Hey, Story Pirates podcast listeners, Lee here. Today we have a very special bonus episode for you featuring an interview I did with the incredible singer, composer, and musician John Legend, who just put out his first album for kids and families called My Favorite Dream. You'll even get to hear a couple of the songs from it on today's episode.

All of that, coming up after a few words for the grownups.

I'm very different from everybody.

Confusion is the step before curiosity.

Okay, that's a really funny idea.

We have to send that in.

I find so much joy and fulfillment from songwriting.

I believe all the things in my story.

Human beings are just able to create.

Hey there, welcome back to the show.

Now, you may remember that last week we had an episode about a music manatee.

Remember that guy? He wanted us to form a marching band and had a dark secret.

Well, if you haven't heard it yet, you should because the music manatee was played by none

other than John Legend.

And since I had John in the studio already,

I thought I'd take the opportunity to ask him some questions about his music.

John and I talk about his new album for kids and families,

his experience making and learning about music as a kid,

and we even get some tips from him about how kids can write their own songs.

And, of course, we share a couple of the tracks from the new album, My Favorite Dream.

Enjoy!
