Audible Unveils 'Sesame Street' Podcast

Featuring interactive games, music and jokes, the podcast debuts Oct. 15.

Audible and nonprofit educational organization Sesame Workshop unveiled on Wednesday an original Sesame Street podcast for kids and families.

Hosted by Sesame Street character Foley, the podcast will feature visits from familiar faces from the children's series such as Elmo, Big Bird and Cookie Monster, and include interactive games, music and jokes.

Each episode will be 15-minutes in length and center around a pre-school related topic, such as learning the alphabet.

"Sesame Workshop has been one of the most respected names in family entertainment for over 50 years, and we’re honored to bring this unique Sesame Street podcast to listeners,” said Rachel Ghiazza, executive vp, head of US content at Audible, in a statement.

"Audible offers immersive audio entertainment for a wide array of listeners, and we’re thrilled to expand our children’s content with this exceptional release. The Sesame Street Podcast with Foley & Friends delivers what parents need most now: educational entertainment that little ones will love, guaranteed."

The Sesame Street Podcast With Foley & Friends drops on Oct. 15, releasing episodes on Tuesdays and Thursdays exclusively on Audible.

Last year, the beloved children's series announced a move to HBO Max for its 51st season, a deal that includes five new seasons of the show.
