Is your kid bored of listening to you talking about the latest podcast you’ve heard?
Do they want their own podcast to listen to?
Do they have problems they need help with?
Well of course they do, don’t we all.
Brought to you by two mothers, who love stories, but can’t bear to just read them aloud to their children, like normal parents, but instead like to spend months recording them, with music and sound effects, in a garden shed and then distributing them for all to hear.
