  • Episode 20 - Kate Crackernuts
    Jun 6 2025

    Hello story lovers! This episode's story is from Scotland – it’s a very old tale that can be traced back to the Orkney islands - about a bold lass who goes on a magical adventure. We've also got a riddle for you from Jonathan Swift.

    We are little airy creatures

    All of diff'rent voice and features,

    One of us in glass is set,

    One of us you'll find in jet,

    T'other you may see in tin

    And the fourth a box within,

    If you should the fifth pursue

    It can never fly from you.

    Let us know the answer and you might get a shout out on the show!

    And send us some riddles of your own!

  • Episode 19 - The Pincoya Child
    May 24 2025

    Hello listeners! We hope you're enjoying the merry month of May! It's half term holidays here in the UK and I’m off to tell stories of shipwrecks and pirates at the famous Chatham Historic Dockyard. If you're in the area, come and say hello!

    This episode's story is also a tale from the sea - and comes all the way from Chile in South America. Off the coast of Chile there is a beautiful island called Chiloe – it is home to lots of rare and endangered animals – including penguins! But old stories tell of another creature that lives beneath the waves – the pincoya. The pincoya are mythicial sea fairies - a bit like mermaids who live in an underwater world. They are generally very wary of humans and some say that when a poor sailor is lost or drowned at sea, the pincoya guide them to a great phantom ship called the Caleuche which sails the sea for all eternity - JEEPERS!

  • Episode 17 - The Legend of Falling Star Part 1
    Apr 25 2025

    Hello listeners! In this story from the Cheyenne Tribe of the Great Plains, our hero Falling Star must face danger to find his people and his place on earth.

    The Cheyennes were once a warrior tribe, but they have a great tradition of storytelling and living in balance with the land and nature around them. They respect nature so much …. Believe that nature is sacred and that everything has its own spirit. This story has warriors and lots of animals – and some monsters in it.There’s also a place called the ‘in-high’ up in the sky where the star people live and as our stories called ‘Falling Star’ maybe you can guess what might happen…

  • Episode 14 - The Witch in the Market
    Mar 14 2025
    Bonjour listeners! This episode, our story is from the city of Paris, France. It's a fairytale created by a writer called Pierre Gripari in the 1960s. When he was a boy, he read lots of traditional French fairy tales by Charles Perrault – like sleeping beauty and little red riding hood. And he loved them! But when he grew up, he realised that he wanted fairytales that were about where he lived – the streets of Paris. So he made up his own. And this is our version of one of his most famous – the Witch of the Rue Mouffetarde. ‘Rue’ means street in French. All the locations in the story can be found in Paris today – hopefully there are no witches there though. You can read more stories by Pierre Gripari HERE.
