Author: Tal Kelly May 4, 2021 Duration: 16:30
Today, we hear from Story On, a podcast about creating and sharing stories. Laura talks about how she created a silly story about friendship. Then, she shares the story "Dotty and Stripes Forever." 
 
Dotty and Stripes are a mismatched pair of socks. Stripes gets tired of the same old thing and decides to take off on an epic adventure. Things go wrong almost immediately but, lucky for Stripes, Dotty will do anything to help his best friend. Are they just two stray socks destined for the garbage or the perfect pair? Find out in this foot-warming tale.
 
After the episode, choose from a sewing or a writing activity. 

Ever find yourself searching for the right words when a child is grappling with a huge feeling? Big Emotions: Kids Listen Mashups About Feelings offers a gentle, creative space for those conversations. Curated by Tal Kelly, this limited series brings together favorite voices from the Kids Listen network for a unique audio experience. Instead of lectures, each episode is a crafted mashup, weaving together original story clips and thoughtful reflections around a pair of connected emotions. The idea is to give shape and sound to the internal world, helping young listeners identify what's swirling inside them-whether it's the tight coil of fear or the warm swell of bravery. For instance, one installment hosted by Eric O'Keefe of What If World explores exactly that pairing, using imaginative storytelling to frame these feelings as part of a shared human adventure. It’s designed for kids to engage with directly, but parents and caregivers will likely find it just as useful, picking up language and perspectives to support emotional growth. This seven-part podcast unfolds with new episodes released on Tuesdays and Thursdays, making it an easy, regular touchpoint for families. By presenting feelings not as problems to solve but as territories to explore, this series becomes a valuable tool for building empathy and self-awareness, one heartfelt mashup at a time.
