After a layover, my voice returns to update you on Kickstarters, KindieCOMM, kids poetry, and the most popular animated movie of all time.

It's awards seasons. Awards awarded, to be awarded, and streamed. Also, I say "Kidz Bop" a lot.
A couple kindie musicians take steps toward TV dominance, I take a small step toward children's museum dominance, and Kidz Bop and Disney take large steps toward dominance.

No album news, a lot of Kickstarter news, and year-end countdowns (from both 2013 and 2012) start trickling in.
Grammy (nominations)! Kickstarter (in progress)! Another outlet for kids music videos (in beta)! And lots and lots of albums with numbers in their title.
Not much in the way of new releases; a ton of Kickstarters; a kindie star gets an even bigger stage to play on.
Before or after you eat that turkey or tofurkey, enjoy an interview with Molly Ledford from Lunch Money (previously heard on the My Other Other Gig show)
The pre-Thanksgiving release rush, the even bigger pre-Thanksgiving crowdfunding rush, pre-Thanksgiving awards rush, and plain old chart news

A bunch of albums coming out, a bunch of Kickstarters for albums that will come out, and a bunch of charts featuring music that has already come out. Also, praise for Portland
Not quite as much news, but lots of new albums and new Kickstarters floating around. Also, I suggest what needs to be the next kindie holiday album
So. Much. News. Awards aplenty, videos aplenty, thought-pieces aplenty, and, for Kickstarters, whatever the word is for "aplenty squared"
No time to put together a regular show this week, so 3 uncut interviews from the Bake Sale podcast: Laura Doherty, Ann Torralba (AKA Little Miss Ann), and Laurie Berkner
Kickstarters galore, album releases galore, kindie music in Philadelphia and on the high seas
Big week for album releases, why Justin Roberts doesn't use Spotify, another kindie artist goes for the parental set, and what sounds like the most inappopriate song ever to top iTunes kids music chart. Plus less distressing chart news.
