Listener sentiment
Listener sentiment for Once Upon A Crescent remains overwhelmingly positive, with the vast majority of ratings at the top of the scale and only a handful of low scores attributable to off-topic trolling or apparent misclicks. Parents and children alike praise Mrs. Hashimi's gentle, engaging storytelling, noting that kids request the podcast nightly at bedtime and during car rides, often re-listening to episodes until they've memorized them. Reviewers consistently highlight how Islamic values, Quranic references, and hadith are woven naturally into relatable stories featuring Muslim characters and names, making the podcast a rare and valued resource for Muslim families — though several non-Muslim families also report enjoying it for its universal moral lessons. The most persistent refrain across years of reviews, many written by children themselves, is a desire for more frequent episode releases; a gap in output earlier in 2026 drew anxious comments from young listeners, and the recent resumption of new episodes has been warmly welcomed. The show's reach is notably international, with families tuning in from across North America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, and Australia.
