Stellar Top 10 PSP Episodes - PSP51

Send us Fan Mail Welcome back to Planet Storytime!! We are very happy to present a long overdue STELLAR podcast, our first Stellar podcast in almost a year! Our Stellar episodes have been some of our most popular and they’re awesome for long road trips, long walks with headphones, lazy days, rainy days, sick days and any other time our listeners need more than just one episode. For this edition, we have bundled up our TOP 10 most popular episodes to date (in reverse order): Crow and Beetle (PSP4) Stablefree, Equipoise and the Mud Cave Adventure (PSP21) The Victor Surf Theme (PSP28) The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher (PSP22) The Misdirection - A Crow and Beetle Story (PSP26) The Selfish Giant (PSP18) The Queen Bee (PSP2) The Emperor’s New Clothes (PSP24) Rikki-Tikki-Tavi (PSP32) The Tale of Peter Rabbit (PSP1) (TOTAL RUN TIME: 130 MINUTES!!) And while this feature isn’t always easy to find on some podcast apps, each of these stories have been broken into separate chapters , allowing you to hone in on the particular episode you want to hear which may be helpful for such a long podcast:) We have truly enjoyed going back to listen to some of these stories while pondering how far we have come as podcasters with content we believe is some of the best available for kids today. With so much children’s content coming in the form of YouTube/Netflix/Disney videos, we remain firm believers that audio-only content helps spark a child’s creative imagination, empowering them to create the visuals in their minds that accompany our stories. Big thanks to our listeners worldwide - you help push us to new levels of creativity, inspiring our original content and our newer serial/episodic stories with Beatru and Livelong. And thank you for your endless support to this point!

***The Beatru Chronicles - Act I***(Chapters 1 thru 6) - PSP44

Send us Fan Mail Welcome back to Planet Storytime! Four months ago, Thomas and Paxton took a chance on a new story model for the podcast, releasing the first of six chapters for their new serial story, The Beatru Chronicles - Act I As much as our production team has used the PSP podcast format as a creative sandbox for compelling children's content, and done so with a thriving and growing fanbase worldwide, we knew that Beatru's story, written to appeal to the older kids in our audience, might completely miss the mark with the bulk of our fanbase, especially those who have kept our very first episode, The Tale of Peter Rabbit - PSP 1 , our all-time most popular episode But our team recognized that there are several children's podcasts currently available that appeal to younger children, with often less ambitious and mature content than Beatru, and we felt we needed to use our imaginations to create something that stretched our own comfort levels a bit, as we surely have with our fanbase, to create something wholly compelling, unique and sustainable beyond a single episode/podcast that leaned on Thomas and Paxton's strengths as writers and composers of original material And as we have many times with TM Ganim, we leaned on JS Blue to provide us an original story that was unique to Planet Storytime, just like Crow & Beetle has been over the past year and a half Once we began working on The Beatru Chronicles with JSB, we knew we were creating something very special And while Beatru's amazing stories may continue to be a bit of strange narrative for some of our fans, support has grown significantly since we published the first chapter on December 6th, 2020 To THOSE countless fans that have continued to support Beatru, this podcast is for YOU! You no longer have to hop between PSP34, PSP35, PSP37, PSP38, PSP40 and PSP43 to listen to Act I as all are now combined into this podcast, with chapter markers: Chapter 1 - The Clearing Chapter 2 - The River and the Turtle Chapter 3 - Stampede Chapter 4 - Colonel Rhys Chapter 5 - Friends in High Places Chapter 6 - Clarity and Purpose And if you haven't given Beatru's story a chance to this point, we encourage you to do so now! Clocking in at exactly 90 minutes, Act I works well for long road trips, rainy days and even family listening night, as many of you have told us you like to do a few times each month:) A big shout of thanks to Jane Owen who helped provide just enough spark to our production team to help keep us believing in our story and our beloved character! And more thanks to JS Blue for his wonderful story (w/ an assist to TM Ganim for his creative consulting on this project) Please enjoy the full length version of The Beatru Chronicles - Act I and stay tuned for Act II which is already in production for release later this year, perhaps by early summer! In the meantime, and for those fans who long for an awesome TM Ganim story, our very next episode will be the next TM Ganim story he's written and we can't wait to hear it, produce and release it as soon as possible! Please visit our new website: https://planet-storytime-podcast.podsite.io/ We'll be back soon with more amazing stories so stay tuned and please tell your friends and family about us!!

