Designed for parents to find out more about the stories told by Martyn Kenneth, through a deep dive conversation.



The podcast excerpt introduces a bedtime story called "The Boy Who Could Borrow Time" by Martyn Kenneth. The story itself tells the tale of a boy named Theo who discovers an antique pocket watch that allows him to manipulate time. Theo initially relishes the power, but as he uses the watch more often, he finds himself entangled in consequences, facing a shadow that represents the time he has borrowed, and losing his ability to genuinely connect with others. Eventually, he learns that controlling time has robbed him of experiencing life, and he returns the borrowed moments, embracing the natural flow of time instead.
