A magnetic, musical manatee (John Legend) tries to convince the Story Pirates to form a marching band, but is he really who he says he is?

Michael Haynie and written by Malachy, a 7 year old from Pennsylvania, and “The Audition,” a story about the trials and tribulations of putting on a brand new musical, written by a 10 year old from Massachusetts named Nora.  Grownups, you can access the ad-free version of the show by visiting storypirates.com/creatorclub, or subscribing right in Apple Podcasts.
