About Mr. Jim:

Hi! I'm Jim Jacob, a South Carolina based creator. I started as a podcaster by accident. Our first real episodes on the internet were me trying to find a solution to help tell my sons stories as I was traveling for work. I recorded some stories and hoped that by uploading them to a podcast app, my wife and kids could have easy access to listen. What started as a fix for our family’s bedtime routine interruption has grown into a worldwide audience with hundreds of thousands of listeners. My wife Jocelyn and I have 3 kids and love inspiring others towards greater imagination and curiosity.

It was a beautiful day deep in the ocean as Josie the Mermaid was swimming around with all of her friends.

0:50.0

They were playing a game of kind of like hide-and-seek tag, but underwater.

0:56.1

They could play that game because they could breathe underwater, which I don't think I would be

1:01.9

very good at hiding underwater for obvious reasons.

1:07.0

Well, Josie was really good and she was hiding and having a ton of fun, but something terrible was about to happen.

Okay, I've got to find a new place to hide where no one has ever hid before.

Yeah, that's what Josie was thinking about and she was trying to figure out a new place where she could hide.

Hold on Josie, whoa whoa whoa whoa I don't think you should go over there.
