My kids are growing up between four languages: French with mom, Hebrew with dad, Dutch outside, and English as a family, so learning new things can be a linguistic adventure! They’re just hitting that stage of endless curiosity, and I really want to encourage all the “why?” questions. But I’m far from knowing everything, and I don’t want every question to lead to another YouTube video and definitely not to an open discussion with an AI chatbot. So I built a parent-led way to turn their questions into short audio episodes. It’s called Podcust, you pick a topic, age, language, and length, and it creates a mini episode they can listen to in the car, over breakfast, or while drawing. My wife made them a 5-minute episode in French about what lawyers do. I’ve been using it to help them build Hebrew vocabulary through episodes about the solar system. We’ve also made plenty of Dutch episodes for the more complicated questions they bring home. Anyway, it started as something for our family, but it feels worth sharing with the world. It’s live now as a web app. If parents find it useful, I’ll invest in building the mobile app too. New users get 10 free credits when they join, and I’d love feedback from parents, so let me know what you think!
