The purpose of this work is to compare the coverage of mental health in Russian-language podcasts for children and adults. The lack of knowledge on this topic, especially regarding podcasts for children, underscores the importance of studying mental health coverage in the media. The expected results allow us to give an idea of the specifics of mental health coverage in children's and adult Russian-language podcasts. The data was obtained by analyzing 60 Russian-language podcasts for children and adults in terms of determining mental health, podcast topics and episodes mentioning it, general statistics on listening to releases, the status of content producers and episode descriptions on the platform. The results of the study will help to contribute to the theory of mental health coverage in the media and give an idea of the current state of its coverage in Russian-language podcasts.
