#206 Story Pirates artistic director LEE OVERTREE chats with Atomic Moms podcast about all things STORY PIRATES, including elementary school creative writing workshops in underserved communities, performances across the country, two young adult books, and an award-winning music album. The New York Times raves, "Whether you're a pirate, a parent, or an elementary school student, the results are theatrical treasure." It's also the crazy popular family friendly podcast we have playing in our car at all times, about a bunch of story pirates who take children’s stories and turn them into sketch comedy or musical performances.

On Atomic Moms podcast, Lee shares: "It is profoundly moving to see what you can do to a child's life by applying your creativity to amplifying their voice." We discover the power of being a student's "co-conspirator" in the classroom, and we learn how Lee went from drumming in a Harlem kindergarten dance class to founding a community of like-minded artists who are changing the lives of children across the country... and making our family's preschool commute a heck of a lot more enjoyable. xx Ellie Knaus
