Our producer is Miss Lynn. Character art by Ana Stretcu, episode art by Lynn Hickernell, podcast art by Jason O’Keefe, and theme song by Craig Martinson.

Curiosity begins with a simple question, and What If World-Stories for Kids turns those questions into delightful, original adventures. Hosted by Mr. Eric, this podcast spins the wild and wonderful "what if" ideas sent in by young listeners into full-length audio stories. Each episode is a journey into a uniquely crafted universe where anything is possible, blending gentle comedy with heartfelt moments that families can enjoy together. The magic lies in its collaborative spirit-the stories are directly inspired by the imaginative queries of children, making every narrative a surprise. Parents and caregivers are invited to submit their own child's puzzling or playful scenario, which might just become the spark for the next tale. Through these engaging fictions, the show naturally encourages creative thinking and a resilient, problem-solving spirit. Tuning in means entering a space where a question about dinosaurs eating pizza or a cloud made of jelly can unfold into a memorable, character-driven plot. It’s more than just a story time podcast; it’s an interactive celebration of a child’s perspective, lovingly produced by Eric O'Keeffe and Starglow Media. The result is a consistently charming and funny listen that respects the intelligence and wonder of its young audience, one "what if" at a time.
