  • Stories are a big part of the African culture and growing up in the city of Port-Harcourt, these stories shaped my childhood. Times are different now and these bedtime stories which were passed down through generations are not as popular with children as they once were. This podcast aims to bring these stories to the new generation of African children and introduce everyone else to these wonderful stories from the motherland. The lessons and values learnt from these will never be forgotten. Welcome to Stories Mother Told.

Boring Narrator’s voice.

The first thing narrator’s voice is boring; monotonous. No life. I started the first story and listened and just couldn’t continue; for the narrator’s voice was not engaging, to me.
