Abstract

The present study investigates why parent use podcasts to provide storytelling for their children. A podcast is a form of audio-based technology that can be used to introduce fairy tales to children. Storytelling with technology involves children, parents, and the source of technology. In Indonesia, a fairy tale podcast content is available on a music streaming platform, Spotify. This podcast presents a different atmosphere in storytelling because children can recognize fairy tales via a new medium. This research focuses on the three Cs, namely, content, context, and child, to guide parents in choosing electronic media, especially storytelling activities in the form of digital audio podcast. The present study utilizes a constructivist paradigm in which the reason and role of parents in interpreting podcast technology as a medium for children’s learning that is focused on storytelling activities are emphasized. Data were collected by interviewing three mothers who have used podcasts for storytelling. Results show that parents who choose podcasts for storytelling use them as an alternative for telling fairy tales to children if the parents cannot tell stories directly and feel that they are not creative enough to build a story.
