Yoto Radio, Yoto Daily and podcasts on Yoto

Yoto Radio, Sleep Radio and the Yoto Daily podcast are free on every Yoto player. How to play them, how to add other podcasts and stations and which ones don't work on the 4th Gen yet.

What is Yoto Radio?

Yoto Radio is Yoto's free radio station for kids, playing family-friendly music all day with no ads. Yoto Sleep Radio plays calm songs and sounds for bedtime. Both stations stream live, so your player needs Wi-Fi to play them. The Yoto app also has stations from other broadcasters, such as Fun Kids Radio.

What is Yoto Daily?

Yoto Daily is Yoto's free podcast, with a new episode every day. Jake, a dad and former elementary school teacher, hosts the show with facts, jokes, games and draw-alongs. You can listen on a Yoto player, in the Yoto app or on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Jake no longer reads out birthday messages on the show, but a free card in the app has five birthday messages from him.

How to play Yoto Radio and Yoto Daily on a player

  • Yoto Player and Mini 4th Gen: press the Green Button when the clock is showing. By default this starts Yoto Daily during the day and Yoto Sleep Radio at night. Twist the button to find Yoto Radio and the other titles in the day or night playlist.
  • Earlier Yoto players: with no card in, press the right-hand button once for Yoto Daily, again for Yoto Radio and a third time to go back to the clock.

You can change what the buttons play in the Yoto app.

How to put a podcast or radio station on a card

  1. Go to the Library tab in the Yoto app and choose Radio or Podcasts.
  2. Tap the station or podcast you want, then tap the three-dot menu.
  3. Choose Link to a Card and put a blank Make Your Own card in the player.

The card streams, so it only plays when your player is online. Our Make Your Own card guide covers blank cards.

Adding a podcast or station that isn't in the Yoto app

Go to yotoplay.com/create and sign in with the email you use for the app. To add a podcast, choose Podcasts, then Add Podcast, paste the podcast's RSS link and click Grab podcast details. The RSS link is different from the podcast's website address and often has "rss" in it. To add a radio station, make a playlist and add the station's live stream address with Add Stream. Then link it to a card from the Make Your Own section of the app.

Which podcasts and stations don't work on the 4th Gen?

Most work, including Yoto Radio, Story Pirates, Brains On!, But Why, Sleep Tight Stories and Fun Kids Radio. These don't play on the Yoto Player and Mini 4th Gen yet:
