About Reading Retro

What started out as an attempt to record stories for our kids quickly devolved into, "What the hell are we reading?!" We decided to continue, recording our reactions as we dive into beloved classic stories without the Disney filter. We're kind of like an audiobook, except more awesome. [We are very aware of copyright regulations and have carefully procured our stories in accordance with US copyright laws!]

   Ch. 0 : Intro

   While our initial goal was to have a story archive for our kids, after only a few minutes of recording we realized that a lot of old stories have not aged well. Instead, we decided to roll with it, recording our first readings of old beloved stories.
