this episode was written by Chat GPT and I together. I plugged in some ideas and changed some details, while AI did the lion's share. If your child has some topics they want in the next sleep visualization, send them my way. If people like them, perhaps we will make it a weekly feature. Now available anywhere you get your podcasts.

If you like an episode, it goes a long way to share it on social media. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100087924908464 Write to me at dad.bedtimestories@gmail.com About The Podcast: Kids won’t sleep? Want some time to yourself? This is how to make it happen! I make these bedtime stories up for my own children every night, so I figured I would record them. They are designed to give your child a simple, but somewhat interesting story to listen to. They are first person stories so kids can imagine themselves in the character’s shoes. They are mostly science fiction and fantasy based, because that’s what my kids like. Each episode is a 10-15 minute story followed by white noise to drown out distractions. The character always ends up back in bed, doing a short mindful relaxation exercise to help them off to sleep (if they aren’t there already). Get those kids to sleep! Most episodes revolve around a kid with a magical spaceship that can transform into anything. He eventually finds a shapeshifting alien dog named changer, and they go on all kinds of adventures, both on earth, and far beyond. There are dinosaurs, dragons, magic, and lots and lots of robots!

Throwback Episode - Changer Goes to School Apr 13, 2023

Show notes

I did't quite get to making my regular episode today, but I plan to put one out tomorrow night.

Sleep Visualization #3 (AI assisted - try it out) Apr 07, 2023

Show notes

This is another one of my sleep visualizations. We step away from the world of spaceship, and I create a set of relaxing things to imagine while your little ones fall asleep. Full disclosure, just like the main character in the series often gets by with a little help from his friend "Spaceship," I wrote this one with the assistance of chat GPT. I was playing around with it tonight, and was amazed at its abilities. It is a little bit of AI, and a little bit of Martin. Let me know what you think! Now available anywhere you get your podcasts.
