Story Pirates
A podcast featuring authors, musicians, teachers and comedians performing adaptations of stories written by children into sketch and song. A fun and engaging podcast that features Pirates (the hosts) on a ship as they adventure on the open waters while performing stories submitted by children. With it they have produced albums with their song performances, books based on the stories, have live shows, and hold a summer camp for creative story writers. The story pirates hosts believe that all children are creative geniuses, and set out to make a platform where children's stories can be highlighted and writing can be encouraged in a seriously fun way. This is a podcast that parents can stream or download for their learners to listen to. This podcast is fun to listen to, and really engages children to get writing on their creative stories as well. This podcast is generally hands off as it is about listening to stories rather than doing. The podcast also requires internet connection to stream or download the episodes.
Grades: All ages
Cost: The podcast is free, but the music albums, books, club and camp are available in the store.
