“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. 
Families can try Wise Kids Academy with a 14-day free trial. After that, Family access is $5 per month or $42 per year.

Choose a story. Hand your child the Director’s Chair. And see where the adventure takes them.

“Looking impressive does not mean you know what you are doing.”
Granny Gigglesnort finds a mysterious bottle buried in her garden. When she opens it, out bursts Eugenie the Genie in a storm of smoke, glitter, jewels and thunder. She certainly looks powerful - and Fergus and Trolla are immediately impressed.
But in this funny kids story podcast, Eugenie’s wishes keep going horribly wrong:
💎 Fergus asks for jewels and gets mules.
🔥 He asks for fame and gets flame.
👀 Trolla asks for pickled eyeballs and gets tickling fireballs.
🍽️ She asks for a feast and gets a huge hairy beast!
Granny soon notices that Eugenie’s mysterious tattoos are not ancient magic at all. They are instructions telling her how to look impressive: pause for effect, raise eyebrow slowly, wait for applause.
At last Eugenie admits the real problem: she is hard of hearing. Granny gives her an old brass ear trumpet, and suddenly Eugenie can hear perfectly. The friends learn that fancy clothes, big titles and dramatic tricks can make someone seem clever or powerful, but what really matters is what they can actually do.

“Changing a name does not change what something really is.”
Morgaff Doomweaver has decided that Magimajura’s names simply are not good enough. So he starts renaming everything! The Moonshadow Mountains become Mount Morgaff, Snaggleton becomes Bedraggleton, and even Wizzlethorp’s tower gets a new Morgaff-approved name.
In this ridiculous kids story podcast, Morgaff does not stop with places. Anyone who disagrees with him gets a silly new nickname too:
🧙 Wizzlethorp becomes Whimperthorp.
👵 Granny Gigglesnort becomes Granny Grumblewart.
🛡️ Sir Chucklenugget becomes Sir Chuckle-Nothing.
🧌 Grumblegut becomes Dumblebutt.
Granny and Wizzlethorp try explaining that simply announcing a new name does not make everyone use it. And calling people silly names does not prove that you are right. But Morgaff refuses to listen.
So they give him a taste of his own medicine and officially rename him! Morgaff is horrified and immediately complains that people cannot just change someone’s name because they feel like it. Exactly! Soon all his renaming orders are cancelled, and Snaggleton gets to stay Snaggleton.
A playful story about names, teasing and disagreements, showing that insults do not make an argument stronger - and rules can look very different when they are suddenly used on you.
