Our Story

PODS began with dens. Our founder, Alex, grew up building them in the woods, out of sheets and washing lines, and from sofa cushions. From disability within the family and being paired at lunchtimes with an autistic boy who would find calm by creating his own space under the tables. That sparked the idea of a calming safe space where children could be themselves and travel to another world. PODS has been in development since 2014, and when Alex's daughter was born in 2018, hours of reading together inside PODS led to the audio stories, eBooks and soundscapes that bring every Adventure Jacket to life today.
