With six episodes releasing July 11, the podcast will bring Peppa to the world of audio-first entertainment and encourages families with their preschoolers to embrace life’s adventures.
Audible has announced the new project, Peppa Pig’s Play-A-Long Podcast, starring the favorite preschool series character, as the first release of a podcasting deal between Audible and Hasbro.
Building on the legacy of Peppa Pig, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, the podcast invites listeners into Peppa’s world with six episodes, each spanning 15 minutes. Voiced by Amelie Bea Smith as Peppa Pig, the project features Peppa and her pals in a mix of “fun interactive games, outdoor adventures, and even catchy sing-alongs with her sensational new band, The Piggy-Wigs.”
Peppa Pig's Play-A-Long Podcast provides another medium through which Peppa can inspire confidence and foster development in preschoolers. As a lifelong friend, Peppa encourages kids to explore the world around them, while instilling a powerful confidence to treat every first step as a new adventure.
Themes in the podcast, including “Are We There Yet,” an episode supporting preschoolers on long journeys, and an episode about anger titled “Very Big Feelings,” are designed specifically to help families with preschoolers recognize and navigate their emotions.
“It's been wonderful collaborating with team at Hasbro to bring Peppa's first ever podcast to our audiences, on this special anniversary year for the iconic show,” said Aurelie de Troyer, Head of Regional Content Europe at Audible. “Having Peppa behind the mic at Audible’s London studios was an absolute delight.”
“For 20 years, Peppa has been the first best friend of children around the globe, inspiring them to confidently jump into all of life’s muddy puddles, added Kristin McKay, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Global Brands, Fashion & Preschool at Hasbro. “She’s come to life on screens and in books, along with through engaging toys and live experiences. Now, with Audible, we’re proud to deliver even more ways for fans and families to connect with their favourite piggy with podcasts to bring Peppa wherever they are.”
