Content

Every episode starts with the motif of Peter from Peter and the Wolf by Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev. The stories are specifically written for the show and are read by professional speakers. Most of the stories have multiple parts and evolve over a week. At the end of every story a child's voice says:

"Der Ohrenbär, der geht jetzt schlafen. Aber morgen ist er wieder da, mit neuen Radiogeschichten für kleine Leute. Gute Nacht für heute."

"The Ohrenbär, he goes to sleep now. But tomorrow he's back again, with new radio stories for little people. Good night for today."
