For over two decades, Connecticut storyteller Andre Keitt has been spinning tales about Africans, African Americans, Dinosaurs, Mystery and Spooky stuff, and more. His programs are a treasure trove of energy-packed tales from around the world. They include delicious tales from the Tropical Islands and stories cooked up by his very own grandmother, Mama Thompson, from way down south. This program is great for all ages!
