Some see raccoons as nature's bandits.These masked marauders are known for rifling through yourtrashcans under the cover of night, seeking to collect a big score. But there's one raccoon on PBS Kids who's not after your castoffs—he's capturing children's hearts instead.Welcome to our special episode on “Carl the Collector,” agroundbreaking animated series that shines a light on neurodiversity through the adventures of Carl, an autistic raccoon with a gusto for collecting.

Welcome to Jake's Happy Nostalgia Show, the podcast where nostalgia comes alive!In this episode, we're joined by the dynamic Canadian composing duo Steve D'Angelo and Terry Tompkins, the musical minds behind some of the most beloved children's shows of the past few decades. If you grew up watching PBS Kids, chances are you've heard their unforgettable work! From Peep and the Big Wide World to Fetch! with Ruff Ruffman, Design Squad, WordGirl and Super Why!, Steve and Terry have helped shape the sound of educational entertainment for a generation. They've also left their musical mark on iconic series like Zoom (remake), Arthur, Molly of Denali, Astroblast!, and even Thomas & Friends. In our conversation, we dive into their creative process, the unique challenges of composing for children's television, and how they balance fun, emotion, and education through music. We also chat about Steve's work in feature films and documentaries, and Terry's role as a founding member of the folk rock band Lost & Profound.

Today, we're talking about awe and wonder and all the incredible benefits that these simple and accessible emotions can have in terms of learning and child development. And I have the perfect guest here to talk about it — Deborah Farmer Kris, a child development expert, longtime educator, and author of the wonderful new book Raising Awe-Seekers: How the Science of Wonder Helps Our Kids Thrive. In this conversation, we talk about how and why awe is such a powerful tool for emotional regulation, learning, and resilience for our kids. Deborah shares some of the neuroscience behind wonder and walks us through how simple moments of awe, like listening to music, walking outside, or witnessing a small act of kindness, can lower stress, spark curiosity, and build deeper connections for our kids. She also offered strategies for cultivating awe with your child, even during the most challenging seasons of parenting. This episode is a beautiful reminder that we don't have to add one more thing to our to-do lists to make a meaningful shift. Sometimes, it's about slowing down, noticing what's already here, and inviting our kids into that sense of wonder with us. And I think what I love about this so much is that awe is something that's available to all of us, and experiencing it, even for little moments, not only feels wonderful (pun intended), but it has very real, positive benefits. About Deborah Deborah Farmer Kris is a child development expert and the author of "Raising Awe-Seekers: How the Science of Wonder Helps Our Kids Thrive,” the I See You board book series, and the All the Time picture book series. Her bylines include CNN, PBS KIDS, NPR's Mindshift, The Washington Post, the Boston Globe Magazine, and Oprah Daily. Deborah is currently an expert advisor for the PBS KIDS show, “Carl the Collector,” and spent 20+ years as a K-12 educator. Mostly, she loves sharing nuggets of practical wisdom that can make the parenting journey a little easier.   You'll learn: How the powerful emotion of awe builds resilience and supports well-being Why curiosity and wonder spark internal motivation and deeper learning How to tap into nature, art, music, and kindness as everyday sources of awe for children Why experiencing awe can lower stress, improve memory, and support emotional regulation How parents can nurture awe by modeling curiosity and slowing down with their kids Ideas for creating small, shared moments of wonder strengthen connection and support family wellness  Resources: Deborah Farmer Kris' website Parenthood 365 Raising Awe-Seekers: How the Science of Wonder Helps Our Kids Thrive by Deborah Farmer Kris Raising Awe-Seekers Podcast Deborah on Instagram Deborah on LinkedIn You Wonder All the Time by Deborah Farmer Kris You Are Growing All the Time by Deborah Farmer Kris I Love You All the Time by Deborah Farmer Kirs You Have Feelings All the Time by Deborah Farmer Kris Dr. Dacher Kelter Dr. Michele Borba Mindshift (KQED / PBS) Pub Choir Robert Waldinger Hope for Cynics: The Surprising Science of Human Goodness by Jamil Zaki The Happiness Study at Harvard Challenge Success I Love N.Y.E.

