Bad editing, Good Intentions
I got to your entry!
It's great! :-)
I think you would be a great host for a show that addresses kids---you have a friendly voice, but it's not sugary sweet and 'nursery schoolish'.
I find that my own four-year-old twins respond the best to adults who talk to them like other adults. When adults are talking they want to be there, and they want to pay attention and participate.
I'd be really interested in seeing more of your ideas!

Keep on rockin' in the free world.
It's funny you mention that, & you're absolutely right about not talking down to kids. I never used babytalk w/ my Bean, & never substituted shortened versions for complicated words. I was an assistant pre-school teacher waaay back, & it freaked me out to see 4 year-olds who could barely communicate in English - & then I'd watch their parents interact w/ them - mystery solved. Years later, when Bean got to pre-school, the teachers were shocked by how articulate she was. Prior to that, we had a friend w/ a girlfriend who was *really* awful w/ cutiepie talk around Bean (who was 2 or so) - she just looked up @ me & said, "Mommy, why is she talking babytalk to me?" She dreaded being around the woman. When I was a kid, I always appreciated when adults would give me enough credit to converse w/ me as a real human being, not some dopey kid w/ no opinions & nothing to say of any value.
Great GREAT GGRREEAATT idea. I'm in. Call me to contribute when this thing takes off. We could blow the doors off Satellite Sisters with a flippin' satellite family tree. And we gotta get Meryl Streep reading the velveteen rabbit.

You guys are too kind.. The B&F editing was by accident. I was too afraid that I wouldn't be able to figure out the programs properly, in order to enter - so I let the 1st take & product ride. Doing it again might have taken another week!
Thank you. I appreciate all kind words.

Nice job. I like the back and forth editing style. Very creative. Also, you make some excellent points.
A great concept, and I really liked the video-style MTVish editing via audio. I don't even have kids & it sounds like a program I would really appreciate listening to from a standpoint of understanding the needs & interests of kids & their parents and the differences between generations. And you sound as if you're made to order to host it. Excellent voice, delivery, & timing, and obvious passion for the subject. Good luck ... I hope it comes to pass. - Joy
Children don't have much "hand" in the public radio world. Getting them active and interacting with parents has a lot of potential. And just like McDonald's does, you'd have set the groundwork for pledge donors for life!
Great Show-

Enjoyed listening. Good luck.

Great message and equally great voice! Looking forward to hearing more!
There is a place on public radio for a show like this.
Great soothing voice.
Sounds so very familiar too. :-)
Mr. Winky would like that voice to speak to him over the radio at night!
Your passion comes through, and yes there is a void in broadcasting in that demographic. They would be served well by you. I enjoyed listening to your segment
Perfect way to draw kids into life outside of video games and mind numbing Ipods. Challenging brian cells is always a good thing. Bravo!
PS Nice voice too
Having been a former elementary teacher I understand what you mean about children listening when you least expect it. Radio is a wonderful medium to also nourish children's creativity and imagination. Your ideas are great and your voice sounds like one that would hold attention! Good luck!
A natural for radio!
Heck, she's the brat! ;-)
Good luck... they'd be crazy to not give you the gig!
You're a real sweetheart, *bless yer heart*... Just like that Steve guy.
I bet if you keep trying, & wish *very* hard, you won't feel nearly as washed - up, tomorrow morning.
Your resume is so swiss, it's wearing those hosen-thingies.
Bad idea to mess w/ a Mommy on Mother's Day(ish), by the way.
Best-est to you, though!

...the brat part down quite successfully.
And your purpose in that is...?

You are already everywhere except Sunday.
You are endearing, but we pretty much have your #.
So bothering to give ME a hard time is wasted.
It's also rather cheap to diss other folks w/ nothing constructive, to bump your own entry.
It's shallow & cheap.
I think you are on the ball with your idea I remember listenting to NPR as a kid. I am now 24 and still listen to NPR and some of the same programs that I did as a kid.

I think those are nice points, but the ideas for programs you bring up come from a similar place as some of the shows the kids (and me, often) already are bored by. You have a nicely paced voice and everybody seems to like your entry.
Good luck! Try mine!

Volume issues notwithstanding, I was still able to recognize a lovely and intelligent voice that was made for (and should definitely find) a permanent home in broadcasting! You go, girl!
Yes, it is not 1962 any longer. Public radio, a public voice, but a new generation is on its way. Let's include them in our listening venue.
Very interesting ideas. Lets get kids to listen to public radio...
Just perfect and just filled with ideas for the next generation.
What a brilliant idea!
Bravo!
