About the show

Why are we telling stories to robots?

Well, because they have so many questions. Spark and Vector have read the entire internet, but they’re still wildly confused about humans. To help them out, I’m telling them stories: some of humanity’s most timeless tales. (Hi, I’m Griffin, the show’s storyteller.)

In Season One, we’re diving into stories you know, or at least you think you do: the original versions of classic tales made famous by animated movies. They’re pretty different from the versions you grew up with. My two robot friends have no idea what’s coming, and honestly, you probably don’t either.

Get ready to laugh as the robots ask questions, interrupt, and joke their way to understanding humans a little better.

The rules of the show

• The original story, honestly told. The strange parts stay in, handled with a light touch and a lot of robot commentary.
• Funny for kids, funny for parents. Built for listening together.
• The real history comes along. Every episode names its story’s true author and era.

The human behind it

Stories for Robots is written, narrated, and produced by me, Griffin Schwed: storyteller, dad, and, per Vector’s files, “a delivery system for stories.” I wanted to know what happens when you tell some of humanity’s most timeless stories to an audience that has never met a human. The answer, it turns out, is that it’s ridiculous. These robots have a lot of questions.
