About this listen

The Lyrical Literacy podcast delivers timeless stories and poems through the science-backed power of music. Music, poems and stories are exercise for the brain. Each episode presents carefully selected fairy tales, myths, poems, and lullabies from around the world, enhanced through innovative audio techniques based on neuroscientific research.

Developed by Humanitarians AI, this research-based program leverages the fact that music engages more brain regions simultaneously than almost any other activity, creating multimodal learning experiences that target specific cognitive and linguistic skills. Our unique approach combines traditional storytelling with strategic musical elements to maximize comprehension, retention, and neural connectivity in developing minds.

Each production is meticulously crafted using humans + AI. AI-assisted techniques to optimize pacing, musical accompaniment, ideation, and emotional resonance—all designed to foster deeper language processing while maintaining high engagement levels. Perfect for parents, educators, and children seeking content that entertains while developing critical literacy foundations.

  • Old Sultan
    Jan 5 2026

    Old Sultan was faithful and true But his teeth were gone, his years were through

    The shepherd thought, “Tomorrow he’ll go” But his wife said, “No, let him stay, you know”

    Sultan may be old, his teeth all gone But he’s served us well, he’s brave and strong One more chance is all he needs To prove his worth with loyal deeds

    Poor Sultan lay by, feeling sad and low He heard the words, he’d have to go

    But off he went to his friend, the wolf With a plan to stay – a clever gulf

    The wolf said, “Sultan, here’s what we’ll do— Tomorrow I’ll grab the child from you You chase me down and play the hero Then your master will love you more than a year ago”

    Sultan may be old, his teeth all gone But he’s served us well, he’s brave and strong One more chance is all he needs To prove his worth with loyal deeds

    So the wolf ran off with the child in tow Sultan chased fast, putting on a show

    The shepherd cried, “Sultan, you’re bold and true” And gave him food and a cushion too

    The wolf came back, grinning wide “Now let me in to steal some pride Just turn away when I grab a sheep— A little reward for secrets to keep”

    But Sultan may be old, with teeth all gone Still, he’ll stay loyal, fierce, and strong With a wise old bark and a clever plan He won’t betray his master’s hand

    So Sultan warned the shepherd in time And the wolf got smacked for his little crime

    Now angry and sore, the wolf did declare “I’ll have revenge—this isn’t fair”

    The wolf sent a boar to challenge a fight But Sultan went with his friend, tail high and bright

    The cat with her limp and her tail held tall Made the wolf and boar feel two feet small

    Sultan may be old, his teeth all gone But with friends like this, he’ll fight till dawn For in his heart, loyal and true He stands his ground, like he used to do

    The boar ran off with a scratch and a squeal And the wolf climbed high like a frightened eel

    Sultan laughed as he walked away With his cat by his side, both bold and brave

    Sultan may be old, his teeth all gone But he’s fierce, he’s clever, he’s never withdrawn With his friend, the cat, he’ll face the fray A loyal heart that’ll never stray

  • Little Boy Blue,
    Jan 4 2026

    Little Boy Blue, come, blow your horn! The sheep's in the meadow, the cow's in the corn. Where's the little boy that looks after the sheep? Under the haystack, fast asleep!

    The sheep have wandered, the cow’s having fun, Munching on corn in the bright midday sun. The barnyard’s a mess, the field’s in dismay, While Little Boy Blue sleeps the day away.

    Little Boy Blue, come, blow your horn! The sheep's in the meadow, the cow's in the corn. Where's the little boy that looks after the sheep? Under the haystack, fast asleep!

    They nudge him, they poke him, they moo in his ear, But Little Boy Blue just won’t appear. His hat pulled down, his blanket tight, Dreaming through the noon and night.

    Little Boy Blue, come, blow your horn! The sheep's in the meadow, the cow's in the corn. Where's the little boy that looks after the sheep? Under the haystack, fast asleep!

    Now the rooster crows, the sun’s sinking low, But where could that boy with the horn be, though? With hay in his hair and dreams in his head,

    Little Boy Blue, come, blow your horn! The sheep's in the meadow, the cow's in the corn. Where's the little boy that looks after the sheep? Under the haystack, fast asleep!

  • Joy to the World (Newton)
    Dec 6 2025

    Joy to the World

    Joy to the world the Lord is come Let earth receive her King Let every heart prepare Him room And heaven and nature sing And heaven and nature sing And heaven and heaven and nature sing

    Joy to the earth the Savior reigns Let men their songs employ While fields and floods rocks hills and plains Repeat the sounding joy Repeat the sounding joy Repeat repeat the sounding joy

    No more let sins and sorrows grow Nor thorns infest the ground He comes to make His blessings flow Far as the curse is found Far as the curse is found Far as far as the curse is found

    He rules the world with truth and grace And makes the nations prove The glories of His righteousness And wonders of His love And wonders of His love And wonders wonders of His love
