The Owen Hour

Another very good song by Owen.

A very good song Owen sang today

Owen loves the Grinch this year. More than Santa. ...Not more than presents, but still A LOT.In this special Christmas episode, Mama joins Owen to read Dr. Seuss' classic "How the Grinch Stole Christmas".

Well, it started as a quiet episode, but someone was "Really tired, yeah!" so...

Owen is workshopping a new song

Owen wants sushi... Penguin sushi...

Owen is a wizard and keeps going invisible. And then Dad calls him "dude"...

Pilot Owen flies us to Newfoundland

WARNING: Owen does a lot of shouting in this episode. It's mixed so that it's not painful, but it's still yelling.Owen watches the waveforms as we record and then yells a lot.

Boats, submarines, bizarre undersea creatures... oh and GARBAGE TRUCK!

Owen explains how things are made

Another one of Owen's zany dreams

Another in the series of Owen's dreams

A lost episode! Recorded back in December, this episode has Owen and Dad out in a park with a sled.

This is the first in a series of "dreams" as told by Owen. There will be more. Hopefully many more. For context, Bingo is a character from a kids' show called Bluey

Just a classic episode of The Owen Hour in the woods.

The Owen Hour returns after its extended hiatus!There will be dreams,  recordings from over the break, and, you know, weird Owen stuff.

Somehow, at his busiest time of the year, Santa Claus dropped by for an interview!

Duckspotting

We take a walk through the woods to the Wobble Dock, look at a lot of mushrooms, run through mud, talk about dead trees, argue about who should carry whom, and more!

Bicycle hands, Growing Vegetable Soup (by Lois Ehlert), aggressive vegetable chopping, all varieties of high-five, aggressive extreme hamboning, Owen playing solo while Dad puts his coffee in a travel mug, creative train innovations (and fliptricks), and more!

We talk Kraftwerk, Art Attack, dancing, bones, more Art Attack, a distracted dad, Art Attack, and Art Attack.

Doing a puzzle, but it's just the audio...Also included: the new classic story Goodnight Beer

A weird, unfinished episode. We watch the garbage truck go by (twice) and play with trains and a toy firehouse. Hippo is there too. And some loud cat purring. And then an abrupt ending.

We are hanging out at the Creek with everyone's favourite puppet, Hippo!

We discuss a Frog and Toad anthology, anatomy, and pumpkin spice season, and Dad turns the tables on Owen...

We play outside, then inside, then take a break, then it's bedtime. A lot happens.

Doughnut making, breakfast, and blocks blocks BLOCKS!

We read picture books and discuss some of our adventures and visits from the weekend.

Today's podcast covers:- developments in our current read-through of the Winnie-the-Pooh books (spoilers)- This Is A Band About Cups- a prolonged kitchen jam- playgroup re-opening- Owen has a meeting- and probably more!

We build a "tent" out of couch cushions! Lots of hopping around and shenanigans. 

WELCOME TO SEASON 3!First, the big change: we're going for longer but fewer episodes. It's a big change, but I think it's worth it. We'll release episodes each week on Monday and Thursday.Owen is two and a half years old now and is chattier than ever. In this episode, we have a picnic on the Wobble Dock, a floating dock in a pond in a wildlife spot we often visit. We talk snacks, animals, animal sounds, and Puffin Rock.

In the Season 2 Finale, Owen talks about his measuring spoon, the weather, a family with a dog, a squished dog poop bag, and the things he didn't like. GOBO!

Owen and Dad return to the Creek for the first time in around one month. There are damselflies, podcast talk, gibberish, splashing rocks, and a lot of "why, daddydaddy?"

Owen and Dad hang out at a playground now they they have reopened. Owen's new favourite word is revealed... but he doesn't really show it off YET.

Another Making Music! This time with MUCH LESS Dad!Owen walks you through how to skateboard using a wicker basket while Dad makes noise in the background.

Another long jam with Owen! He does a few renditions of "The Rocket Ship Song" across the... 10+ minutes of this episode...

"I almost did a pop shove-it 160 180!"Owen plays around on the skateboard (with Dad's help).Note: Recorded from inside a pocket so it might sound a bit strange

Owen works on his body varials on Daddy's new skateboard. It was a windy day. Sorry.

Owen mixes his breakfast together in a truly... innovative way. And a thunderstorm is in the forecast!

Owen watches a wading pool get filled. Yes, we did come back later to play in it.
