It's October, and at the playground, everyone has had one treat. That's the rule. But behind the squeaky swing, at the edge of the woods, there's a tree with candy growing right out of its branches. Red ones. Yellow ones. Chocolate with caramel inside.

Tonight: every time someone asks for one more, the tree gives it to them. And the path home gets a little farther away. Maya, Bea, Twiggy, and little Milo are about to meet the biggest tree in the whole forest. It only knows one word. More. And Maya learns that wanting another isn't the same as needing another.

Maya's warning: this one starts sweet. It doesn't stay that way. Find a hand to hold.

Scary bedtime story for kids (ages 4–8). Roughly 20 minutes. Endings safe. New episodes weekly.

Follow so next week finds you in the fog. If they ask for "just one more," a rating helps other brave kids find us.

Maya's friends are in this one. It's a fog day at school, indoor recess — and the sharing shelf has a rule: everything on it is everybody's. But Bea says "mine" about the blue blocks. Maya says "mine" about the gold marker. And something in the room says it back.

In their voices. A little bit late. A little bit lower. Every "mine" anybody says all day, at the same time, in everybody's voice.

Maya and the Fog is a scary story podcast for brave kids ages 4–8. Real suspense, safe endings. New episodes every week.

Leo says eight-year-olds don't nap. Leo has never napped in his entire life. Allegedly.

It's a foggy Saturday, and at one o'clock Maya decides she's big now — she's going to lie in bed with her eyes open and skip her nap on purpose. Moose won't come in the room. And there's a very old rule about that. Everybody has a Grumble, and naps aren't for you. Naps are for the thing inside you.

Tonight, one hour at a time: a yawn that comes out wrong. Grey eyes in the dinner window. Nails that click on the blanket. And something in Maya's pajamas walking down the hall toward Lily's room.

Maya's warning: this one's closer than the others. Get under a blanket.
