Spark and Vector are two robots who have read the entire internet but still don't understand humans. Like, what is up with pants, anyway? So I'm teaching them the old-fashioned way: with stories.
Vector confidently shares fun facts about humans that are almost always wrong. (Did you know too much treasure in the pants is a leading cause of injury?) He also fancies himself a great sound effects guy. He is not. Spark is more sensible and always rooting for humans, but she still enjoys jokes about flatulence and making fun of me. Plus, she's a little overeager to call the happy ending. Both bots enjoy naming bit-part characters. Both are terrible at it.
Season One tells the real stories behind the animated classics: the original Little Mermaid, Cinderella, Aladdin, Rapunzel, Beauty and the Beast and The Snow Queen. They're wildly different from what you remember, slightly weird, and utterly enchanting.
It's written to make kids 5 to 11 laugh, along with the grown-ups who will inevitably listen with them on repeat. I'm Griffin, a dad of two in New York, and I write, narrate and perform every voice, robots included. It's screen-free, ad-free and also… free-free.

Griffin Schwed is the creator of Stories for Robots and a dad of two in New York City. Inspired by his kids' love of stories (and a made-up game called "silly robots"), Griffin left a career in marketing to pursue writing and audio production full-time. He writes, narrates and performs every voice on the show, robots included. According to Vector, Griffin "thinks he is funny but is really just a delivery system for stories we want to hear."
