Tell Me An Old Captain Story!
Hi, my name is Bert Rock, and I am the creator of this podcast, which is a storytelling time for kids. It all started back during the pandemic, when we were all getting locked down, quarantined, wearing masks and washing our groceries. My best friends had a five year old son named Simon at the time, and a baby, Miles who was about a year old then. They were working from home, schooling from home and going bonkers from home. I lived a mile away did what I could to help out by taking Miles for walks in his stroller on my lunch breaks. After work, I'd take Simon to the pool in that crazy and challenging summer of 2020, and it was there that these stories were born. Simon and I had been playing pirates and sea monsters at the pool one day when he got tired of splashing around and asked me to tell him a story. That day, I made up a story on the spot, with a character I called, "Old Captain," and now, every day since, Simon and his brother Miles will say to me, "Tell me an Old Captain story!" So here we are. Every week I’ll have an original story filled with whimsy, weirdness and fun, like the ones I tell Simon and Miles. I Hope you enjoy!
