The family that listens together...

PJ AND Elizabeth,
This contest has been a great experience, mainly because of the amazing community it has generated. Thank you for listening and for your generous comments---they made my day!

You sneaked up on me there, Judy. Aren't we all so sick of the purple dinosaur approach to children's programming? I'm so glad you're addressing kids and families. It's high time that the greying public radio community considers that kids DO listen now, we just don't see there checks.

Great children's radio! I really think this is a great concept, really nicely executed. I've heard several children's show pitches here, but this is the first one I've heard that does not feature a super cheesy host with a condescending tone. You are definitely bright and energetic (things children seem to glean onto), but you wouldn't be annoying for adults to listen to, which is obviously is a major concern for family programming. I really, really like this. And, I don't have kids, but you still impressed me. Good luck!

Glad you joined the limerick thread. That's how I found your clip. I could read to children and tell them stories all day. In fact, I have many times. I love how you bring that magic alive.

I really appreciate your comments! Save me a cookie---I can't read with my mouth full!

Wait, let me get the cookies and milk.

Okay, now read to me! I loved the entire idea. I think it is a wonderful idea.

I don't have kids, but I liked this anyway. You've got a great voice and an obvious passion for kids, books, radio, music-- it shines through. good luck.

Judy... You scared the poop out of me for that 1st 30 seconds... Well done!!!

You guys are all blowing me away w/ production value.

My only regret is that I didn't know about the Quest earlier, so I could familiarize myself w/ the programs I needed to use to record/edit/convert.

I really enjoyed your entry, & thanks for your compliments on mine.-(;o)~

Great idea. I've become entranced by children's books and am always looking for new and interesting suggestions for my little guy.
Thanks!

Listen to "Welcome to Kidville" http://www.publicradioquest.com/audio/user/2111 and check out "The Day My Mother's Head Exploded" on http://www.prx.org/

Judy, now that I know you're a WRVO listener, I have to ask - do you remember from days past Bill Shigley's "The Reader's Corner"? I really loved that simple format and his warm presence - and felt a tremendous loss when he had to leave because of ill health - and his passing was a sad day for me.

I was greatly impressed with your entry - you had a lot of fun with it, and kids do love this sort of thing. Do you remember the now-lost "Rabbit Ears Radio"?

I hope you make it to Round Two - and if not, why not pitch this idea to WRVO? I'd be happy to help in any way I can.

Good idea for a book club on the air.

I liked your imaginative approach to your entry. Interestingly, I was thinking you were going to do a dream-in-a-dream-in-a-dream approach. I liked what you did, though.

Music Teachers are awesome!

Do you know where the poetry is in poetic justice?

I hope you liked my audio clip. And I know, it should have been "least," not "lease" in my written intro. Darn my klutzy fingers!
