Hi, listeners! It’s me again . . . your pal, Count Vacula! As you may have noticed, we’re now bringing you a new episode of The Imagine Neighborhood™ every other week. And on some of those in-between weeks, you can hear me, Count Vacula, on my very own show! It’s called No Filter with Count Vacula. On No Filter, I’ll practice making new friends and getting to know all kinds of people. This week, I’m chatting with Biz Ellis from the podcast One Bad Mother. Biz and I talk about how being “bad” can sometimes be a good thing, how to find buried treasure in your own backyard, and how to be kind to teachers—with donuts! Biz sure was a lot of fun to talk to. We even made up our own theme song! Anyway, I’m still figuring out how to host my own show, and I really want to get better at it. So go to our website and let me know what you think. And stay tuned for a new episode of The Imagine Neighborhood next week, and for more episodes of No Filter with Count Vacula! Do you have a question for us? Or can you think of someone I should talk to on a future episode of No Filter? You can put your questions and ideas into a review (and while you’re there, let us know what you think of the show)! You can also email them to kind@imagineneighborhood.org. We always love seeing your notes and drawings. Keep writing to us, and follow our Infinite Refrigerator to see creations from listeners like you! We’ll see you again soon in The Imagine Neighborhood. Love,   Vac ...moreCopy Link

This week on The Children’s Hour we chat with Julie from Ants on a Log, a band that performs music for children and other childlike people that advocates for positivity, social justice, and silliness through song. This 2-person band consists of Julie and Anya from Philadelphia, PA.  The two began writing together, finding driving harmonies and song topics that were silly, serious, environmental, feminist, gender-bending, and just plain fun. In their off-stage lives, Julie is a music therapist and Anya is an elementary science teacher. Their powers combined make for smart and socially conscious folk, a delight for children and adults of all ages. The Blue Boy by Thomas Gainsborough, 1779 This week we discuss the importance of self-realization, and the freedom in being seen for who you are. Many of Ants on a Log songs challenge societal archetypes, such as girls have long hair and boys have short hair – they even have a song called Some Girls Have Short Hair! We visit the topic of pronouns and how they are important and respectful of an individual. Ants even has a mix less on their website called “Practice Your Pronouns”. Julie also offers their experience using non-binary pronouns. Curious: Think Outside the Pipeline! is Ants on a Log’s award-winning musical story of two siblings who organize their neighbors to fight for clean air. The soundtrack was released in 2019, and the movie was released in 2021. The script is available for schools and communities to perform, and the movie is available for screenings.
