Long ago, when I began telling stories, I’d light a candelabrum at my feet. There in a darkened room the flames would dance across my face and kids loved it, until, of course, schools started to say, “No more, Mr. Bodkin. A kid might go up in flames. You dripped wax on our floor. Leave your portable campfire at home.” Even though I always cleaned up the wax, I stopped doing my candlelight shows.
I still recommend candelight, though, to people listening to my stories, especially the epics. Light a candle. Turn down the lights. Listen and dream.
Something about the flame quickens the mind’s eye.
For instance, Detroit Jewish News reviewed my telling of David and Goliath and said, “With nothing more than his guitar and voice, Odds Bodkin manages to paint a scene more captivating than much of what you see on the big screen.”
It won the Parents’ Choice Gold Award, the Storytelling World Award and the Dove Foundation Award. It’s an hour long.
Beowulf: The Only One just won the Storytelling World Award as well. It was recorded before a live adult audience in Cambridge, MA. It’s an hour and 20 minutes.
You can find lots of long-form stories like this at my download shop. Happy listening!
Sit them down to listen on a good sound system. Odds Bodkin’s famous “sound effects bursts” begin each Little Proto audio adventure.
This isn’t “Once Upon a Time.”
This is roaring wind, made with the human voice. Crickets. Far off dino calls. Three-ton foot falls.
Building underneath, there’s 12-string guitar music.
Then a young dinosaur’s voice. “I’m listening for the hoots of Iguanodons…” Little Proto sings. You can listen here:
So begin all three ultra-kid-friendly Little Proto dinosaur adventure stories. Generations of parents have bought them for their children ages 3 and up.
And now, you can buy them for your kids, too!
No TV required.
3 hours and 20 minutes about a young dinosaur growing up. Good for falling asleep, too.
When Odds Bodkin set out to tell Beowulf, he knew he’d need to create two classic monsters: Grendel and Grendel’s Mother. And musical themes for each on 12-string guitar. Of course, a lovable voice for Beowulf himself was required for contrast.
The result of years of work is Beowulf: The Only One, Bodkin’s award-winning 1 hour and 20 minute tale for adults. Don’t invite the kids to listen because it’s just too horrific in places, but if you’d like a genuine feature-length movie for the mind, download this epic today!
