We Love Bedtime Stories Podcast
We Love Bedtime Stories is a collection of goofy, silly and imaginative tales, made up on the spot by real parents and brought to life by some of the best improvisational comedians in the world. Listen to these magical and wonderful stories below!
We Love Bedtime Stories was inspired by my father and his ability to tell an incredibly imaginative bedtime story off of the top of his head. I recorded him in action, telling a most hilarious western-style bedtime story to my nephews. I had my very talented improviser friends embellish upon his story to make our first We Love Bedtime Story episode! I also enlisted musicians and an Emmy award winning sound design team and I created Gallopin' Gallloot. I had to make more because it was so much fun so I asked a bunch of different storytellers to submit original bedtime stories. Now, there are six stories in total... Gallopin' Galloot, Edward the Dragon, The Island Kingdom of Scumption, (Part 1 and 2), Monkey Puppy, Mean Maude & Nasty Nellie and The Pet. We Love Bedtime Stories can now be heard on the Pinna network, Panoply's ad free podcasting channel for children ages 4 -12. We are delighted to be partnering with the Pinna network.
