Revolting Rhymes part 1

Today's audiobook is the first part of three installments reading Roald Dahl's "Revolting Rhymes". In this podcast I read aloud the tales of Cinderella and Jack and the Beanstalk. Just so you know there is a tiny bit of bad language (more rude than sweary) around the 7.20-7.25 mark if you want to filter or miss out. I'm just reading what's on the page!!!!
Poem one starts straight after the intro music, poem 2 starts at 8.30

Next week I will upload part two of the "Revolting Rhymes" trilogy with "Snow White and the seven dwarves" and "Goldilocks and the three bears".

A Dancer's Tale

Today's audiobook is "A Dancer's Tale" -  the real life story of Phyllis Spira, a.South African ballerina told in rhyme. This, and many other tales, can be found at the very brilliant storyweaver website which contains many different multicultural tales on numerous topics for all levels of reader.

The next 3 podcasts will come as a series as I read aloud the brilliant (if not rather macabre and grotesque) "Revolting Rhymes" by Roald Dahl.

My Tale

Hello and welcome to my new podcast venture - Tell A Tale Pod.

In this mini pod I take a bit of time to introduce myself and the many reasons why I have decided to do this podcast. As you will hear education, podcasting and storytelling are in my blood.

I am very open to hearing from you if you have any texts, authors or any source material (fiction, non-fiction, poetry, play monologues etc) you think would be good for the podcast - the more diverse the better.  I am not going to promise to have a podcast up on a regular basis - mainly because one can never tell if I will have the time or the voice to do a recording on such a rota. But as I am setting this up over the summer holidays, I am hoping to get a few recordings in the bag so a steady stream can get in new listeners.

Don't worry if you are new to podcasting, I hope to make the blog as accessible as possible. The page will be laid out the same on every episode. There will always be a link to download the file straight to your device, but there will also be a button so you can just play the episode straight from the website (just mind your data if using your phone!!!) All I do ask is that if you *do* enjoy the podcast, share the page as much as you can on social media OR if you are in the educational world maybe just a little bit of word of mouth would be great too :)

My first tale, The Boy Who Didn't Know, will be available next week
