I'd been seeing this wave of AI-generated baby videos—podcasts, movie scenes, lip-synced memes—and thought, okay, you’ve got my attention, these are hilarious (mostly). But they're also just re-enactments of existing movie or TV show scenes. Nothing really original. What happens if I try to make one myself? Just for fun. Just to see. So I took a picture of myself, ran it through some tools, and watched a mini version of me babble out a few lines. It was weird. It was funny. My wife laughed. My kids thought I was weird.

Then I showed it to Ross, my longtime collaborator and friend. We’ve told stories together. Built companies together. Spent years swimming in the deep end of branding, narrative, and production. I showed him a baby version of himself and gave it a voice. He cracked up. We were taking off for Boston at the time.

That’s how Tiny Tales began.

What if we started a storytelling podcast—but as babies? Just... because.

And what if those babies weren’t just being cute, but earnestly trying to unpack the world’s most iconic (and often ridiculous) nursery rhymes—like they were dissecting The Odyssey or had jobs at The New Yorker?

We ran (flew?) with it.

Over the course of a few days, we wrote and produced three short episodes—each one about 2 minutes long. The first episode delves into The Itsy Bitsy Spider. The second, Jack and Jill. The third explores a timeless story pattern we love: The Rule of Three.
