Pinna and ABC Commercial partner to release audio series

Press Release ·

School’s back in session and parents are seeking engaging ways to keep them off screens when they get home from school. Pinna, the leader in kids and family audio entertainment and a division of Realm, is thrilled to announce three popular Australian Broadcasting Corporation Kids shows are being added to its extensive library.

Starting September 30th, children can dive into the thrilling adventures of Dino Dome, the imaginative fun of Story Salad, and the soothing explorations of Soundwalks on the Pinna app and Apple Podcasts channel.

Dino Dome brings prehistoric excitement to life as monstrous meat-eaters, humble herbivores, and stealthy scavengers compete in the greatest race of all time. The ever-changing landscapes—from deserts and volcanoes to the deep sea and suburban streets—ensure an action-packed Mesozoic mash-up of science fact and fiction, making for a perfect blend of education and entertainment.

Story Salad is an improv storytelling show that delights young listeners with its unpredictable narratives. Hosted by Matt from Play School and a special storyteller friend, the show spins whimsical tales from three random words, creating a fresh, wacky story on the spot each time. Whether it’s a teddy, the color orange, and a castle, or a toilet, guitar, and a cat, kids are in for a surprising and hilarious storytelling experience.

Soundwalks offers children a chance to explore rich audio landscapes and guided relaxations. Using the soothing sounds of Australian nature, Soundwalks helps kids connect with their feelings, manage stress, find joy, and prepare for their day. Each episode is a journey through sound, promoting mindfulness and emotional well-being.

“I’m so excited to bring ABC Kids’ engaging and educational content to Pinna subscribers, ” said Molly Barton, CEO and Co-Founder of Realm. “Australian content has been on the minds of kids and families around the world recently thanks to everyone’s favorite family of blue heelers, so we’re looking forward to introducing them to even more with these delightful series from The Australian Broadcasting Corporation. ”
