The podcast
Once Upon A Crescent
Once Upon a Crescent is a collection of Islamic bedtime stories for children. Written and produced by a Muslim elementary school teacher, these stories aim to impart Islamic morals to kids through light-hearted storytelling. Not only are stories a great way to settle into a bedtime routine, but they also provide rich opportunities for meaningful dialogue between parent and child. Snuggle up with your little one and feel free to use this podcast as a starting point to talk about Islamic values. My goal is to facilitate some important moral conversations by introducing Islamic values with storytelling.

The Podcast Process
01
Write A Story
When writing a story, the first thing I need to do is come up with an idea that I want to write about. Then, I create interesting characters who act like real people.

When writing my story, I use words that help my readers imagine what is happening and have my characters talk to each othe

Edit. Edit. Edit
This is the part of the process that takes the longest time. Editing a podcast means making it sound really good. First, I listen to the recording from the start to the end. Then, I cut out any parts that are not needed or have mistakes. Next, I make the sound quality better by adjusting the volume and reducing any background noise. I also add music or sound effects to make it more interesting. When I am finished, I mix everything together and make it sound really polished.

Publish
I push a button and the story gets sent to all my listeners. This is my favorite step in the entire process!
