Why April Eight?

An innocent world of delight...

Hooray! Your family is heading for delight. April Eight Songs & Stories is a charming original fairytale podcast series for the whole family. Listen together as a lovely green world of wonder full of humble gnomes, sparkling fairies and grouchy trolls, mischievous woodland creatures and magical butterflies who are more than they appear to be, take you on adventures where everyday kids, tricky witches, lost crowns and fearless queens encounter magical potions and wondrous journeys. Giggle, laugh out loud, think a little deeper, smile – and get ready for your kids to ask, “Can we hear it again!” For on the April Eight Songs & Stories Podcast, unexpected heroes take the day in pursuit of life’s simple truth: Love conquers all and will always find a way. Start with Episode 1, and let the fun roll on from there.

The first 3 stories from the April Eight Songs & Stories Podcast all together became The Jemi Series. Listen in and you’ll meet a brave girl and her patient mother (who knew Jemi’s mom knew how to talk to fairies?!), help find a lost crown, and meet some delightfully sweet, funny and mischievous characters along the way…

iTunes Review

“I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: It’s almost unfair the secret weapon April has in her back pocket. At the beginning of every episode of her April Eight Song & Stories Podcast, she breaks out her beautiful singing voice, and it’s impossible to not be enchanted as the rest of the episode plays…. April is a gifted writer, penning original folk and fairy tales for her show.”
