About this episode

Steph of TTRPG Kids and Phil of Kid Stories Podcast adventure in Dogopolis as DAK the delivery robot and Tillo the armadillo dust wizard. Sniff the Cat leads them to outer space and a final encounter with Dogzilla!

Lessons include: Being friendly is often worthwhile; we all need help when taking on big tasks.

Steph runs and writes the TTRPGkids website, an ENnie awarded web resource with over 400 articles and posts about tabletop RPGs for kids! They've published many TTRPGs for young players and have used game elements in educational settings to help students connect with the material. 

Phil Bechtel writes all the episodes of the Kid Stories Podcast where there are stories of ninjas, and dragons and talking sandwiches and fart jokes and a bunch of other fun stuff. He just started publishing two other fun podcasts: Dungeon Crashers and Captain Maxx and the Starfighters.
