Urban Village Radio (children)

Give Thanx, Sis

Just what our youth need, to feel themselves reflected!

Great entry! It does seem a little strange that I can't think of any public radio program that is geared towards kids. Lots of great TV, but not a one radio.

You have a great read for children's stories, really illustrative!
Wow, you have two sets of twins?! That's really unusual!
I enjoyed this entry and was captivated all the way through. Great job! Try mine!

Griot idea for a radio program! I hear a host who is good to go!

“It is not success to succeed at being something you are not.”

I trust you with my child, in an era where most of what's on the radio airwaves threatens my daughter's sense of self. I, too, believe this is part of your purpose. Congratulations on asking for what you want. May you receive it in good time and good faith.

You've got the rare combination of gifts needed to pull off what you're proposing. I especially like that you don't "talk down" to an imagined audience of children.

Five stars from me for this entry! I would love my kids to hear something like this on a regular basis!

Keep on rockin' in the free world.

I always wanted a children's program on radio so the kids can appreciate the effort, but also learn by hearing. I think it's a great concept and hopefully if not for this contest, that local stations pick this up.

I love the idea of producing great audio stories for children. Please keep working on that awesome concept and good luck!

Radio should be the next great children's medium with shows like yours.

Your voice drew me in and made my ears perk up. The music and content kept my attention. I agree with another poster that NPR would benefit from a show such as this. Keep up the good work!

Laugh out loud, head back, teeth showing. Peace.

with my 7yr. old daughter. These are her words exactly...
"I think it was black power. I think it was strong. I think she had energy."
She says she'd listen to this right after watching Dora.
(Sorry, She's a super Dora fan!) But coming in second to Dora is not short stopping in her world.
You deserve a place in this quest!

This is just marvelous! My children loved it and would love to hear more. I am very excited and I can't wait to expose my children to this more consistently in the near future!! You got it!!!

My vote on this one doesn't really matter...it's the reaction of my son when I played your entry that supported my initial response. This is extraordinary. I asked my 8yr. old son if he'd like to listen to this everyday, he said YES.
NPR would gain sooo much from this type of programming! Might I suggest a companion book and read aloud CD? This is so POWERFUL. Thank you for entering.
I wish you all the best.
Absolutely wonderful!!!

..love the story ... & style of host. I could see and feel the story. ...would love to hear more of this type of radio for kids (ie.,kids bedtime stories or weekly segments)

WONDERFULL PROGRAM - ENGAGING, CREATIVE AND VERY AFFIRMING!!! WE NEED MORE OF THIS

We need more of this in the same vein as PBS kids...
