Episode 6: Noah and Nanda Wilson (AKA Mr. & Mrs. Muffins), The Misty Cowboy Album and LP

The team of Mr. & Mrs. Muffins are known as Noah and Nanda Wilson in the real world, but the art they produce seems very much not of this world.  Their music and accompanying art (or is art with accompanying music) has more than a touch of the dreamlike.  It's not kids music, but it's certainly tapping an inner child and very kid-friendly.  They join me for a chat about the long time it took to make this, their new album, and the inspiration behind the art and music.

Episode 5: Jerome Schoolar (Dusty Biscuit), Biscuit Brothers Fine Arts Farm

You and I know Jerome Schoolar as, well, Jerome Schoolar.  But your kids probably just know him as Dusty Biscuit, one-half of Austin, Texas' awesome Biscuit Brothers, perhaps seen on your local PBS station -- and if they don't know him, they should.  He joins me on this episode to talk about the new Biscuit Brothers Fine Arts Farm in Austin, the value of fine arts in raising and teaching kids, and -- most importantly -- how Tiny Scarecrow fits into all this.  (And by "most importantly," I mean "most importantly to Tiny Scarecrow.")

Kaitlin McGaw is the founder of the Alphabet Rockers, a Bay Area-based trio that performs hip-hop for kids and (as you might guess from the band name) does that in service of entertainment and​ education.  We chat about their brand new Kickstarter project in which they're raising funds to produce a TV pilot.  We talk TV, hip-hop, and more.
