Therefore, we have transformed timeless, legendary stories into 10-minute bite-size chunks long enough to entertain, enthrall, and even educate the listener but short enough to be enjoyed quickly at bedtime or any other point in our busy modern days.

Los estudios han demostrado que desarrollar un "hábito atómico" (con solo dedicar unos minutos al día a cualquier habilidad o hábito que desees adquirir) puede ser más que suficiente para arraigarlo en nuestras vidas. Por lo tanto, hemos transformado historias legendarias y atemporales en fragmentos de 10 minutos lo suficientemente largos como para entretener, cautivar e incluso educar al oyente, pero lo suficientemente cortos como para disfrutarlos rápidamente a la hora de dormir o en cualquier otro momento de nuestra ajetreada vida moderna.

The merciless Cronus and his Titan buddies are in hot pursuit of Zeus, Hera, and Poseidon, who plan to travel across the treacherous boiling sea in order to save a fellow Olympian. They have a boat, but they also have a problem: Poseidon can't swim and is terrified of the water (well, really of the creatures that lurk in its depths). The group faces danger after danger as they battle singing sirens, a fishy and ferocious Titan named Oceanus, and people-eating monsters sent by Cronus himself.
