Once Upon a Playtime
The Genius of Play™
“Once Upon a Playtime” is a podcast made for parents and kids, about the serious value of playing around. Each episode features a well-known personality or celebrity who shares how a toy or play experience from their childhood shaped them. A hybrid between Dr. Seuss' whimsical, narrator-driven storytelling and Pixar's "movies for kids with messages for grown-ups", this podcast presents a rare joint listening opportunity for parents and their kids. Produced by FRQNCY Media and made possible by a generous grant from The Toy Foundation.

Everybody loves a good game of “Simon Says”. Simon says…do a silly dance! Simon says…spin in a circle as fast as you can! Listen to this episode! Oops – I didn’t say, “Simon says.” However, you should listen to this episode anyway. In the season finale of “Once Upon a Playtime,” we’ll learn how author and motivational speaker Simon Sinek embraced his nerdiness, the difference between supporting play and encouraging play, and how playing make-believe helps kids learn problem-solving skills.
