The Cat in the Hat Podcast is coming 

Wondery's children's and family podcast division has partnered with entertainment company Dr. Seuss Enterprises to put its intellectual property in a series of Podcasts. 

The first podcast to lead the new offering will be The Cat in the Hat Cast, based on the best-selling book The Cat in the Hat. The series, to be released exclusively on Wondery+ and Wondery Kids+ on Apple Podcasts beginning September 18, will feature the iconic book character in a variety show-style podcast with musical numbers, skits and more. 

“The works of Dr. Seuss have resonated with readers of all ages for generations, and the books promote the importance of staying curious and using your imagination,” said Dr. Seuss Enterprises president and CEO Susan Brandt. “Wondery Kids & Family has an incredible vision for how to bring to life our characters and stories in podcasting form.”

In addition to The Cat in the Hat, Wondery plans to announce another series inspired by the works of Dr. Seuss "in the coming weeks." The podcasts will be geared toward children ages 3 and up.

Other companies and broadcasters are also investing in the children's podcast sector, including Disney, which has announced a sequel to the Frozen 2 podcast, and Audible, which has teamed up with Nickelodeon.
