Storytime hogger and early bedtime

Storytime hogger and early bedtime

Author: Fun Kids August 10, 2026 Duration: 26:51

Kiran and Liam haul Kumi into court over his obsession with Kid Time Storytime, a puppet show they beg for morning, noon and night. Kiran has even drawn up a roster so everyone gets a fair turn to pick, but Kumi picks their show every single time, and when they don't get their way, out come the very long, very loud tantrums...

Can they win back a share of the listening? And wait until you hear Kumi’s own story about a witch, a pterodactyl and a stolen pair of pants!

Then nine-year-old Darcy takes her mum to court over bedtime. Darcy is sent up at half past six, the same time as her two-year-old cousin AJ, and doesn’t wake up until seven the next morning. Mum reckons she’d send her up even earlier, and starts talking rather fondly about Victorian children being seen and not heard...

Judge Bex has done her research on how much sleep a nine-year-old actually needs. Is Mum about to lose this one?

Ever had a fight with your brother over who really broke the remote, or felt a deep injustice when your pocket money was denied? Judge Bex is here to preside over these all-too-familiar courtroom dramas of everyday life. Hosted by the wonderfully witty Bex from Fun Kids, this podcast takes those petty squabbles and sibling stand-offs seriously-well, sort of seriously. Armed with an actual law degree and a gavel, Bex listens to the evidence presented by young plaintiffs and defendants, tackling cases of unfair chores, broken promises, and misplaced toys. Each episode feels like a playful legal session where Bex and her team of ace attorneys dissect the details, hear both sides, and deliver a verdict that’s both funny and surprisingly fair. It’s a unique blend of family-friendly humor and lighthearted problem-solving, giving kids a fun framework to think about justice, fairness, and how to resolve their own disputes. Tune in for a clever mix of kid-centric true crime for minor offenses, where the stakes are low but the courtroom drama is highly entertaining. You’ll find yourself rooting for both sides and maybe even picking up a few diplomatic skills for your next argument at home.
