Podcasts for Families: The Unexplainable Disappearance of Mars Patel

There's a new podcast interview up on the Joan Ganz Cooney Center blog.  Check out my chat with Chris Tarry, creator of the atmospheric and eerie Mars Patel podcast.

Locals: If you love kids' podcasts, you're probably familiar with The Alien Adventures of Finn Caspian.  We're hosting a LIVE RECORDING of the show right here in Madison on Saturday, June 30th as part of the Click! Youth Media Festival!  Get more information and register for this event right here.

Wild Rumpus is back!

Leaping into a full summer of Wild Rumpuses (Rumpii?) THREE TIMES A WEEK!  Mark your calendars!  All events will run from 5:00-7:30 p.m. and we've invited food trucks to show up so you can buy your dinner or bring along a picnic and make an evening of it.


Mondays at Brittingham Park (downtown) now through Aug. 13

Wednesdays at Haen Family Park (west side) now through Aug. 15 (none on July 4)

Thursdays at Reindahl Park (east side) June 28 through Aug. 16.

Just like last year, our inaugural Rumpus was a rainy evening, but at least we saw a fabulous rainbow.
