Story Pirates

The Story Pirates meet a Wishing Wizard (Hannah Solow), resulting in a classic three wishes situation. Featuring two new stories: “How to Make Grilled Peaches,” a story about the wildest and weirdest recipe you’ve ever heard, written by Hanna, a 9 year old from New York, and “Peanut Butter Smoothies,” a story about a puppy who craves one delicious beverage over any other, written by a 9 year old from Vermont named Matilda.

Lee talks to John Legend about his new album for kids and families, his experience learning about music as a kid and some tips for how kids can write their own songs. Featuring two songs from John’s new album My Favorite Dream: ‘L-O-V-E’ and ‘Always Come Back.’

A magnetic, musical manatee (John Legend) tries to convince the Story Pirates to form a marching band, but is he really who he says he is? Featuring two new stories: “Butts,” a song about, well, butts, sung by Broadway star F. Michael Haynie and written by Malachy, a 7 year old from Pennsylvania, and “The Audition,” a story about the trials and tribulations of putting on a brand new musical, written by a 10 year old from Massachusetts named Nora.  Grownups, you can access the ad-free version of the show by visiting storypirates.com/creatorclub, or subscribing right in Apple Podcasts.
