Children’s bedtime stories - free podcasts
November 7th, 2007
Reading bedtime stories to children can be a great pleasure - and sometimes a bit of a chore, especially when you’re tired, and it’s at the end of a long day. I found these audio stories on the Times Online website - classic fairytales read by celebrity story-tellers - and I am going to download them all if I can, or at the very least begin to stream them at bedtime for the kids. The complete set of stories - produced in association with Ford Galaxy and by Classic FM for the Times Online includes:
- Robert Lindsay reading Rumpelstiltskin
- Ashley Jensen (from Extras) reading Cinderella
- Maureen Lipman reading The Gingerbread Man
- Julian Clary reading Puss in Boots
- Shane Ritchie reading The Tin Soldier
- Samantha Morton reading The Princess & The Pea
- Greta Scacchi reading Rapunzel
- Miranda Richardson reading Little Red Riding Hood
- Imelda Staunton reading Alice in Wonderland
- Sanjeev Bhaskar reading The Ugly Duckling
- Tom Baker reading Aladdin
- Jack Davenport reading Jack and The Beanstalk
- Tamsin Outhwaite reading The Little Match Girl
- Geoffrey Palmer reading Tinderbox…
…and many more besides. Now, I enjoy bringing the stories I read to life, but having listen to a couple of these already, these really are wonderful productions and will really provide a special story-time at bedtime or on a car journey…

My family has recently discovered Fun Radio on DAB and on the Internet. Their bedtime hour is the business.
They play rather eclectic mix of Disney, old lullabies and classical/easy listening versions of old rock, pop and indie classics punctuated with Aesop’s Fables and Thomas the Tank Engine stories.
One bedtime hour we listened to Jimmi Hendrix Little Wing, Stone Roses Fool’s Gold and Abba’s dancing Queen. It’s become a bit of a bedtime addiction playing guess that tune.
