Rapunzel, adapted from the Brothers Grimm's 1812 original (plus the ending of Giambattista Basile's even older Petrosinella) and told to two silly robots hearing it for the first time. A funny storytelling podcast for kids 5 to 11 and their grown-ups.

A craving for a sorceress's lettuce costs a couple their baby. Then come a tower with no door, 70 feet of hair, the world's slowest escape plan, and a prince who lands in a rosebush. Vector wants to know how much lettuce a baby is worth. The older version ends in a chase with magic acorns that Vector calls the 1600s version of a high-speed car chase.

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.
