Kozie Moles is a new low stimulation children's Podcast from RTÉjr.
Each visit with the Kozie family is a calming experience, where time slows down, and we can all unwind together. Each day, we join Sam, Nana, Dad, and Cubby as they settle in somewhere new and make it their home.

Moles never rush, and the world is a much more interesting place when you take your time. And you can bring it to the classroom or group too with the activity book - download it here!
Whether it’s in a sheltered corner of a breezy forest, a fishing boat on a stormy morning, or an old farmhouse by a lake, life with the Kozie family is always peaceful, gentle and slow. The Kozie Moles know how to make anywhere feel homely and it doesn’t matter where they are, as long as they have each other.
About the show
Each morning at dawn the Kozie Moles set up camp. They have been travelling all night and are now preparing for a restful sleep. Although each location is new and exciting, the Kozie family always follows a familiar morning routine.
This involves:
- Finding a safe, cosy space to set up camp
- Absorbing the sights and sounds around them
- Recounting the adventures of the day
- Cooking a warm, delicious meal
- Chatting about the day by a crackling campfire
- Getting tucked up and ready for bed
The show aims to provide a calming space for young listeners while subtly representing families in non traditional homes. The Kozie Moles don’t have a picture perfect house, but they do know how to make anywhere feel lovely, warm and safe. For them, 'home’ is all about the comfort of family and the familiarity of routine.
