Podcasts by Tales
Nanny Bea lives in a cottage she calls Dave and likes nothing more than telling stories, except maybe rich tea biscuits (which are far from rich and taste nothing of tea). Crammed full of professional character voices to engage, inspire and occupy young minds (4-10 in human years) with stories and banter written to uphold values such as kindness and respect, oh and silliness, lots and lots of silliness. We pretend the episodes range from 8-25 minutes to give you variety not because we lack the self control to do otherwise.
