Super Great Kids' Stories

Super Great Kids' Stories brings together professional storytellers from around the world to perform folk tales, fairy stories, and original adventures for young listeners. Kim Normanton hosts, with guest tellers like Wendy Shearer and Alton Takiyama-Chung bringing their own cultural backgrounds and performance styles to the mix. The result is a genuinely international collection that stretches well beyond the usual Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen rotation. The show has racked up nearly 400 episodes since launching, which gives it one of the deeper back catalogues in the UK kids podcast scene. Episodes arrive biweekly, and there is enough variety in the archive to keep a family going for months. You will find African trickster tales sitting alongside European fairy tales and Asian legends, often with Cinderella variations from completely different cultures that make for interesting comparisons. With a 4.5-star rating from over 1,300 reviews, it is one of the higher-rated children's storytelling podcasts out there. Some families have described it as their absolute favourite storytelling series. There is a subscription tier for ad-free listening and bonus content, but plenty of episodes remain free. The production quality is polished without being over-produced, and the storytellers know how to hold a young audience. For ages five and up, though honestly adults tend to get drawn in too.
