CBeebies Radio

CBeebies Radio is the BBC's audio service for younger children, bringing together stories, songs and programmes built around familiar characters. Its range includes short adventures, musical participation and quieter listening. Voices, sound effects and narration carry the action, allowing a story to unfold without pictures while retaining the playful world associated with CBeebies.

Dodge's Pup School appears through both songs and Story Time, with stories about the pups working together and taking part in shared activities. Hey Duggee Songs and the audio adventures of Hey Duggee Tails give another familiar character a place in the selection. Rafi the Wishing Wizard Songs adds a further musical strand, with character-led tunes alongside the spoken stories.

CBeebies Bedtime Stories brings guest readers into the service. Published examples include Richard E Grant reading The Baddies, Romesh Ranganathan with Mrs Mole, I'm Home and Ross Kemp with The Squirrels Who Squabbled. Cat Burns and Claudia Winkleman also appear among the readers. These short recordings place the reader's voice and the book's story at the centre, offering a different pace from the more active songs and adventures.

The programme also includes Calming Sounds, with themed soundscapes such as a spaceship setting. Those longer, quieter passages contrast with the brief songs and character stories elsewhere in the output. Together, the strands give the station more than one rhythm across the day: children can hear narrative, music and imaginative sounds within a dedicated BBC audio service for their age group.
