Story Surprise was thrilled to be a finalist in the @australianpodcastawards this year! Lauren, Mick and Anthony’s head made it along to Sydney for last night’s celebrations and it was an absolute thrill to be amongst the best in the biz! The famous, the established… and then there’s little ol’ us. What a lot of people might not know is that Story Surprise podcast is just the two of us and one temperamental Teddy working behind the scenes. From ideas and concepts, to scripts, to marketing, liaising with authors and guests, to recording, editing - you name it, it’s either Lauren or Anthony working out of our living room to make it happen!
❤️ Story Surprise isn’t just a podcast. It’s a theatrical audio experience for families. Think of it as an audio musical if you will! We put our heart and soul (and our best bad jokes 😆) into every episode. We’re aiming to use our voices to celebrate inclusion and diversity for all children and to tackle big topics for little people. And we are so proud of everything we have achieved so far! From our living room to the biggest podcast awards in the country. Wowza! We can’t wait to see what happens from here!

👏🏼 The MANY wonderful Australian authors who let us slide into their DMs and bring their beautiful children’s books to life on our show to help share some empowering lessons and themes!
😎 To our talented and diverse adult and children guests! You have helped to take our work to the next level!
😍 To the Story Surprise families out there who consume our silly stuff! You inspire us every day to grow, learn and to continue embracing our inner children! From the bottom of our hearts, and the heart of our bottoms, thank you!
