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'

Tina is nervous. Really nervous. It’s her turn to do Show and Tell at school and she doesn’t know what to say or do. She is in reception and feels overwhelmed. Fortunately, someone special lives in the garden in her block of flats. It’s a tortoise. A tortoise called Shelly. She is over 100 years old and has wisdom to match her years. She has advice and encouragement galore, plus she likes to sing. Can Tina find something to talk about? Will she find the courage to speak in front of her class? Will they like what she has to say? Listen to find out.
Highlights include - a catchy song about poo, a cabinet of curiosities and meeting an Antipodean aunt called Kylie.
