There was a great article I read over the weekend about a new push by broadcasters to create more (and better) kid-centered podcasts. Not only does this allow kids to use their imaginations more, but it also gets them away from the TV and their electronic screens. One of our new favorite shows here at home is a podcast called “Wow in the World” that teaches kids about Science through all kinds of exciting stories and tidbits. I’ve been a big fan of radio (and Old Time Radio shows) since I was in my early teens, and am glad there’s a new revitalized interest in people listening to well-produced stories on the radio. In addition to “Wow in the World” we also like the adventure mystery show “Eleanor Amplified,” which is something of a kids’ serial show. That, too, is also very fun and exciting. Hope some you looking for a little fun check them out.
I’m very excited for the new season of “Stranger Things,” which will debut on October 27th. If you look down below to one of my previous posts, you’ll see I had lots of good things to say about the film “Super-8” and all the nostalgic goodness it brought. At the time, I remember thinking that the premise of “Super-8” was such a good one, “kids riding on bikes” would be the next “big thing” someone would grab a hold of because the thrill of it resonated in so many great ways, doubley so with people who grew up in the 80s. I’m so glad to see that “Stranger Things” is doing so well, and I hope the new season does even better than the first.
