Hop-Pop Goes the Balloon | Funny Confessions from the Children’s Bookshelf

Did The Lion Who Loved Strawberries suffer from separation anxiety? Why is Naftali stuck in the anal stage? And what romantic triangle led to the song “I Gave a Flower to Nurit”?

The podcast “Once Upon Six Stories” (KAN Podcasts) hosts six storytellers for a revealing and

humorous evening about the children’s books we all grew up with—seen from a very different angle. For adults only. Some of Israel’s funniest voices dismantle everything we thought we knew about childhood classics.

Participants include: Shaul Amsterdamski, Dudu Erez, Bacol Serlui, Itay Zvulun, Dorin Mendel, and Yuval Plotkin.

Illustrator Rachel Shalev will draw the stories live

Hosts: Rachel Shalev, Shira Kadari, Yuval Malchi
