Is your kid bored of listening to you talking about the latest podcast you’ve heard?
Do they want their own podcast to listen to?
Do they have problems they need help with?
Well of course they do, don’t we all.
Brought to you by two mothers, who love stories, but can’t bear to just read them aloud to their children, like normal parents, but instead like to spend months recording them, with music and sound effects, in a garden shed and then distributing them for all to hear.
Introducing Shelly & The Can-Do Kids
There will be songs
There will be good chat
There will be magic
There will also be a tortoise (Shelly) with ego-issues guiding the ship
Join Shelly as she seeks to makes kids a 'little bit more can-do'

Barnaby loves to sing. The problem is Barnaby can’t sing, well he can’t yet. His voice is loud and untuneful. How unfortunate that his year group at school are expected to sing at a very special and important performance. The whole situation is very uncomfortable for him. Luckily, Shelly is on hand to work through the complexities of not being very good at something, an issue we all have to face at one point or another in our lives. Is it ok to be bad at something and still do it? Can we get better at things? How can we play to our natural strengths in life? Listen to find out.
Highlights include – an epic feel-good choral number, an awkward singing head teacher and parakeet punk band.
