Special thanks to our creative partner⁠ Jason Roark⁠ who records, edits, and designs this show. This episode featured a bit of Jason's Howl-o-ween version of a family favorite song, In the Hall of Mountain King by Grieg, who hated the song and wrote it to be a parody of the music of the time that he disliked.

Stick around to the very end of this jokes episode to hear a public domain symphony arrangement courtesy of Orange Free Sounds- a great resource for free audio.

Even if your child doesn’t grow up to discover their LGBTQ+ identity, it is paramount that they become staunch LGBTQ+ allies if we want to lower these horrific statistics and save the next generation LGBTQ+ youth. Yes, the situation is that dire. This is not a light burden to carry, especially as a parent trying to raise kids in a world that is hostile to the LGBTQ+ community, especially while you[re juggling busy schedules. But you’re in luck because we’re here to help :)

We overjoyed to have been given permission to share the song that plays at the very end of this episode–called I-L-O-V-E-Y-O-U by Melanie Dill, from the album Rainbow Lemonade, which was one of the best children’s albums ever created and followed one of the other best children’s albums- Alphabet Parade. Thank you, Melanie Dill! Fun fact, Hank learned to spell the word “love” from singing along to this song, and he still sings it in his head when it’s time to write it down.

We’re taking a little break this week, but we still put together this bonus episode to share fun jokes & ridiculous food puns, and some more fun music from Hank’s Granny, aka Jeanie Murphy.

We also share a bit more about the famous Dogland saying, “We are all connected at our roots, and rooted in our connection.” It feels perfect to talk about connection at this time. We round out the episode with a talk about Native American Heritage Month and share a trailer from one of our favorite shows and a special song from their incredible composer.

Stay past the jokes to hear the trailer for Coin Trick, https://www.cointrick.net/, a narrative series that follows 12-year-old Cassidy and the flute-playing mischief-maker Kokopelli on their adventures through a fantasy world based on Native American mythology. 

We are blown away, honored, and excited to share a song gifted to us by Coin Trick’s composer, Shelley Morningsong, https://shelleymorningsongonline.com/. Shelley has also written a gorgeous children’s book, and it includes a free audio download that we are loving in our house.

This resource from IllumiNative called "How to Center and Be a Good Ally to Indigenous People this Thanksgiving" is an excellent read. https://bit.ly/3FIELv2

We really enjoyed this article from PBS about finding ways to honor the real history of this time in the US: https://www.pbs.org/parents/thrive/thanksgiving-practicing-gratitude-and-honoring-the-real-story

We are really impressed by this coverage in Teen Vogue: Land Acknowledgements: https://www.teenvogue.com/story/indigenous-land-acknowledgement-explained

We create this show in the ancestral lands of the Multnomah, Wasco, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Cowlitz, bands of Chinook, Tualatin Kalapuya, Molalla, and many other Tribes of the first people who made their homes along the rivers here in what is now called “Portland, Oregon.” These groups created communities and summer encampments along the Columbia and Willamette rivers and harvested and used the plentiful natural resources of the area for thousands of years. Today, the Native community of Portland is the 9th largest urban population in the USA.

We’ve made a donation to an organization called the NATIVE AMERICAN YOUTH AND FAMILY CENTER (NAYA) https://nayapdx.org/support-us/

Hank's Granny, aka Jeanie Murphy, recorded three fun old-time turkey songs with her banjo for us, and we thought they were too great to keep to ourselves--especially in a season of giving! Hank had a lot of fun singing this particular Turkey Lurkey song with his fantastic music teacher at school, so he rang his Granny when he got home and they sang it together. We feel so fortunate to have a musical Granny, and Hank has been musical since before he was born. The two of them have been noodling on songs together since he was knee-high to a penny whistle!

"Turkey in the Straw" is an American folk song that first gained popularity in the early 19th century. 

"Turkey Lurkey Run So Fast" is a classroom rhyme that Hank has really enjoyed. 

"A Turkey Ran Away" is a traditional Appalachian song.

We're so proud of Hank for making this for the podcast, and we're loving listening to this recording on its own. If you enjoy the poem, then we encourage you to find out more about Emily Dickinson. If you’re working with or are a kid, then we highly recommend this great entry from Britannica Kids. 

