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'

Samson can’t sleep. He has ‘going to bed dread’. He just can’t get comfortable, and he can’t relax his mind. Sleep, which used to be easy, has suddenly become hard. He’s feeling tired all the time and struggling to find the energy to do the things he normally does with ease. Join him and Shelly in this short, gentle, sleep-time story. Shelly just LOVES sleep! She has loads of tips and ideas to help Samson find the deep rest he so craves. What happens when we sleep? Why is it so important? Does sleep just happen, or do you have to work for it? Listen to find out.
Highlights include - harmonising hedgehogs, ‘Sleep’ talking and a melodious lullaby from the compost-heap.
