Mum's Marathon – a hilarious kids storytelling podcast adventure

In this uproarious kids podcast episode, Mum has signed up for a marathon—but she simply can’t run past anything that needs fixing. Not wouldn’t. Couldn’t. Her legs refuse to keep going if someone, somewhere, might need help.

From rescuing cats stuck in trees to herding rebellious chickens, fixing fences, delivering packages, and even dodging runaway gnomes, Mum’s “training” turns into a spectacular parade of chaos, animals, and good intentions. No obstacle is too small, no animal too stubborn, and no neighbour too helpless for her helpful streak.

This funny children’s audio story is perfect for a kids storytelling podcast, bedtime stories, car journeys, or family listening. It combines absurd humour, escalating suspense, and warm-hearted chaos, showing that sometimes you just can’t fight your nature—even at the finish line.

• Ages: 4–400

Press play and join Mum, Gerald the cat, a flock of rebellious chickens, and a very determined goose for a kids storytelling podcast packed with chaos, courage, and unstoppable hilarity.