Discerning ears may also recognize the return of a bit of music from Edvard Grieg called "Morning Mood" performed by the Czech National Symphony Orchestra as the Musopen Symphony Orchestra. Thank you to Wikipedia and Museopen for globally sharing open-source music so that we could include lovely music in our podcast, family playlists, and classrooms too!

We wrote the song that plays at the end of our episodes along with Hank’s Granny,  aka Jean Murphy! The song is called “Howl-o-ween!” We took story inspiration from A Tale for Halloween by Loretta Ellen Brady from the collection, The Green Forest Fairy Book (1920.)

We are so pleased to share this next leg of Power Dog’s adventure- a crossover tale with Mary Farfisa’s Outer Space Radio Theater. You’ll love this bouncy, fun, and musically delightful episode, which is the first in our series to feature a different voice for one of the characters. Brsicoe the Space Horse is voiced by Jim Cheff, creator of Mary Farfisa’s Outer Space Radio Theater. You can read more about the show, a fellow Kids Listen member, here: Get to Know a Show: Mary Farfisa’s Outer Space Radio Theater.

Other voices from Mary Farfisa's Outer Space Radio Theater you will hear in this episode are Cara Alboucq as Mary Farfisa and Leslie Baker as WhichWay. The 'Listener's Library Song' was written by Jim Cheff and  Cara Alboucq, and performed by Cara. Jim also illustrated our special cover art, and you can see more of his work at http://96thofoctober.com/creators/jim-cheff/

We end this episode with a special message from Mme. Kate the Aware Wolf of Time Yin, with immense gratitude to the wisdom, inspiration, and lessons from Viktor Frankl, Krista Tippet, Pema Chödrön, and Tara Brach.

From Viktor Frankl: “Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”

You may have noticed that we are really grooving on the concept of the universe wanting all of us to succeed, to thrive, and to love ourselves as well as each other. During a recent visit with our own Granny Dog (AKA Jeanie Murphy,) we were honored to receive and record a banjo-backed song version of our epic poem from Season 2, Episode 15 called The Dogstrologer’s Song.

Join Power Dog as he bids adieu (for now?) to the characters and place from Stories For Wonderful Children, and continues along his fantastical journey. Will he finally get to the dragon world of Draconus?

We discuss the concepts of emotional flooding, feeling overwhelmed, and attempting to shut down in this episode. We also begin a mini storyline about the moments when someone else is challenging us.

We are so pleased to share part two of this next leg of Power Dog’s adventure- a crossover tale of tails in which we visit the characters and place from Stories For Wonderful Children!

Hank would like to especially recommend that you listen to all of Dan's stories, and especially the short series featuring the Cats of the Elysium. From Dan, "Deep in Antarctica lies the mystical Cat Elysium, a magical paradise for Flibbertygibit's feline subjects. Flip-Flop, the prankster of the royal cat family passes idyllic days there as caretaker. But when trouble comes to the Elysium, will Flip-Flop's joking ways be able to rise to the challenge?" The best place to start is with Stories For Wonderful Children Episode 37: Where's Flibbertygibit.

This story is based on the first part of a short and lovely book in the public domain called Sea Stories for Wonder Eyes by Mary Earle Hardy. You can hear the book read to you for free at Librivox.com- an incredible online catalog of free, public domain audiobooks read by volunteers from around the world. A note to grownups: because most of the books, short stories, and poems featured in Librivox are from around a century ago, some content may not feel suitable for your families to listen to and might be worth a preview before sharing with your younger people. Feel free to reach out via our many social channels or email if you want to discuss this further.

Special thanks to Anders Lund for helping us record this episode. And, thanks as well to the über-talented artists at Orange Free Sounds, who provide a robust library of music and sound effects for others to use. This episode was edited using the phenomenally easy & intuitive Descript App, which we wholeheartedly recommend. (Affiliate link benefits our show.)

We strongly believe in the power of poetry! If you’d like to read more about why it is so important for students, then we highly recommend reading this article from Edutopia: https://www.edutopia.org/blog/five-reasons-poetry-needed-schools-elena-aguilar. Art is the crucial language of emotion, and poetry refines our language. Poetry is music, and poetry is therapy. Poetry is joy, and poetry can be a righteous rage. It can teach social-emotional learning and help us find better ways to understand ourselves and others.

What is FADPAK?! We are so glad you asked. FADPAK AKA Fairies and Dragons, Ponies and Knights is an episodic story for humans of all ages! Each episode is first broadcast live to a virtual audience on Zoom and followed by the release of the episode as a podcast.

