Dorktales Storytime Podcast Joins Yoto’s Interactive Audio Platform: Introducing the ‘Hidden Heroes of History’ Collection

Dorktales Storytime, the award-winning indie podcast for children and their families, announces its debut on Yoto, a screen-free interactive audio platform designed to inspire creative play and learning in kids. As part of this collaboration, Yoto has licensed Dorktales’ Hidden Heroes of History collection – 29 captivating stories of unsung heroes who shaped history in extraordinary ways – as part of a Yoto Club membership, which keeps kids entertained anywhere and at any time.

Hosted by Jonathan Cormur and his charming co-host, Mr. Reginald T. Hedgehog (voiced by Cormur), Dorktales Storytime is celebrated for its blend of reimagined fairytales and fables with a modern twist, and history stories that inspire curiosity and acceptance. The podcast, praised by Common Sense Media for its quality and family-friendly content, engages young listeners through imaginative storytelling with social-emotional themes.

Hidden Heroes of History: Celebrating the Unsung Trailblazers

Dorktales’ Hidden Heroes of History collection brings to life the stories of remarkable individuals who have left their mark in STEAM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics). These unsung heroes’ extraordinary achievements often remain under appreciated, but through Dorktales Storytime’s insightful storytelling, listeners of all ages learn about their courage, perseverance, and impact on the world.

Beginning today, Yoto families can explore this collection of 29 stories through Yoto Club, which offers families endless audio that they can access whenever and wherever they are, including work from podcast creators like Dorktales Storytime.

“We are thrilled to partner with Yoto to bring Dorktales Storytime and our Hidden Heroes of History collection to an even wider audience,” says Jonathan Cormur, co-creator and host of Dorktales Storytime. “Our stories encourage children to be the heroes of their own stories, and now, through Yoto’s innovative platform, we can inspire a whole new generation of curious minds.”
