In 2018, Burton started a podcast entitled simply ''[=LeVar=] Burton Reads''. The podcast is very similar in format, except that it's audio-only and features more mature stories rather than children's literature. It also came under fire in the lawsuit for Burton describing it as "Reading Rainbow for adults" (he no longer does, but fans do with impunity) and because WNED claimed copyright infringement over the phrases "you don't have to take my word for it" and "I'll see you next time" (unsurprisingly, they lost that one).

Five years after the show ended, Reading Rainbow has since been making a comeback as an internet-based outreach project. The project was started in 2012 with the goal of making Reading Rainbow content available on the iPad to everyone in the world. But as it progressed, feedback came in asking for the app to be available to more than just the iPad, and their ambitions grew, and the existing funding method of an optional low monthly fee for premium content proved to be insufficient (since said fee was already being used for funding the server space and content royalty).
