Story Pirates

Have you ever heard of a ‘parody’? It’s a kind of storytelling where the writer takes something from the real world, and then they imitate it while making some of the details bigger, funnier or exaggerated. Today’s new story, by two siblings from Canada named Bohdi and Rose, is a perfect example.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
