About Mr. Jim:


What started as a dad recording bedtime stories for his kids while traveling for work has become a phenomenon. Jim Jacob never set out to launch a podcast, he just needed his family to hear his stories. Hundreds of thousands of listeners later, that accidental solution has become one of the most beloved children's audio adventures on the internet.

Welcome to Spyology Squad — where science becomes a superpower and every mission is a new discovery.

Join Jayden, Ava, and Mr. Jim as they face off against the diabolical Dr. Stinkybreath and his Purple Ninja army in a world of spyience-fiction a blend of pulse-pounding spy adventure and real scientific thinking designed to light up young imaginations. Each episode drops kids ages 6–12 into a fast-moving mission where the only way to save the world is to think like a scientist.

What makes Spyology Squad special? This isn't science dressed up as entertainment, it's adventure that sneaks in genuine learning. Episodes are crafted to complement what kids are actually exploring in school, turning concepts like physics, chemistry, and biology into plot twists and mission objectives. 

New episodes release three times a week, so there's always a new mission waiting.

Whether it's a car ride, bedtime routine, or a rainy afternoon, Spyology Squad turns screen-free time into something genuinely exciting. Jim and his wife Jocelyn built this for their own three kids — and now they're building it for yours.

Subscribe and join the Squad. There’s a new adventure around every corner.
