Our Editor's Take

Story Time Animated is a podcast with a unique premise. Storytime animation is where animators transform people's stories into short TV shows. The YouTube channel allows people to watch these animated versions of stories. This podcast offers a different format to enjoy. The stories usually involve young children, making this show fun for younger listeners.

Each episode is its own story-but no matter what, they start the same way. The young listeners learn about the experiences of their pals from all around the world. They hear stories from children in New York, Ireland, or Portugal. Subscribers from all over the world can submit their life story to Story Time Animated.

Story Time Animated allows kids to relate to common thoughts and experiences. For example, "everyone thinks my older sister is perfect" is a common sentiment. There's an episode about a girl who believes her parents prefer her older sister. In another episode, mean boys call two sisters "little losers" for playing with dolls. Hearing this can feel relatable for someone who's experienced something similar. Another storyteller talks about how she wishes she were an only child because she feels like a parent to her little sister.

Many episodes also show how different everyone's lives are. One episode shows listeners what being a billionaire's daughter is like. Another starts with a young woman named Ava getting into a fighting ring to box. Ava's opponent, "the Wrecker," is someone she was not expecting-but she fights bravely.

This podcast will show more young listeners that they're not alone with their experiences. It also teaches them how different others' lives can sometimes be. No matter the lesson, this show offers entertaining, kid-friendly stories. New Story Time Animated episodes come out several times per week.

No One Knows I Live A Fake Life

I had just finished my kpop performance in front of thousands of screaming fans. When I returned to my trailer, I found a strange wedding cake waiting for me. What was that doing here?! Suddenly a guy burst out and rushed towards me! "Marry me Lisa!""I don't even know you!"I flipped him over and pinned him down. Piece of cake for me. Pun intended. I was also a Taekwondo champion. Eventually security rushed in followed by my parents. "Lisa! Are your vocal chords okay?! Did he damage them?!""Moph! Ga offmble. My chords are fine! So's the rest of me if you're wondering.""How long did it take you to bring him down? Better not be longer than 5 seconds. Otherwise I'll have to train you even harder. Taekwondo is all about speed, you know." I rolled my eyes at my parents. They could be so unbelievable sometimes. Hi, my name's Lisa and I'm from South Korea. You'd think being a kpop star and Taekwondo champion at the same time would be a dream. But for me, it was a literal nightmare. Because of my parents, I had to juggle these completely different lives and it was exhausting.One time I even had to do a Vogue interview in the middle of a fight! For many years I managed to scrape by with juggling these two lives, but when I turned sixteen, things reached their boiling point. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hi. I'm Collins, prince of a faraway kingdom called Setia and this is my story of the most bizarre way I found true love. I was born to the two worst parents ever. Dad and Mum were the King and Queen of Setia, and they were the worst the town had ever seen. They shamelessly stole and ate the town's money, and also believed that we were above everyone because we were royals. My brother, Gerald who was two years older than me was exactly like them, ruthless, selfish and a big, empty-headed hunk who was only interested in growing his intimidating biceps and nothing else. "Yes! Sniff all that glory, insurgent!"I came out different though. Every time I got a chance, I helped people even if Mum and Dad didn't like that very much. Once when I was 10, I heard this girl crying by the castle gates. "Someone, anybody. I need help. My mum needs medication and we don't have any money."My brother, Gerald walked up to her and pushed her away from the gates and then he was so rude! "Get away from the castle, peasant. There are doctors all over the village. Go ask them for medication. This isn't a hospital.""I don't have any money for that. The King and Queen took our farmlands away. Please help me.""Get lost!"

"Bella, how many times must I tell you that the guests do not like spies.""But, mom what else do you expect me to do while you are cleaning.""Why is your daughter here again.

Call me weird, but I enjoyed stalking the rich people and just watching how they sipped their tea, dressed in their fancy gowns, powdered their faces and how they enjoyed the best of life at the massage spa. I had this dream of being a brand like Gucci or Louis Vuitton. I believed I was a good stylist, but mom kept telling me to focus on my books and to stop dreaming. Hosted on Acast.
