Neverland Podcast

Living Radio UK has taken J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan and turned it into a proper audio drama spread across 17 episodes. This is not a rushed retelling or a simplified version for toddlers. The Neverland Podcast works through the full story, from shadows coming alive through to Wendy growing up, with immersive narration and professional production. Peter, Wendy, Tinker Bell, the Lost Boys, and Captain Hook all get their due. The complete narrative arc format works beautifully here. Rather than standalone episodes, listeners follow the story from beginning to end, which builds anticipation and gives kids a reason to come back. Each instalment is family-friendly and designed to appeal to both "nostalgic adults and wide-eyed children," as the show describes it. The pace is gentle enough for bedtime listening but dramatic enough to hold attention during the pirate sequences and fairy encounters. The podcast is relatively new and does not yet have listener ratings on Apple Podcasts, but the production from Living Radio UK is solid. The same team also produced an Alice's Adventures in Wonderland adaptation, which suggests a commitment to bringing classic British children's literature to audio. For families who want to introduce their children to Peter Pan without the sometimes dated Disney version, or who simply want a well-produced serialised story to work through together, this is a lovely option. Free and clean-rated.
