Beasley Unveils ''If You Give A Ric A Podcast'' on bPod

Ric and Maria

Beasley Media Group officially unveils season one of "If You Give A Ric A Podcast" on bPod Studios platform. The series was created for children ages 2-8 and follows the adventures of Ric and his older brother, Rece, as they travel the world and learn important life lessons through the pages of a new children's book every week. The duo is joined by children's author Maria Dismondy as they journey through six of her wildly popular books published by Cardinal Rule Press.

"We focus on books that have a basis in teaching great lessons, all while being something that is easy enough to put on during a ride to school or on the weekends while cleaning the house," said Hogerheide.

"If You Give A Ric A Podcast is a wonderful example of the ingenuity of our Beasley Media team members in the podcasting space," said Beasley Media Executive VP/Strategy and Innovation Buzz Knight. "Ric, in partnership with talented authors like Maria, is creating memorable storytelling experiences for children and parents through the medium of podcasting and we couldn't be prouder of their work."

New episodes will be released approximately every 10 days and are available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify and bpodstudios.com.
