CIRCLE ROUND from WBUR
Created and produced by parents of young children, WBUR's Circle Round podcast adapts folktales from around the world into sound- and music-rich radio plays for kids ages 3 to 103. Each episode explores universal themes like friendship, persistence, creativity, and generosity, and ends with an activity that inspires a deeper conversation between children and grown-ups.
Eric Shimelonis and Rebecca Sheir.
Beloved voices from the stage, screen and podcast/public-radio worlds bring these stories to life with the help of narrator, writer, and veteran public radio host/reporter Rebecca Sheir. Eric Shimelonis, composer for the stage and screen, creates original music for each story.
Circle Round has earned numerous honors, including a Parents' Choice Gold Award, Webby nominations, and featured spots at the The UK International Radio Drama Festival and HEAR Now Festival. Circle Round was the recipient of a major grant from the Henry Luce Foundation.
