Not-an-Episode 3: Sometimes I Just Take a Break, Y'Know?

Clearly it's been a busy time 'round these parts -- I didn't even get to record a podcast or post these links last week.  Just pretend you hear my voice.  This week's winner -- Justin Roberts, 'cause Recess  is released this week.  (The chart-obsessed of you might defer to the Kidz Bop  series, but hey, this is Zooglobble.)

Kickstarter update: Alphabet Rockers TV Pilot, Heidi Swedberg: My Cup of Tea are both above their funding goal as of this writing, woot!  Another crowdfunding project worth exploring: Graeme Sacks' Nursery Rhymes for Africa (on Indiegogo)

By the way, Bill Childs over at Spare the Rock World Enterprises (note: not real name. Yet.) has an internship opportunity for folks who want to help get the Spare the Rock, Spoil the Child radio show broader distribution and, depending on timing, help do promotion for STR albums.  It's unpaid, but you'll learn a lot and Bill's a great guy.  Austin-based location not necessary.  Contact Bill through the website.
