Aladdin and the Magic Lamp, adapted from the original in Antoine Galland's One Thousand and One Nights (1710s) and told to two robots hearing it for the first time. A funny storytelling podcast for kids 5 to 11 and their grown-ups.

In Part 1, a lazy kid named Aladdin meets a stranger with a thin mustache, a soul patch and a very suspicious claim to be his long-lost uncle. Soon Aladdin is trapped underground with a magic ring, a dusty old lamp, and pants full of treasure. Vector eventually works out that the uncle is lying. Spark insists Aladdin and his friends are playing toilet tag.

Part 2 comes out next Thursday.

Cinderella, adapted from the Brothers Grimm's original, Aschenputtel, and told to two robots hearing it for the first time. A funny storytelling podcast for kids 5 to 11 and their grown-ups.

No fairy godmother and no pumpkin coach. Instead there's a hazel tree on her mother's grave, a magic bird the robots name Marge, a ball three nights in a row, and stepsisters who will do almost anything to make a golden slipper fit. Spark wants to know where Cinderella's dad is. Vector calculates the tears.

The ending of The Little Mermaid, adapted from Hans Christian Andersen's 1837 original and told to two robots who are not ready for it. A funny storytelling podcast for kids 5 to 11 and their grown-ups.

The little mermaid has legs at last, but every step feels like walking on knives, she can't say a word, and the prince keeps calling her his "foundling." Spark is outraged. Vector thinks sleeping on a pillow outside the prince's door sounds comfortable and practical.
