Creator Q&A
Tell us about yourself
Hey there! I’m Rylee, a mom of two and the creator behind Momma Bear Audio, coming to you from Portland, Oregon.
My journey into creating audio content began when I purchased a Yoto Player for my own kids during a Black Friday sale. I quickly realized the need for fun, affordable, and engaging audio stories and games. So, I wrote some of my own games and stories and shared them with my family and friends. It didn't take long to see that other moms (and dads, of course!) could benefit from this type of audio too!
That's when Momma Bear Audio was born. Had I ever written, recorded, or edited audio before? Not at all—it was all new territory. But as a mom, I recognized a gap in the market for audio that was not only educational and interactive but also truly captivating. I was determined to craft something unique—something you couldn't find just anywhere.
The number one goal behind Momma Bear Audio is to provide other parents with affordable, fun audio that makes every day a bit brighter. I’m here for you because I'm walking this motherhood journey right alongside you!
This venture has grown into a thriving community where I share my love for storytelling, playful learning, and fun with families everywhere. It's been an absolute honor to serve other families in this way, to become a little voice in their Yoto players, and to be a trusted figure for other parents!

I’m truly SO grateful for your support and can’t wait for you to join me through these exciting audio adventures!

What inspired you to make this title(s)?
These cards were born from the simple desire to create engaging audio that my own family wanted. What started as a personal project to fill a gap in our audio library quickly became a favorite among families worldwide, being played over and over again. These titles are all about bringing more joy, laughter, and creativity into kids’ lives, and I’m truly so honored that they’ve become go-to favorites for families everywhere!
"Through each story and game, I aim to spark a lasting love for creative exploration, making every listen an easy and welcomed step away from the screen"
Who do you imagine listening to your audio?
My hope? I want our audio to light up children’s imaginations and get them moving and thinking. It’s all about captivating their attention in a playful way that encourages learning and participation. Through each story and game, I aim to spark a lasting love for creative exploration, making every listen an easy and welcomed step away from the screen. I hope kids want to keep coming back for more audio, knowing they’ll always find something new and fun to brighten their day!
Is there anything different about making audio for Yoto?
Working with Yoto has been an amazing journey for Momma Bear Audio. From day one, Yoto has been right there, cheering me on and supporting my growth as a small creator. It's not often you see a big company that truly wants the little guys to succeed, but Yoto is different—they really care.
Creating audio for Yoto feels like being part of something special. It’s more than just making content; it’s about joining a community that celebrates creativity and supports small creators like me.
Yoto has given me the space to thrive and connect with families everywhere, and for that, I’m so grateful. To me, Yoto isn’t just a platform; it’s a partner that believes in the power of small creators and helps us make a big impact.
What’s next?
What’s next? There’s always something fun brewing at Momma Bear Audio! I’m excited to share that I’ve launched a podcast called “Games and Giggles,” packed with interactive games and activities to keep the fun going and provides more free audio. I’m also branching into the world of physical books and self-publishing. With so much audio content already written, it just felt right to bring some of those stories to life in book form!
I’m always dreaming up new ways to support families and keep kiddos entertained, so be sure to check out mommabearaudio.com for all the latest goodies. And don’t forget to follow along on Instagram @mommabearaudio and join our Facebook group for more updates and fun!

Creator FAQs
Who are the Creators?
Our Creators are independent makers of music and spoken word content for children and families. Some have established audiences in other places, while others are beginning their audio publishing journey with Yoto. We put out a public call to join this initiative at the start of 2024.
Each of our creators have their own Creator Profiles where you can read more about them and their cards. Just click on their name on their card store page to find out more.
How can I become a Creator?
If you are just starting out, you might first choose to share your digital content for free in the Open Mic section of our community site Yoto Space, where you can start building an audience and get feedback from friendly enthusiasts.
Learn how to make a great Yoto Card by reading our Yoto Creator Guidelines. Learn about what makes the Yoto format unique, and how to create a really engaging and successful title that children will love.
If you're ready to start selling your content on Yoto, you can register your interest.
Can I learn more about Creator content before purchasing?
Yes, each card has an extended audio preview so you can listen to a representative sample before making a purchase. You can also read more about a card's creator by clicking on their name on the card page.
How is this different from the free audio on Yoto Space?
Open Mic on Yoto Space is where we nurture those creators who may be just starting out or wanting to experiment with a new title. It's a friendly community where they have space to share content for free, build an audience and get feedback. We are delighted to see several creators make the leap from there to become Creators on the Yoto Store, where they can now monetise their work.
What do I do if I don't like a card that I've purchased?
If it simply isn't to your taste, purchases are covered by our usual returns policy. If you believe a title breaks our Creators Content Guidelines, please report it.
