| Abstract: |
In the study, the authors explored families' experiences listening to a variety of children's podcasts. This study explored how children and families living in low-income households use and experience podcasts, what podcast features may support engagement, and parents' views on the potential benefits from listening. Specifically, the authors explored: (1) Family podcast listening habits; (2) Podcast features that drive and sustain listening; (3) Features that encourage family co-listening and interactions, such as conversations and activities during and after listening; and (4) Features that support children's learning. |
