This is Miss Pam, We know from research that babies and toddlers don't learn language through video or audio alone. Our podcast is not for babies to passively listen to (although once he knows the opening songs and rhymes, he will be transfixed & you can get a break!) , but it is best used as an activity for parents and babies to do together. Great for fussy moments and in the car!
