Artist Biography

Listening Pond is a Family / Children's Podcast that offers original stories for children AND the adults who love them. With seasonal themes, original orchestrations, cover artwork for each story, and thought provoking concepts, it’s perfect for listeners of all ages. Each episode is its own story.

This show has three co-creators, who also happen to be relatives – two siblings (Eryn and Eric) and their cousin (Asa). Each episode of Listening Pond is a separate and unique story complete with its own soundtrack and cover art. Eryn and Asa take turns writing and narrating their own stories, and Eric composes the music and sound design for each of their stories. Asa creates a piece of cover artwork for each story.

Artist Statement

Our intent is to create thoughtful, interesting stories that can be enjoyed by children of ALL ages. While our primary goal is to entertain, we also like the idea of putting something positive into the world, so many of our stories address challenges our kids face every day – confronting fear, embracing difference, and managing jealousy to name a few.

Our goal is to create a program that both children AND the adults will enjoy, making it a more engaging experience for EVERYONE!
