Storypillar? What's That?
Storypillar is...
Storypillar is a podcast for kids and their grownups. Together with Sneak, Bean, and Meg, we’ll tackle the sticky situations kids face as they grow and change. To guide us, we’ll explore stories from all over the world and pick up advice from our listeners along the way.
​
Why???
​
Kids need diverse stories! And social-emotional support! Storypillar’s mission is to provide an engaging, accessible resource that makes learning about different perspectives and navigating ALL the big feelings (even the unpleasant ones) fun and comfortable for kids and their grownups.
​
What's with the Name?
Sneak, one of the co-hosts, is a caterpillar who loves stories.
It’s also drawn from the parallel between caterpillars, stories, and kids: they all start off small, then grow and change into something new and incredible!
How Does it Work?
We publish episodes on the first three Mondays of every month:
1) A Sneak Attack!!! Mini-episode on the first Monday:
Sneak shares interesting facts about the country or culture of the month.
2) A Full Episode on the second Monday: We check in to see what sticky social situation we're tackling and “blast off” to our country of the month for a story. Then, a listener shares their "Unstick Trick" advice for managing our sticky situation.
3) A Bean-o-meter Check Mini-episode on the third Monday:
Bean leads a feelings check with chill music and shares more tips for navigating our sticky situation of the month.
And on the extra long months, we'll drop a Sparky Shorts! These are our bonus mini-episodes featuring Sneak’s pet giant chicken, Sparky. She'll choose her two favorite things from the month’s episodes and use them to tell a silly story.
