It’s not just children who love stories. They stimulate imagination, promote language development and create shared moments with the family. A real classic amongst children’s podcasts is the Ohrenbär Podcast, which has been delighting children and their grown-ups for many years.
The Ohrenbär Podcast is an offering from ARD, rbb and NDR. New audio stories appear daily, specially written for children and read aloud by well-known speakers. The stories are age-appropriate, imaginative and tackle themes from children’s everyday lives – from friendship and family through to exciting adventures and fantastic worlds. (Apple Podcasts)
What’s special: The episodes are short enough not to overwhelm children, yet exciting enough to invite them to listen attentively.
In recent weeks, young listeners have been able to experience many exciting adventures again:
Dr. Mumpitz is a specialist for the really tricky cases. What does a night watchman do when the night has disappeared? How do you help a magician whose tricks suddenly no longer work? And why does a carp fountain sing? With lots of wit and fantasy, Dr. Mumpitz solves the craziest problems.
The children of class 1a experience their first shared school trip. It’s not just about hiking across Spatzenwarder island, but also about friendship, excitement and the little adventures of school life.
Per receives his grandmother’s old stamp collection. In it he discovers letters from a girl called Ska, written many decades ago in Africa. A story about curiosity, history and the magic of letters that connect generations.
Pon grows up in Asia and witnesses the birth of a rare white elephant. The extraordinary animal is to be given to the king. An exciting story about traditions, responsibility and special friendships.
In a world full of screens and quick stimuli, the ability to listen is becoming increasingly valuable. Audio stories like the Ohrenbär Podcast help children develop this important skill playfully.
When listening, children learn:
to concentrate for longer periods
to better understand spoken language
to expand their vocabulary
to recognise connections
to let their own images emerge in their minds
Unlike with television, children must create the characters, places and plots themselves in their imagination. This particularly promotes creativity and imagination.
Regular listening to stories can have many positive effects:
Children encounter new words, sentence structures and ways of expression. This supports linguistic development and also makes learning to read easier later on.
Without predetermined images, adventures emerge in your own mind. This promotes creativity and imagination.
Anyone who wants to follow a story must listen attentively. This strengthens concentration ability quite incidentally.
Many families use audio stories as a fixed part of their evening ritual. The calm narrations help children settle down and end the day relaxed.
Anyone who regularly listens to the Ohrenbär Podcast often looks for a simple and child-friendly way to play it. This is exactly where hörbert comes in.
hörbert was developed specially for children and enables simple operation without complicated menus or apps. Particularly practical for podcast fans: New podcast episodes can be automatically updated via WiFi. So current episodes download onto the device overnight, for example, and are ready straight away the next morning.

Especially with the daily Ohrenbär Podcast, this is a great advantage: every day a new story awaits – and hörbert ensures it’s already available on the device.
