Tell Me An Old Captain Story!

<p>Hi, my name is Bert Rock, and I am the creator of this podcast, which is a storytelling time for kids. It all started back during the pandemic, when we were all getting locked down, quarantined, wearing masks and washing our groceries. My best friends had a five year old son named Simon at the time, and a baby, Miles who was about a year old then. They were working from home, schooling from home and going bonkers from home. I lived a mile away did what I could to help out by taking Miles for walks in his stroller on my lunch breaks. After work, I'd&nbsp; take Simon to the pool in that crazy and challenging summer of 2020, and it was there that these stories were born. Simon and I had been playing pirates and sea monsters at the pool one day when he got tired of splashing around and asked me to tell him a story.</p><p><br></p><p>That day, I made up a story on the spot, with a character I called, "Old Captain," and now, every day since, Simon and his brother Miles will say to me, "Tell me an Old Captain story!" So here we are. &nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>My goal is to have a new episode every week, though sometimes I may not, but rest assured, I am always working on original stories filled with whimsy, weirdness and fun, like the ones I tell Simon and Miles. I Hope you enjoy!</p><p><br></p><p>If you enjoy the show please consider donating by tapping the link below.