Thomas and Paxton deliver one of their best-ever episodes to date! Ever since "Chapter 1 - The Clearing", Beatru has sought answers to a growing list of big, questions, explaining how she passed thru the Enigmatic Egress into the strange world she awoke to in the wood But each answer has raised more and more questions! Chapter 6 will answer some of the biggest she has about many things, but will leave us all seeking ACT II! To all of our Beatru fans around the world - THANK YOU for your love and support! And at the request of many of you, we will be releasing all six chapters as a single, Stellar podcast in the weeks ahead with all of ACT I in a single podcast!

***The Beatru Chronicles*** (Chapter 2~The River and the Turtle) - PSP35

Send us Fan Mail Welcome back to Planet Storytime! We return this week with the second chapter from The Beatru Chronicles - The River and the Turtle We left off in chapter one with Beatru and Queen Kozima heading out and on to the Great Plain, having escaped from the Red Men in the forest where Beatru awoke from her dream In chapter two, we start to understand that Beatru's situation is much larger than she realized at first and that things are only now starting to get really interesting for her Thomas Mitchell and Pax Stanely deliver another stellar presentation as they continue JS Blue's strange but gorgeous story about 9 year old, Beatru, a young girl in need of water and a quick path back to her brother, Dante We recognize that this recent shift to slightly older content may have chased off some of our loyal listeners and we apologize if the shift was, perhaps, too abrupt, but we intend to return with another younger child's story prior to the release of chapter three from The Beatru Chronicles Planet Storytime has been a wonderful sandbox of experimentation for children's content, but we try to be as mindful as we can to our fans and the parents of our fans If you have questions, comments, concerns or complements, please remember to reach out to us at planet.storytime@gmail.com Thank you as always for your continued support!

***The Beatru Chronicles*** (Chapter 1~The Clearing) - PSP34

Send us Fan Mail Welcome back to Planet Storytime for a new podcast! We are happy to present the first chapter in our new original serial, The Beatru Chronicles, written by JS Blue Beatru is a 9 year old girl who is just like any other 9 year old She has a big brother who she adores, she loves lemonade and her favorite band, Sun Tribe 7 One day she awakens to find herself in a strange new place with mind-boggling challenges that will push her into often quick and hard decisions, each with consequences Although she is only 9 years old, Beatru is a brave and adventerous child who uses her intellect and wittiness to navigate challenges with as much strength and grace as possible Her journeys will take us many places on a huge, epic stage We truly hope you enjoy her story as much as we have enjoyed making it! We will leave the rest of the details to Thomas Mitchell and Pax Stanley who deliver another stellar podcast episode This is our first project with JS Blue, a longtime friend of TM Ganim NOTES: - This episode dives straight into the story, bypassing our usual introduction and breathing exercise - We will continue to occasionally produce more traditional PSP-style stories for our younger fans while maintaining a primary focus on the serial model of storytelling Please submit any questions, comments, etc., to planet.storytime@gmail.com And thank you for your patience as PSP34 took a few weeks longer than anticipated to publish We do anticipate a much speedier publication schedule in 2021 We also hope you enjoy The Beatru Chronicles !

