Ask HN: Devices to allow children to listen to podcasts on my local network?

You can consider using a dedicated media player or a single-purpose device to allow your children to listen to podcasts on your local network. One option is to repurpose an old tablet or e-reader with a custom launcher to limit distractions. Alternatively, you can explore devices like an Amazon Fire HD or a device specifically designed for kids, such as a Toniebox or a Kids Edition tablet, which often come with restricted access and parental controls. Another option is to use a Raspberry Pi with a custom-built media player software, such as Kodi or Plex, to create a dedicated media device.
