Little Listens - Shorts

Little Listens from The Listening Planet is a magical audio journey into the wild, bringing the sounds and stories of nature to young listeners. Designed for curious minds, each immersive episode transports children to breathtaking landscapes—from the icy Arctic to the lush rainforests—where they’ll encounter real animal sounds, rich storytelling, and the wonders of the natural world. Whether it’s the haunting call of loons on a misty lake, the drumming of a woodpecker in the forest, or the thundering stampede of wildebeest across the savannah, Little Listens makes nature come alive in a way that sparks imagination, curiosity, and a deep love for the planet.

Perfect for bedtime, quiet time, or curious explorers on the go, Little Listens invites children (and grown-ups!) to slow down, listen deeply, and discover the music of the world around them.
