It was just something, something clicked with it. They've got these two pets that they just love dearly and those two pets what they don't know happened to be the city's greatest superhero in the form of Cat Ninja and his arch-rival Master Hamster and they so these two built this you know archenemy and hero, battle by day and then come home and they have to like truce because they're home with the kids, you know, and it just took off. And so I think the great thing about fantasy is about superheroes, stories, whatever it is being able to take something and really, really use all those tropes to talk about something true and I think the truth in Cat Ninja is we've got these kids who are going through their parents were being developed and getting divorced. I really wanted to do a story about kids and family, and how families are ultimately what you make of them. It was just okay, let's take those two things and smush them together and see if we could come up with something fun. But we were having a brainstorm a few years ago, and I think someone would put it up on the board, like what are some of the things that are kids most interested in on the app? Like where do they know, what kind of things do kids think are cool? You know, on the predictable list, there were ninjas, and there were cats, amongst other things. We work in interesting ways, we're a very collaborative group within the original team, all various different kinds of publishing backgrounds. So, where did the idea of Cat Ninja come from? And the originals department is exactly what it sounds like we do original content that we put on there that you can only find on the platform or later in bookstores.Īwesome.
And then Chad and I work for the Department of originals of epic, which is the originals. It's a digital reading platform, its children go on their students go on there and they have access to books that they may not have access to readily and they can just binge read and read and read and read. We are sharing books with kids all over the US and beyond. So the wonderful thing about Epic is that it is I think it's you know, it's technology at its best. These numbers I can't even think about in my head. Last year, kids last year alone, kids read like over 1 billion books on Epic. You know, we've got over 40,000 titles on there, 250 different publishers, but I think the most impressive number is that we provide content on that platform reading content, that's read by 50 million kids, used by 2 million teachers. I will say first off, you know about the platform before we get into the court. Tell us a little bit about Epic as a platform, and what it's like working for Epic? So, Cat Ninja is an Epic original and a lot of us know and a lot of our listeners know Epic was huge during the pandemic. And I also get to write things for Chad to draw, which is the coolest part of the job. And I love it.Īnd I'm Matthew Cody, and I get to write Cat Ninja and I love it. Can you introduce yourselves and say what part of Cat Ninja you are responsible for? Thank you so much for joining us for this, we're so excited. Today, we're talking to Cat Ninjas creators.
