Episode Details

This weekend, we have a special bonus episode for daytime listening! This is Part 1 of Big Emotions: Kids Listen Mashups About Feelings — a special 7-week series where more than 40 kids’ podcasts have come together to explore big feelings through stories. This week's theme is Fear & Bravery, and includes a clip from Isla & The Bravery Dragon 💜

As this episode is hosted by Eric O'Keefe of What If World, and there are clips here from other, less sleepy shows, this episode is best enjoyed in the daytime — perhaps on your way to school, or while you’re out and about. So if you’re all tucked up in bed right now, you might want to let this one wait until tomorrow. You can listen to the whole "Big Emotions" series so far ⁠ right here ⭐️.

Narrator: Abbe Opher from Koala Moon & Eric O'Keefe from What If World
Author: Jenna Clarke
Story Themes: Facing Fears, Being Brave, Social Emotional Learning
