This week, Interlochen Arts Discovery day campers visited IPR to learn all about how a recording studio works.
They wrote their own original fairy tales, and then they came to Studio A to record their fairy tales for broadcast.
These fairy tales have everything: action, adventure, intrigue, and characters including Jasper the Ghost, Princess Lily Belle Galileo II, Rudolph the Red-Gemmed Chair, a bacon-eating dragon and Evil Princess Phiona (with a "ph" to show she's evil, of course).
Hear each group individually on demand below, or hear all of the stories together in IPR's Studio A podcast.
Each group's fairy tale will be featured on Classical IPR Fridays at 9 a.m. in the coming weeks during Classical Storytime with Kate Botello.
