Hi everybody:
First off, I'm super excited that the Product Hunt community likes what we're up to, and we'd love all the feedback you're willing to give. We very much want to differentiate Tales Untold from kids audiobooks by making it more of a living thing, like podcasts. That means serialized stories that are ongoing and continue to develop over time. But that also means responding to our listeners interests and input. So if there's anything you'd like your kids to hear–themes, topic areas, characters, anything–just let us know. https://talesuntold.com/about/co...
I'm also excited to explain more about what we're up to, but it's morning here in CA and I have to take my son to school :) I'll be back on in a bit to blabber on some more.
Cheers,
Nick
Hi @saadshamim. The app is optimized for iPad, in so much as the images are optimized for iPad display. Are you running into issues with that, or do you mean you'd prefer an iPad-specific experience? Cheers, Nick.
Thanks again everybody for checking us out today. I thought it might be worthwhile to give a brief explanation of what we’re trying to do with Tales Untold.
I launched Tales Untold Media after coming to three main realizations:
1. Most contented for little kids is some combination of overwhelming, uninspired, or plain old insipid.
I figured that if we developed a platform featuring kids entertainment that respects the intelligence of all our listeners–kids and parents–there would be a welcoming audience for that.
2. Listening is good for kids.
There are new studies showing that listening–rather than watching a video or engaging with a visual-focused app–improves language skills and develops the brain in some unique ways. (Hit me up if you're interested in that info. Really interesting stuff.) So even if the content is primarily entertainment, they’re still learning and benefiting from it.
3. Adults love podcasts; why not kids?
Today’s young children don’t share the same experience their parents and grandparents had with radio. This is an opportunity to delight them with an experience that actively engages their imagination. And serializing the storytelling means that the characters can grow and develop along with our audience.
Anyway, we’re just getting started and each of our tales is finding its voice. But hopefully we’re on the right track. Please take a listen and let us know your thoughts.
Thanks again,
Nick
