Podcasts
A single, parent-picked podcast with pick-up-where-you-left-off playback.
Plays episodes from a single kid-safe podcast that you choose, so there is no searching or browsing. Episodes are saved on the device ahead of time and play without a connection. Each episode remembers where your child stopped, and you choose which episodes are saved in the Peko Pal app.

What it does
- Kid-safe by design. Plays only the one show a parent added; no open search or browsing.
- Downloaded, not streamed. Episodes download to the device ahead of time, so playback works without a live connection.
- Resume anywhere. Each episode remembers its own paused position, even across power cycles.
- Simple navigation. D-pad up/down moves between episodes oldest-to-newest, left/right jumps back/forward 15 seconds; the button plays, pauses, or restarts.
For parents
Podcasts plays episodes from a single kid-safe show that's been chosen and added to your child's device — there's no open search or browsing to unfamiliar shows. Episodes are downloaded to the device's SD card ahead of time, so once an episode is on the device, playback itself doesn't need an internet connection; WiFi is only used to fetch new episodes and settings from the server.
Your child moves between episodes with the d-pad and plays or pauses with the button. Each episode remembers exactly where playback left off, so pausing partway through and coming back later picks up right where they stopped. Episodes play oldest-to-newest, and some shows play a short spoken announcement before an episode starts.
