About the Scriptwriters

Greg and Pinch Lee are the husband and wife team behind Captain Fun Productions. They first met in the early ‘90s while working together on the Peabody and Emmy award-winning PBS children’s TV show Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? Greg was smitten immediately. Pinch was also smitten though much, much…MUCH later, and still refuses to say exactly when it finally happened for her (but it DID eventually happen).
With their combined talents in writing, design, voice over, producing, editing, production coordination, team management, acting, hosting, and song writing, Pinch and Greg have managed to stay busy over the years creating all kinds of content for TV, film and publishing. Their most recent co-creative adventures have led them to work with Illumination Entertainment, Highlights Magazine, Audible, and GoNoodle.

Gallant is much smarter than Goofus who doesn’t pay much attention to the world around him.

There was nothing wrong and I want more it is my favorite podcast of all time! 😀👍😜🙂😍

Enjoyable for kiddos

My seven year old son loves it! He has listened to each episode multiple times. It’s easy to know which is Goofus and which is Gallant based on their voices. The stories are cute and have good messages. My son enjoys them so much he asked how he could get more. We’re bummed it’s only going to run through until the end of the month.

Classic

I started reading Highlights back in the 60's and I still read them when I go to hospitals, such a great way for young children to learn and grow up with, should be mandatory for all kids as part of life education

My 5.5 year old twins love these stories.

I'm giving this top scores because of how much my 5.5 yr olds love it. I have been looking for something like this for a while, a multi person scripted story like old timey radio. We've listened to all 8 of the episodes to date and I love that so far a new story has been released every week. " I " don't love the music, especially the song they sing at the end, but the twins aren't bothered by it. The only thing I know that compares to it in terms of quality is the Adventures in Odyssey which is a Christian drama series.
