Just in time for Father’s Day this year, LiSTNR has gathered together some famous dads, uncles, and pops to read their favourite bedtime stories for kids in a new podcast series called Dadtime Story Collection.

Among the star line up is Dave ‘Hughesy’ Hughes who will read How (Not) To Annoy Dad, Triple M rugby commentator Wendell Sailor reading Pig the Winner, and children’s author and one half of podcast duo Hamish & Andy, Andy Lee, reading his own Do Not Open This Book.

Hughesy says, “I chose this book because it resonates with dads. It’s therapy more than anything!”

The initial 10 episodes also feature Ed Kavalee reading Daddy’s Embarrassing Exploding Farty Shorts, Sean Szeps reading Miss Understood, and Adam Denston reading Thelma The Unicorn.

Szeps says, “I chose to read Miss Understood because it’s a book that my children own and adore. It nails the children’s book trifecta: great illustrations, great rhymes, great message. What more could a parent ask for?”

Ed Kavalee says, “My four-year son wrote the fart book with me so we can fart at home and call it research.”

LiSTNR Parenting and Kids Entertainment Senior Executive Producer, Lorna Clarkson, says, “We are thrilled that so many of our favourite ‘star’ dads and uncles have stepped up to read their favourite bedtime stories for the kids of Australia. We can’t wait to add more dads and stories to the collection, and hope it helps to solve bedtime for parents everywhere!”
