What’s It About?
THE PEEPKINS podcast tells the stories and adventures of Commander Hatch, Nick, and other peepkins in the town of Coopmore Ridge. Best friends Commander Hatch and Nick have big emotions, constantly finding themselves on adventures to lift town spirits, melt the heart of the town menace, Baron, and encouraging each other as much as they can. Nick is particularly fearful as their adventures take them on flights, facing off with feral hermits, and more, but Commander Hatch always helps Nick face his fears and have courage.
Is It Any Good?
Unique and interesting adventures every episode. The Peepkins tells well thought out stories about the small town of Coopmore Ridge that families and kids of all ages can enjoy. Episodes do a nice job teaching lessons of friendship and courage, while also having plenty of humor and singing. Some concepts or words may be too mature for younger children, but generally well-oriented towards the whole family. On top of the great audio production quality, an added bonus is comedian Anna Faris voicing Commander Hatch. This fun and quirky podcast doesn't dissapoint.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
