Story Pirates

We love it when narrators get involved in the stories they are telling. And recently, we received a story that not only has a meddlesome narrator, but the author himself intervenes as well. So, for the first time ever on this show, today’s new story, by 11 year old William in Colorado, co-stars the author himself.

What’s that? You need a mixtape to help provide the soundtrack to your holiday travels? Good news: the world’s greatest DJ who is also a worm is on the case!