A Crow & Beetle Thanksgiving (PSP13 replay) - PSP33

Send us Fan Mail Welcome back to Planet Storytime! In this episode of the podcast, we are presenting our Thanksgiving episode from last year, A Crow & Beetle Thanksgiving Part of the decision to re-run PSP13 is tied to our current production work for our new original series, The Beatru Chronicles , which we'll be releasing with PSP34 in little over a week (more details on that below), and part is tied to the fact that we consider this to be one of our very best episodes, with two of Thomas and Paxton's favorite characters, Crow and Beetle So if you missed this episode last year, please give it a listen this year! We're also well aware of the fact that we are behind schedule with new content - we apologize for the delay As we've mentioned in the past, the Planet Storytime Podcast has been largely a content experiment for our production team as we've worked hard to understand what our continually growing audience wants from the show And given the amount of time we put into producing the show, we want to make sure that our efforts are tying back well to our fans' main interests Over the past 14 months since our inception, we have produced famous works from famous authors and we have produced original content The feedback for both story types has been equally positive But given the amount of time needed to produce our podcasts, we've opted to focus strictly on our own original content, which requires far less development/modernization time We're also moving to a new story-telling model with The Beatru Chronicles - a recurring, serial show with each podcast episode produced as single chapters from a much larger story we've been working on the past several months This will not only help improve our publishing frequency but provide cliff-hangers, longer story arcs and help streamline our production schedule Most importantly, this shift in content will help us produce better and better podcasts We will still occasionally produce one-offs with original content, like our Crow & Beetle stories, but our long-term plan is to focus largely on The Beatru Chronicles and other long-term series We'd love to share more about Beatru and her adventures but would prefer to save all of that for PSP34 Suffice it to say that Beatru should appeal to our 6-and-up listeners (and hopefully most of adult listeners) who love epic adventures in the vein of C.S Lewis, J.R.R Tolkien, and J.K We want to thank all of you once again for your endless support - we know you want more content, faster, and it is coming! We feel cautiously confident that The Beatru Chronicles and continued focus on original content will be well-received by our fanbase and intend to have PSP34 published on Black Friday Stay tuned!

Rikki~Tikki~Tavi - PSP32

Send us Fan Mail Welcome back to Planet Storytime!! In this episode of the podcast, we are proud to present Rikki-Tikki-Tavi , by Rudyard Kipling Many know and love this story, and it has been adapted many times For Thomas and Paxton, the need to stick as closely to the original story as possible was important, given how well it is written We did make a few changes but none of these impact the flow of the story If this is your first time hearing about Rikki the Mongoose, prepare for a very dramatic, exciting story about bravery, and putting others first! This is the longest single-story podcast in PSP's history and is also one of the scarier stories we've done We would encouarge our parent-friends to consider this for any kids under age 6 We have some exciting new material coming out in the next few weeks - stay tuned in for that in the next few weeks!

However You Be & Music from The Wonderful Pump - PSP31

Send us Fan Mail Welcome back to Planet Storytime! Today marks our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY! Hard to believe 12 months have passed since we released PSP1 !

Send us Fan Mail Welcome back to Planet Storytime! In this episode of the podcast, Thomas Mitchell and Paxton Stanley deliver one of L Frank Baum's often overlooked classics, The Wonderful Pump , a story that dramatically illustrates how greed taints best possible outcomes and the crucial need to remain fully mindful when opportunity presents itself Once again, we would like to express our gratitude to all of our loyal listeners worldwide! Our audience continues to grow each week and the outpouring of support humbles the entire PSP team! THANK YOU!! Housekeeping: - We're less than two weeks away from our 1 year anniversary, and as we head into our second year, we have exciting changes coming, including producing 100% all-original content, and diving deeper into the history of Planet Storytime - Before we make the change to all-original content, we have a handful of children's classics we intend to produce, including at least a pair of Rudyard Kipling's most famous works - Given challenges with Covid-19, distributed work, digital learning, etc., our production schedule has lagged behind our intended plans for 2020; we promise that our publication frequency will increase back to 2-3 podcasts/months as soon as possible - Our much anticipated website will finally roll out in the next few weeks as well We could literally spend 1000 words expressing our gratitude for your support but we know the best 'thank you' back to all PSP fans is to get more content into everyone's ears Our first year was largely an experiment to gauge interest levels and overall sustainability Suffice it to say that the overwhelmingly positive feedback and subscriptions have convinced us to continue making podcasts indefinitely!

We are back and happy to provide another TM Ganim story and a great story to help kick off the summer with The Victors Go To The Pool! Whether we look different, talk different or stand apart in any way from those around us, it's important to embrace who we are - bask in it, and celebrate ourselves as the one-of-a-kind, unique human beings we all are We all eventually learn that we cannot always please everyone, and recognizing that helps us understand that worrying about such things limits our ability to be the happiest version of ourselves we can be This is another great TM story that teaches us to stand up for ourselves and to ignore the doubters!