When Hank & Phoebe decided they wanted to make their own podcast, it was because they were already big fans of high-quality audio for kids, families, insomniacs, and story-lovers. They knew that they wanted to join the organization Kids Listen because they found so many great shows using their free app. And, when they joined, they discovered a feast for their ears! 

We were hooked from the first word, and from the first musical notes, on FADPAK, and we think you will be too. We hope you enjoy this bonus episode, which is equal parts glowing, excited review and their trailers for the show and their forthcoming Season 2! 

Get thee to https://dirtroadtheater.com/fadpak/ for loads of screen-free entertainment and FREE gorgeous coloring pages!

The adventure continues for the power pals on Dogland in this thrilling 8th episode of Season 2. The dogs are off again, but not before we examine the role of the fight, flight, or freeze response and how it is a natural part of your amazing brain, more specifically, the amygdala. Studies have shown that just learning about this can help kids manage anxiety and regulate themselves after surprises, stress, and fright. We love Anxiety Canada’s approach here, too: ​​https://www.anxietycanada.com/articles/fight-flight-freeze-anxiety-explained-for-kids/

If you and your family are seeking more podcast-based resources for building mindfulness toolkits, then we also HIGHLY recommend these three fellow Kids Listen member podcasts. Although designed for kids, we are finding them to be wonderful for multiple generations in our home.

And, be warned, this episode ends with a bit of a fox-hanger! Grown-ups can reassure their youngers that everyone will be OK. We promise.

If you haven’t listened to our sidequest, bonus episodes from the Fetcher Files called “The Dog Who Rode Into the Sunset, parts 1 & 2,” then you should probably go back and check those out. This is also a good idea if it’s been a while since you last gave a listen to them and need a refresh for your memory. If you're completely new to our story, please go find episode 1, called "S1E1 | START HERE! | Power Dog Goes To College" as this is a serial story adventure that unfolds throughout each season.

The adventure continues for Power Dog and his friends on Dogland in this exciting sixth episode of Season 2. We open with a recap, a reminder of where everyone is at this moment in the story, and a rousing speech from President Bernie Sandals about the call to love our world in uncertain times. Thank you to author Joanna Macy for inspiring the talk that inspired the addition of this speech into our story. Our conversation was a response to Hank’s growing awareness of ecosystems and climate change. Thank you to his wonderful 2nd-grade teacher, Mme. Kate, for raising awareness through creativity for Hank and his peers! We discuss the words ‘ecosystem” and “phenomenon” in scientific and contextual meaning in this episode as well!

As many parents and carers of kids know, the daily practice of guiding young people through life ranges from challenging to silly, and back again, and it can take us to deep places on a dime. This episode goes deep. We talk about how trauma can pass from body to body, how interconnected we are, and why it’s a gift in life to experience failure. We use tools like deep belly breathing, rhyming jokes, EMDR to unpack distressing memories, affirmations of love, speaking our stories, and asking for help to lean into strength. And, we also share more about Mom Slice’s past as a champion swordfighter!

Also, one of the sweetest things Hank has ever shared about Dogland is information about the planet’s “Great Great Tree” and the slogan, “We are all connected at our roots and rooted in our connection.”

Some further resources for grown people are:

On trauma and somatic healing: My Grandmother’s Hands by Resmaa Menakem

On everything from failure to shame to healing to living a wholehearted life, Brené Brown.

And, for people of all ages, we recommend listening to fellow Kids Listen member show, Best Day Yet Podcast, a show serving affirmations, adventures, and mindfulness tools for calmer, kinder, more confident kids.

Special thanks to Jason Roark who records, edits, and designs this show. He also provides original music including our theme song, which is sung by him and the wonderful, talented Jen Bernard. Jason was not able to edit this episode, but he set Phoebe & Hank up for success and a fun learning opportunity, which they enjoyed wholeheartedly. They had a blast using the free and fantastic resources at freeSFX dot com and Orange Free Sounds.

