Podcasts about beetle boy

I hear that whistle blowing - the beautiful sound of a train emerging from beneath the waves with the fabulous M.G. Leonard aboard, ready to scatter joy with her fabulous snack choices and fascinating insights into her seemingly endless list of endlessly brilliant books - including Beetle Boy, the Adventures on Trains series and The Twitchers books.  She's been translated into over forty languages but sadly, as yet, not the native language of the Island of Brilliant. Perhaps that's about to change. 

In this we review the latest release "Wonka", along with the previous DC release "Blue Beetle". We also discuss the latest instalment in the Hunger Games franchise, "Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes" along with Studio Ghibli and Hayao Miyazaki's last film "The Boy and the Heron".Timestamps:(1:48) - Blue Beetle(9:14) - Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes(17:09) - Wonka(23:31) - The Boy and the Heron(29:44) - SuzumeThe equipment we use:Rode Podmic: https://amzn.to/2LSeJPbRodecaster Pro: https://amzn.to/3bLykLPRode PSA1 Boom Arm: https://amzn.to/2M0ujIpXLR Cables: https://amzn.to/38QTEOgIf you want to support this podcast so we can keep producing our content for free consider the following options:Amazon Affiliate Link: https://amzn.to/3gjnw87Buy us a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/CRecalibrationAcast Supporter: https://supporter.acast.com/cognitive-recalibrationIf you enjoy our content, don't forget to subscribe so you never miss an episode.

Beetle Boy by M. G. Leonard

This week, we’re excited to share another short episode full of read-alouds with you! Here at Scholastic, we know that reading aloud with your child is one of the most important things you can do to, and it shouldn’t stop once they can read on their own. According to data from our recent Kids and Family Reading Report, the frequency of reading aloud drops off significantly after children turn 5, and again after they turn 8. But kids between the ages of 6 and 11 overwhelmingly reported that they still enjoy being read to! In the spirit of those findings, this week, we’re sharing five read-alouds for your 8- to 12-year-old.  Additional Resources:  More information about the Dog Man series Listen to our episode with Dav Pilkey, the creator of Captain Underpants and Dog Man More information about Beetle Boy by M.
