We’re getting inspired by the two time Grammy nominated Alphabet Rockers founders, Kaitlyn McGaw and Tommy Shepherd. Plus we hear from the kids in the Extinction Diaries about how sharks are used in cosmetics and other products. This show has excellent music, and will inspire kids of all ages to become change makers. Alphabet Rockers make music that makes change. Known as the preeminent children’s hip hop artists to focus on social change and racial justice, they are consciousness in motion. They spark an intergenerational conversation about the world through music and dance. Partnering with thought leaders on anti-bias and child development, they create empowered, engaging concerts and activities for young children, families, and educators. The Alphabet Rockers have developed an anti-racism mini-training for kids, families and teachers called We Got Work To Do.  Learn about bias, oppression, and where kids have power to stand up to hate, and make change.

We’ll find out where skunks are found, why they smell, and how to avoid getting sprayed. Dr. Dragoo is a world renowned mephitologist, or biologist who studies skunks.

This week on The Children’s Hour, we explore the genre of science fiction with our musical friends from Ramah, New Mexico, MeriDean. This type of storytelling allows our imagination to become immersed in other worldly places, with advanced technologies, on exoplanets, or flying through space, and using actual science to help us believe the impossible. With excerpts of famous works of “Sci-Fi” like The War of the Worlds, Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, and Slaughterhouse Five, and original pieces recorded by masterful storytellers, we immerse ourselves in futuristic fantasy. Plus the kids in the Extinction Diaries update us about the Sumatran Tiger, and how our use of palm oil is hurting their chance for survival. Photo by Brian McGowan All of this is mixed with great music by Tim and the Space Cadets, Brave Combo, Joanie Leeds And The Nightlights, The Okee Dokee Brothers, They Might Be Giants, Dino O’Dell, Justin Roberts, The Mosaic Project, Eric Herman, and others.

On this episode of The Children’s Hour, we explore balloons! We learn what makes the drifting hot air balloons stay afloat in the sky, and we learn the history of how balloons came to be a mode of transportation. We also hear the Balloonist’s Prayer, and we take a trip in a hot air balloon with one of our Kids Crew members. Plus, we visit with the artists behind Airigami, who make giant sculptures and even clothing out of latex balloons. The kids in the Extinction Diaries talk about what happens when people release helium balloons into nature. Finally we find out about those mysterious white balloons that appear all over the world every single day, high in the sky. https://www.childrenshour.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/TCH_Balloons_podcast.mp3 All of this is mixed with great music from Steve Pullara, They Might Be Giants, Roger Day, Tom Paxton, Bill Oliver, Frances England, Elena Moon Park and Poi Dog Pondering.
