The Story Pirates are a nationally renowned group of top comedians, musicians, best-selling authors, and incredible teachers with fifteen years of experience creating content that celebrates the imaginations of kids. As parents find themselves with cooped-up students over the coming days and weeks, the Story Pirates are ramping up production on some exciting digital content to entertain and educate kids and families at home.
In addition to the wildly popular Story Pirates podcast, which offers hours and hours of hilarious and engaging episodes based on stories submitted by kids, they are adding new features to the Story Pirates Creator Club, a membership program that provides exclusive creativity-building activities for young fans to do at home.
These initiatives will launch next week as part of the Story Pirates' new and original daily programming for quarantined families:
- The Story Pirates plan to present their first-ever limited feature daily radio show, Story Pirates Radio, featuring fan-favorite songs, play-at-home games, hilarious bits, and listener call-in kid interviews to keep kids busy in between podcast episodes.
- Brand new, live streamed creative writing lessons, called Story Sparks, taught by expert Story Pirates teachers. Their acclaimed common core-aligned curriculum teaches the building blocks of creative writing, including hero story workshops, mystery workshops, expository writing lessons, and more.
Story Pirates already provides the following entertainment for families stuck at home to inspire creativity:
- Creator Club member activities: a subscription service that provides activities and opportunities to create for middle-grade kids at home or in the classroom. Creator Club members gain access to Story Spark activity guides and videos to encourage creative writing, a limited-edition Story Pirates magazine, a Story Pirates notebook to capture great ideas, art and writing collaborations among members, and more.
- Story Pirates Podcast - One of the top 3 kids and family podcasts in the world and winner of the 2020 iHeartRadio award for Best Kids and Family Podcast, the Story Pirates Podcast turns stories written by kids into sketch comedy and songs. Past episodes have featured guest stars like Billy Eichner, Dax Shepard, Claire Danes, David Schwimmer, John Oliver, Lake Bell, and Colin Meloy of the Decemberists. Seasons 1 through 3 (over 100 episodes in all) are available wherever podcasts are heard, with new episodes debuting weekly.
