The Original Little Mermaid, Part 1

The Little Mermaid, adapted from Hans Christian Andersen's 1837 original and told to two robots hearing it for the first time. A funny storytelling podcast for kids 5 to 11 and their grown-ups.

In Part 1, the youngest mermaid princess finally turns fifteen, swims to the surface, and saves a prince from a shipwreck. Then she makes a very big decision. Vector insists on doing his own underwater sound effects, and suggests putting the half-drowned prince in an enormous bowl of rice.

Part 2 is out now too.
