Tales from the Moosiverse Podcast

10/09/2021

We have a few slots left in today's Creating Your Own Podcast workshop, from 2-3pm EDT. If your kids are interested, I'd love to see them there!

In this single-session class, students will learn skills for writing, recording, producing, and distributing a podcast from the creator of the narrative children's podcast Tales from the Moosiverse.

02/09/2021

Announcing a range of upcoming online classes for kids aged 8-15, on story development, writing time travel stories that make sense, the hero's journey, and even creating your own podcast!

Wherever you are in the world - and whether your kids are in school and are looking for a creative after-school activity, or your kids are home-schooled and you're building out their creative writing curriculum - these are straightforward, easy, and fun ways to write together and experience a supportive community of peers.

I recently made the switch to teaching on Outschool, but I have been teaching some of these classes for several iterations over the last 18 months independently - if you'd like to speak to a parent whose child has taken a course, let me know - I'd love to put you in touch.

A year ago today, Tales from the Moosiverse launched with our first three episodes, at the first-ever PodTales Festival in Cambridge, MA!

A year later, we're nine episodes into our third season, and today's episode - The Sea of Everything - might be our craziest yet. By which I mean... in the subatomic world, a dragon explains quantum physics to a frog while a spaceship tries to escape from quark-eating sharks... Oh, and there's also the top 12 floors of the Burj Kalifa, the four-headed "President Rushmore," and a decorative bass fish singing "Don't Worry, Be Happy".

We're grateful that these ridiculous stories are finding a home in so many families' hearts. It's such a joy to hear kids talk about these characters, and it's an honor to read so many amazing stories written by our listeners! Here at Moosiverse HQ, we're celebrating the day with - what else? - chocolate cake. We wish we could share it with you all!

Starting on Wednesday's , our good friend Dan Archibald will be reading Sideways Stories from Wayside School, written by Louis Sachar and illustrated by Adam McCauley. 2-3pm Eastern as usual. Kids age 6-12 (and siblings and parents) are invited, whether you have been on for any of these sessions before and know others, or you are brand new and don't know anyone. We'd love to have you!

About the book: "There was a terrible mistake - Wayside School was built with one classroom on top of another, thirty stories high (The builder said he was sorry.) Maybe that's why all kinds of funny things happened at Wayside-especially on the thirteenth floor." Find out more: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15779.Sideways_Stories_from_Wayside_School

Starting on today's (not sure if we'll stick with that title - suggestions welcome 😉), we'll read Adventures with Waffles, by Maria Parr.

Kids 6-12 (and siblings and parents) are invited! Message us for the link.
