about us

Where Owen’s imagination becomes audio adventures for little ears.

about us

Hi, we are Andre & Owen.

We live in beautiful Santa Barbara, CA, with Owen’s mama Dana, and our dog, Bodie. We are the humans behind these audio adventures. The name “Oni Pepperoni” comes from Owen’s sweet nickname given by his “Tante” in Germany.

Every week, Owen shares wild new story ideas with me – tales where bananas eat campers, unicorns ride bicycles through water, and astronaut cows visit from Mars. I’m constantly amazed by how differently kids see the world, without the limitations of adult thinking!

Our process is simple: Owen dreams up characters and adventures (often during bedtime chats), sometimes Dana joins in as well, and then I work with AI technology to help transform his creative sparks into structured stories. I carefully review each one to ensure it’s perfect for young listeners.

The result? Stories that genuinely come from a child’s imagination – because they do! – but with the polish and flow that makes them enjoyable for parents and kids alike. Each adventure maintains Owen’s original ideas and unexpected twists while adding a clear beginning, middle, and end.

These audio tales have become our special father-son bonding project. Owen gets excited hearing how his ideas develop, and I love preserving his unique perspective on the world through storytelling.

Cuddle up with your kids and enjoy these adventures – brought to you by Owen’s imagination, some helpful AI assistance, and a dad who makes sure each story captures the authentic wonder of childhood.
