“It is much nicer to learn from somebody else’s mistakes than your own.”
Sir Chucklenugget discovers a mysterious dungeon and charges straight inside. Unfortunately, his brave adventure ends with a missing boot, burnt eyebrows, a battered shield and several painful lessons.
So Stanky has a better idea. In this exciting kids story podcast, they return to the dungeon with The Adventurer’s Handbook - a book filled with the mistakes of explorer Barnaby Bruisebottom.
🌉 A rotten bridge teaches them to look carefully before stepping.
🗿 A stone guardian shows them that sometimes standing still is safer than fighting.
🚪 A beautiful golden door turns out to be much more dangerous than the ugly one.
⚔️ Swinging blades become easier once they stop rushing and spot the pattern.
Then they reach a final chamber that is not in the book. This time, Stanky and Sir Chuck must use everything they have already learned to solve the puzzle themselves.
Their adventure shows that mistakes can teach us something useful - and we do not always have to make every mistake ourselves. We can listen, read, learn from other people’s experiences and then use those lessons when we face a new problem of our own.

“Sometimes we think somewhere else will be better, until we realise what was special about home.”
Grizzlewhisker is bored with Snaggleton. The same streets, the same smells, the same people... surely there must be somewhere more exciting!
So in this fun kids story podcast, she sets off to find the perfect place:
🧌 Grubblydale has giant bones, muddy puddles and huge snacks.
🪲 Snarlsniff is packed with beetles, strange smells and noisy goblins.
🏴‍☠️ A pirate ship brings fish, waves and adventure.
🏔️ The Moonshadow Mountains are peaceful and calm.
Every place is wonderful at first, but after a while Grizzlewhisker still feels that something is missing.
Then Yasashi Oni helps her think about what she left behind: her own bed, her favourite games, tummy scratches, familiar paths and people who would search everywhere if she disappeared. Grizzlewhisker finally understands that home was special all along.
She races back to Snaggleton and discovers that nothing there has changed... except the way she sees it.

“Big jobs look impossible until you break them into little ones.”
Granny Gigglesnort suddenly remembers that five witches are coming for tea in just three hours. The cottage is a mess, the cups are filthy, there is hardly any food, and Granny has so much to do that she decides the only sensible plan is to hide under a tea towel and pretend to be a pillow.
Luckily, Stanky arrives. In this funny kids story podcast, he does not ask Granny to fix everything at once. He simply asks one question: “What’s first?”
🧹 First, they clear the table.
☕ Then they find and wash the cups.
🎂 Next comes worm-and-walnut cake.
🦇 Then they catch the bat wings that escape and fly around the kitchen.
👁️ After that, they chase runaway eyeballs for the éclairs!
Every time Granny starts to feel worried again, Stanky helps her focus on just one small job. Bit by bit, the impossible tea party begins to come together.
When the witches finally arrive, they are amazed by the revolting feast of bat-wing sandwiches, spider tartlets, bloodberry scones and bubbling Bogwater Brew. Granny learns that a huge job can feel frightening when you think about everything at once, but one small step at a time can get you all the way to the finish.

“He who throws pebbles asks for rocks in return.”
Jinx and Snickerfang are bored on a hot day when one tiny pebble starts a very silly fight. A pebble becomes a rock, the rock leads to dung, and before long the two goblins are trying to get even with each other in more and more disgusting ways.
In this kids story podcast, their revenge gets completely out of control:
💩 Snickerfang fires dung from his Sniksy Mud-Splodger.
🤢 Jinx answers with ancient snot.
🐀 A dead-looking rat gets launched through the air - and then bites Jinx!
🪱 Maggots, fish guts, toenails and swamp muck soon join the battle.
Neither goblin wants to stop because each one believes the other started it. Eventually they build two enormous muck-launching machines and fire at the same time. Their horrible ammunition crashes together in the sky and rains straight down onto their own Beetle Burrow!
Thousands of furious beetles chase them all the way to the Slithering Stream, where Jinx and Snickerfang finally realise how ridiculous things have become. One tiny pebble caused an enormous mess because they kept trying to get revenge. They learn that getting even often makes a problem bigger instead of making it better... although one cheeky dung beetle soon puts that lesson to the test!

What if a story could be more than something children simply listen to?
In this special episode, Dan introduces Wise Kids Academy - a new way for children to explore the stories they already love through reading, imagination, curiosity, discussion and play.
Wise Kids is built around four ideas:
W - Wisdom
I - Imagination
S - Social and Emotional Learning
E - Education
Children can read along with the original BKFK performances, discover new vocabulary, take on Quiz Quest, explore fascinating facts, think about characters and choices, get creative with Doodle Time, experiment with Mad Libs, and see how ideas from stories connect with the real world.  
The big idea is simple:
Don’t just listen to the story. Explore it.
Wise Kids is designed to help children read, think, imagine, question, discover and create - while keeping the story and the fun at the centre of everything.