We also bring up this really funny hypothesis about how elephants think humans are cute. It’s hotly contested, but reading about elephant cognition is fascinating! See more here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elephant_cognition 

And, if you’d like to hear more about elephants and how amazing they are, you should check these two episodes from one of our favorite shows ever, Cool Facts About Animals! Elephants (Part 1) & Elephants (Part 2)

We’re also thrilled to continue to work some musical hits from our old buddy Grieg into our story. You’ll hear “Morning Mood” courtesy of Orange Free Sounds, and you’ll hear our composer’s take on “In the Hall of the Mountain King” as well as original music by our composer, Jason Roark.

We love all of Peer Gynt and encourage you to check it out! Stick around to the very end of this jokes episode to hear a public domain symphony arrangement courtesy of Orange Free Sounds- a great resource for free audio.

Here's a quick bit of Halloween fun from Hank's Granny, aka Jeanie Murphy, that we were so thrilled to have her record for us and our Howl-o-ween special with her banjo. We reworked this bit of old poetry over and over until it was ours, and then she set it to music. We feel so fortunate to have a musical Granny, and Hank has been musical since before he was born. The two of them have been noodling on songs together since he was knee-high to a fiddle!

Here's a quick bit of Halloween fun from Hank's Granny, aka Jeanie Murphy, that we love to play in our home and sing along with as well!

Jeanie played this old traditional song—that she learned and loved from Jean Ritchie—for and with her kids (that's Hank's mom & uncle) when they were little, so it's great fun to pass it along to another generation.

The Adventures of Power Dog in Dogland is created in the ancestral lands of the Multnomah, Wasco, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Cowlitz, bands of Chinook, Tualatin Kalapuya, Molalla, and many other Tribes of the first people who made their homes along the rivers.

We wrote the song that plays at the end of our episodes along with Hank’s Granny,  aka Jean Murphy! The song is called “Howl-o-ween!” We took story inspiration from A Tale for Halloween by Loretta Ellen Brady from the collection, The Green Forest Fairy Book (1920.) 

Special thanks to our creative partner Jason Roark who records, edits, and designs this show. He also provides original music including our opening theme song, which is sung & performed by him and the wonderful, talented Jen Bernard. This episode featured a bit of Jason's Howl-o-ween version of a family favorite song, In the Hall of Mountain King by Grieg, who hated the song and wrote it to be a parody of the music of the time that he disliked. We love all of Peer Gynt and encourage you to check it out!

This episode's cover art is by Mom Slice and features our original Power Dog illustration by Matthew Hayes.

We are so pleased to share this first episode from this incredible, utterly beautiful, fun radio play story series, Mary Farfisa's Outer Space Radio Theater.

Mary Farfisa is an eight-year-old space-girl who travels the Galaxies on her space-horse, Briscoe. She goes from planet to planet, searching for “songs and sounds and music and noise” to share with the rest of the Universe. Mary catches the songs and sounds and music and noise in her “audio lasso.” Then she brings them to the Listener’s Library — an intergalactic collection of sounds, curated by music-loving super-beings called the “Listeners.” Over the season, you get to know quite a few endearing, exciting, and clever characters. Parents will appreciate the beautiful music, high audio quality, and refreshing dash of humor in the characters and dialogue.

Episode 1: THE SOUND STEALER - Mary Farfisa and her space-horse Briscoe visit Bazorbabill, where all of the sounds things make are mysteriously disappearing. A children's radio series written and produced by Jim Cheff. Starring Cara Alboucq, Nancy Andrews, Isaac Andrews, Jim Cheff, Katie King, Cheryl Love, Fernando Aguirre, Ariyah Ockenfels, and McKenna Robin. ©2017 Jim Cheff, All Rights Reserved

We asked the fine folks of Dorktales Storytime if we could share this episode about Merlin Tuttle because it is one of our favorites and because bats play a key role in keeping our planetary ecosystem in balance. We love bats so much that we also collaborated with Jodi from Dorktales Storytime to compile a list of great show episodes about bats for Bat Appreciation Day that you can read here.

HIDDEN HEROES OF HISTORY | MERLIN TUTTLE

written by Molly Murphy and performed by Jonathan Cormur

A story of bat caves, field notes, and righting a wrong reputation! Merlin Tuttle has spent his career studying bats and proving why they are an incredibly vital part of the ecosystem. His research, books, lectures, and National Geographic style photography have led to the knowledge that bats are not spooky but spectacular! Meet the hero who showed the world that some of the smallest creatures are making the biggest contributions—the real “batman” and champion protector of nature’s delightful, dark-winged, do-gooders.
