We need your help to continue making the
Story Pirates Podcast.

Like PBS and other valued forms of free educational media, Story Pirates is currently at risk. If your family relies on our podcast for road trips, a screentime alternative, or creative inspiration for your kids, please consider supporting us now and securing a unique and exciting gift for the kids in your life—a personalized video (or other exciting perks)!

This is the only time we will ever offer these, so get them today while you can!

 “Thank you from the bottom of my mom heart for providing so much creative inspiration and entertainment. Few things make me happier than seeing my kids completely engulfed in creativity, expressing themselves and their ideas in such a pure and genuine way.”

“Story Pirates has become a staple in our home. Every morning and afternoon we listen to the podcast to and from school and every evening we listen to it after reading and my kids are getting ready for bed. My husband is active duty in the Marine Corps and so much of our kids lives is uprooted so when we find a constant in the crazy it really helps with transitions into new places. Story Pirates has done that for our kids. So thank you for being awesome and doing what you do. It makes a difference in our lives and I’m sure in others as well.”

“I just wanted to thank all of the people working on Story Pirates for such an insanely creative, laugh-till-my-face-hurts podcast. My son and I LOVE listening to your episodes and getting lost in the fun, zany worlds you and your listeners create for each one. Thank you for giving kids a place to stretch and value their creativity. I have long believed that kids tell the best stories and have the deepest and most flexible imaginations, and it's wonderful that you have given them an avenue to be proud of those abilities and share them with the world.”

 
Why we need your support now more than ever

We are so excited to return with season 8! At the same time, we want to be honest with our listeners that it’s a really challenging time right now for educational media providers—including kids and family podcasts like Story Pirates. 

First, we’d love to share some good news! We’ve joined forces with Lemonada Media this year as our new network, and they’re bringing fresh resources and energy to the show. We’re thrilled for their support. We’re also grateful for so many of our fans and supporters who have joined Creator Club, our paid subscription service. If you’re a member, your support means the world to us, especially right now. 

But the reality is, we simply need more help from our loyal listeners who tune in week after week to laugh together as a family at the incredible, inexhaustible imaginations of kids. If you’ve ever listened to the credits for our show, you know that a LOT of people work on it. There’s the music team, who scores every episode and writes and produces the songs. There are, of course, the amazing actors, singers, writers, editors, and so many more people who work so hard to put this show out at least once a week. 

Unless we’re able to raise more funds, this season could unfortunately be a short one. We’re so grateful that you’re here listening, welcoming us into your homes, and we’re especially grateful for the tens of thousands of original kids' stories that you send us every year. But right now, we need your help in a new way, and we’re happy to offer these videos and other custom perks as our way of saying THANK YOU.

If you’re reading all of this and you have more significant resources to spare, we’re looking for a limited number of patrons who may want to have a conversation with us about becoming a credited producer. We’d love to speak with you about once-in-a-lifetime perks for you and your family.
