Bedtime Stories with R.A. Spratt

  • Summary

  • This is a weekly podcast of funny stories for kids. There are side-splitting versions of my own fractured fairy tales. Also short stories from some of my best-selling books, featuring characters from 'The Adventures of Nanny Piggins' and 'Friday Barnes, Girl Detective'. The stories are perfect for bedtime, long car rides or even if you're just stuck waiting a really long time at the doctor's office. They're written for 7-11 year olds but these are tales the whole family can enjoy. The silliness is ageless. I hope you enjoy listening to this as much as I enjoy recording it. After years of being a children's author, typing away in my office with only my goldfish for company, I was bursting to tell my stories out-loud and with lots of silly voices! So please - sit back, get comfy and enjoy some amazing, some silly and some just plain ludicous tales direct from my imagination to you.

I love this podcast and Christmas 🎄 perfect combination

I love all the episodes and Christmas🎄 it is the perfect combination. I think everyone will love it. It is worth listening to because I listen to it every night. I prefer listening than reading 📖 it is much more soothing. Plus there are so many episodes it is probably over 1 days worth.

R.A. Spratt Is Hilarious

I love the high quality of the story plots and the witty humour is side cracking. I highly recommend this as a bedtime story - or as anything, really.

Greatest Podcast Ever

I absolutely love R.A Spratt and always listen to this podcast. The voices, storyline and the creativity of R.A Spratt is delightful. I’ve listened to every episode at least 8 times and they never get old. I definitely think that this is an incredible podcast and definitely recommend it for long car trips, bedtime, and just pure entertainment. Thankyou R.A. Spratt
