Storytime with Kray ·

2025/09/02

Send us a text by Richard Johnson | 1621 Tom Thumb is born the size of his dad’s thumb thanks to a little magic from Merlin. Tiny but fearless, he charges headfirst into a world far too big for him. He gets swallowed by a pudding, eaten by a cow, and still finds a way to come out ahead. From mouse-back rides to wild escapes, he keeps proving that size means nothing when you have brains and guts. By the end, he is not just surviving. He is a knight of the realm and a legend in his own ri...

Tired of living in constant worry, he sets out for advice and ends up with the Farmer's Wife, who gives him a whole new perspective. One quick boil later, Humpty is no longer fragile.

2025/08/21

Send us a text by Aesop | 1484 Step into the world of Aesop's Fables, where animals talk, schemes unravel, and human nature gets put under the microscope. The slow-and-steady Tortoise schools the cocky Hare. A slick Fox throws an Ass under the bus to save his own tail. Greed wrecks everything in the tale of the Golden Goose, and a thirsty Pigeon learns the hard way that diving headfirst doesn't always end well. These stories might be old, but the lessons hit just as hard today. Th...

Send us a text by Peter Christen Asbjørnsen and Jørgen Moe | 1843 Three hungry billy goats, all named Gruff, need to cross a bridge to reach greener pastures.

Ep 3: The Emperor's New Clothes

Storytime with Kray ·

2025/08/07

Send us a text by Hans Christian Andersen | 1837 Welcome to the ridiculous saga of a fashion-obsessed Emperor who gets absolutely played by two scam-artist weavers. They promise him a “magical” fabric that only smart or worthy people can see. Spoiler: there is no fabric. Still, everyone nods along like it's couture on parade, terrified to admit they see nothing. Ministers fake it. Townsfolk cheer. The Emperor struts around in his birthday suit. Then a kid, too young to care about politi...

Send us a text by Charles Perrault | 1889 Get ready to dive into the beautifully messed-up tale of Cinderella, a kind soul stuck under the thumb of her nightmare stepmom and two goblins in wigs. Just when it looks like scrubbing floors is her forever plan, a little magic flips the script. Rags to ballgown, pumpkin to limo, and one night to make it count.

2025/07/06

Send us a text Welcome to Storytime with Kray, where public domain meets public opinion—and everything is read in a voice so smooth it could sell overpriced whiskey or convince a goose to pay rent. This episode is just a quick hello, a little intro to what this podcast is all about.
