• Where can I purchase books and merchandise?

  Rebel Girls is carried in-store and online at many widely available retailers, including: Bookshop.org, Barnes & Noble, Target, Amazon, and your local bookshop. Shop online over at our Rebel Girls Shop.

• What is the Rebel Girls App?

  The Rebel Girls App is an entirely new digital space — built for girls. The app builds on the award-winning “Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls” podcast by offering a 100% free, personalized experience where girls can discover, explore and immerse themselves in 350+ stories of inspiring women from around the world. Download the app to listen to beloved Rebel Girls stories, as well as brand-new tales of extraordinary women!

• Does the Rebel Girls App just contain audio stories?

  Nope! While storytelling is the heart of Rebel Girls (and our 350+ audio stories are the foundation of the app!) — that’s just the beginning of what the app offers. Girls can listen to soundscapes that transport them around the world — from the jungles of Kenya, to the canyons of the Pacific Coast, to the summit of volcanoes in Japan, and beyond. They can engage in guided activities to explore their creativity as they listen to inspiring stories and music. They can spark conversation and build their knowledge with daily polls and trivia. And when it’s time to wind down and relax, they can listen to soothing sleep stories. And that’s just where we are today. Stay tuned for the new story formats and interactive features we’re hard at work on.

• What’s the difference between an audio story in the app and the podcast?

  There is no difference! The app is the new home for the entire Rebel Girls podcast library. You can also find content in the app that you can’t find in the podcast, or anywhere else! Through the app, we’re also able to offer more ways to customize your listening experience, like allowing you to save a story to your favorites, download stories for offline listening, and explore curated playlists tailored to your interests.

• Do I need to keep up with both the app and the podcast to hear everything?

  Here’s the great news: you only need the Rebel Girls App. It offers new audio stories, soundscapes and immersive activities regularly — plus our whole library of 350+ stories. The original podcast feed now offers around five episodes at any time, and podcast subscribers will notice a new story about once a month.

• Do I have to subscribe to the Rebel Girls App?

  No — as of February 15, 2024, the Rebel Girls app is 100% free for all users! There is no subscription needed to access our full library of stories and all premiere features.

• Where do I get the Rebel Girls App?

  We’ve started with iOS. Anyone with an Apple device can: (1) go to the Apple App Store, (2) search “Rebel Girls”, and (3) download the app! We hope to offer the app across more devices in the future.

• Can I download the stories to listen on-the-go?

  Yes! You can listen to stories on-the-go if you download them ahead of time. Just click the “download” button in the upper right of a story to download and listen to it later.
