About The Alien Adventures of Finn Caspian: Science Fiction for Kids
The Alien Adventures of Finn Caspian is a serialized science-fiction story for kids (start with Episode 1), told in 15-20 minute episodes for parents to put on when driving around town, or to marathon on road trips, or to bond over before bed. The story centers on Finn Caspian, an 8-year-old boy aboard The Famous Marlowe 280 Interplanetary Exploratory Space Station. He and his friends Abigail, Elias and Vale are Explorers Troop 301, taking off from the Marlowe to explore uncharted planets, help the occasional alien, and solve a mystery that threatens to destroy the Marlowe. When pressed, we describe it as a "mystery gang" story, sort of like Scooby-Doo in space. The story is written and performed by Jonathan Messinger, author of Hiding Out, former web editor of Time Out Chicago Kids, and father of two boys. His son Griffin, 7, serves as editor of the story, appearing in episodes to critique, make predictions and express skepticism that his father knows what he's talking about, which also happens to be the way the rest of their relationship works. Produced in partnership with Gen-Z Media. For more great shows and to listen early and ad-free, visit GZMShows.com (http://www.GZMShows.com).

Introducing: Ruby, Tooth Fairy Detective
Published 11 Feb 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] Ruby, wait. I've got three text messages from Carl and an audio message. Sally's tooth can't be the one he called me about. He used the word crisis. What kind of crisis is caused by a child's baby tooth? The only crisis I see is you and the captain thinking where are going to be partners. I'm not doing it, so there. Crisis averted. Now, let me do my job. There's Sally in her bedroom. Dear tooth fairy, I love my tooth. Careful, don't let her see you. tooth fairies are forbidden to talk to or be seen by human children who still have their baby teeth. The number one rule at TFBI. I know the rules. […]
