Way back when Podcasts first started, I started ChildrensPodcast.com. It’s defunct now and I brought them to my blog.
Most of these were stories that I told my children before they went to sleep. Often, keeping them up too late. But, they wouldn’t let me stop. I share them here for you as perhaps inspiration.
Telling children stories are the way that children learn goodness…persistence and all the parts that come with goodness. If you like them, let me know!
Note: Some of them have the audio files I recorded for the podcast, some don’t. I think they are lost. But, it’s pretty easy to remake them because it’s been written down or I could use an audio transcription service to get the words. Maybe I will at some point.

The Troll and the Toymaker, Part 2

How I learned to tell stories
I’m not sure I remember when I started telling stories. At first, my children started asking me about what happened to me when I was little. I suspected they were looking for stories of how I handled things or what might possibly be coming next for them. They couldn’t get enough of my childhood and […]
