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'

Max is sad. Really sad. His beloved pet dog Noodles has died and he has some big feelings to process. He feels lost in his grief and unsure which way to turn. Shelly steps in to guide Max through these feelings and explore the complexities of life and death. Will Shelly help Max to see how time can help? How can Max make sure he remembers Noodles? Can you really make lemonade when life gives you lemons? Listen to find out.
Highlights include – a groovy call and response duet, a parachute journey and an American folk-singing, Ukulele wielding, teacher.
