Goodnight, World!
This podcast wrapped up, but the back catalogue holds up well.
No new episodes are coming out. The existing ones are still worth a listen.
Sesame Street and Headspace teaming up for a bedtime podcast is one of those ideas that just makes sense the moment you hear it. Goodnight, World! is hosted by Alan Muraoka (you know him as Alan from the show) alongside Nina and a rotating cast of Sesame Street Muppets, and it is designed to help kids wind down at the end of the day. Each of the 26 episodes runs about 20 minutes and blends gentle storytelling with actual mindfulness techniques -- breathing exercises, body scans, guided relaxation -- all wrapped in the familiar warmth of Sesame Street characters. So your kid is not just listening to a bedtime story, they are building real skills for calming themselves down. The Headspace team clearly shaped the meditation side of things, and it shows. The pacing is deliberate and unhurried, with soft music and sound effects that create a cozy atmosphere without being boring. Parents report their kids falling asleep before episodes end, which is honestly the highest compliment a bedtime podcast can get. It holds a 4.4 rating on Apple Podcasts from nearly 900 reviews, and the feedback is overwhelmingly positive from families with toddlers through early elementary age. The show works for kids who have trouble transitioning from the chaos of the day to actually lying still in bed. Fair warning though -- Season 2 content is exclusive to the Headspace app, so you will want the free first season episodes while they last.
