2025/11/18
Have you ever thought about getting your first job? Where would you work? What would you have to do? Well, what if your first job was working the overnight shift at a pizzeria making sure the animatronic puppets don't come into contact with humans? That is exactly what happens in Five Nights at Freddy's, the runaway hit horror game, that has become one of Unspookable's most requested topics to cover.

2025/11/05
If you’re listening to Unspookable, chances are you like a good mystery. A mystery like, say, over 100 people vanishing without a trace?

Introducing: Big Emotions: Kids Listen Mashups About Feelings
2025/10/16
We are excited to share a recent episode of the Kids Listen podcast Big Emotions: Kids Listen Mashups About Feelings featuring Unspookable and our friends at At Your Level and Koala Shine and hosted by the amazing Molly Bloom (Brains On! & Smash Boom Best)! Give it a listen and if you want to hear more, there are loads more episodes here. --- Embarrassment & Pride (Part 1) 😳🏆 Welcome back to Big Emotions! This week we’re hiding behind the sofa, and then jumping in front of the camera! Embarrassment and pride might seem like opposites, but they’re really two sides of the same coin. Both are “self-conscious” emotions that help us reflect on how we show up in the world. In this episode, we explore the squirmy moments that make our cheeks burn and the warm glows that make our hearts swell - and how both feelings can teach us about ourselves, our values, and the people we care about. Contributing podcasts in this episode: At Your Level • Koala Shine • Unspookable  Hosted by: Molly Bloom of Brains On! & Smash Boom Best PDF Activity Sheet for SEL  Check out the music in each episode  About this series: Big Emotions: Kids Listen Mashups is a 7-part audio adventure where creators from the Kids Listen community come together to explore feelings in all their shapes and sizes. Each episode pairs two related emotions, sharing original clips and reflections to help kids (and grownups!) understand, name, and navigate their feelings.
