A New World - Help Us Build It!

Hey friends!

I recently held a virtual meeting where listeners and I started building a brand NEW WORLD for future podcast stories. This world will be completely different from The Valley or any other place I've created before. And YOU get to help design it!

At our first meeting, we came up with some amazing ideas.

This time we're focusing on LOCATIONS: cities, towns, forests, mountains, caves, abandoned castles, or any special place you can imagine. Think about what makes your location unique or interesting!

You can also share ideas for creatures, characters, or magical plants. Once we have enough locations, I'll draw a complete map of our New World and write new episodes that include all these ideas.

To join the meeting, head to patreon.com/kidstoriespodcast and subscribe for just $1 a month. You'll get all the details there.

Thanks to everyone who participated in our first meeting. I can't wait to see what we create together!

Adios!