New episodes release every Wednesday starting March 12th.. Ever wonder if your pet is lying to you, what's inside a black hole or if you'd survive being cryogenically frozen? Each week, "ScienceStuff" will tackle the kind of questions everyday people have always wanted to know the answer to including: Do you really have to wait 30 minutes before you can go swimming?Are near-death experiences real?What exactly are Quantum Computers? With infectious curiosity, Cham, a former roboticist and Caltech researcher and instructor, will take listeners on a fun and illuminating dive into a new question each week, talk to experts and explain the history and latest scientific results on each topic. Jorge Cham obtained his Ph.D. in robotics from Stanford University and was an instructor and research associate at Caltech before leaving academia to create "Piled Higher and Deeper" (known as "PHD Comics"), a favorite comic strip of scientists and academics with millions of readers online and in print.

The next few weeks are critical, says WKAR Public Media General Manager Shawn Turner. As Congress prepares to vote on the issue of federal funding for public media, the most important voices that will influence the decisions of lawmakers are yours.Approximately $1.60 is the amount each taxpayer contributes to federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. That $1.60 is seed money for a national system of local public television and radio stations. Shawn Turner joins me now to expound on the value of public media. Americans receive a lot of public services in communities across the country for $1.60.Conversation Highlights:(1:08) - Public media provides an essential universal service. Together, public media broadcasters reach up to 99 percent of the American populations, regardless of zip code or income level, including in communities where commercial television can't succeed. The value extends well beyond radio and television.  (2:42) - Public media is the only free, national media resource that operates with a public service mission, not commercial interest. At WKAR Public Media from Michigan State University, we serve our mission to inform, educate, and inspire through sharing exceptional original content, connecting with community, fostering learning, and much more.  (3:43) - The noncommercial model is particularly important and unique in the children's media space. PBS stations reach more parents of young children than any other children's TV networks. 63 percent of parents surveyed named PBS KIDS® the most educational media brand for children, substantially outscoring the second-most highly rated brand, YouTube, at 13 percent.  (5:04) - Public media stations are locally operated and locally controlled, providing unique, local, essential services. They make their own programming decisions reflecting the unique needs of those living within their broadcast area. For WKAR, that local control means the ability to serve audiences across a region that includes a state capital, a Big Ten University, manufacturing facilities and family-owned farms. (6:24) – WKAR is committed to providing locally focused, balanced content that serves the needs and broad range of viewpoints across this varied community. Michigan hunting and fishing, DIY and travel shows, classical music, performing arts, drama, politics and government. There truly is something for everyone. (7:28) - The work and impact of any local public media station goes far beyond the broadcast. Stations engage in community events that celebrate local cultures and foster open discussion. Many have educational outreach efforts that connect educators and caregivers with free educational broadcast, streaming and gaming resources available from PBS KIDS.  (9:03) – How can listeners and viewers make their voices heard in support of WKAR and all public media?Listen to “MSU Today with Russ White” on the radio and through Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you get your shows.

Send us a text In this episode, Dr. Eeks is joined by neuroscientist Dr. Dwayne Godwin and cartoonist Dr. Jorge Cham, the creative duo behind Out of Your Mind, a book that makes neuroscience both fun and digestible—perfect for Nerds and Nerd Nots alike (yes, that's my podcast tagline). They kick things off with love—what it is, why we fall for some people and not others, and whether science could create a love potion that turns romance into a biochemical hostage situation. From love, they move to hate and how some people actually get addicted to hate. They'll also discuss AI—whether it could ever develop consciousness and what that might mean for humanity—before diving into addiction and the ongoing debate over how much of it is choice versus biology. They'll talk about happiness, whether money can actually buy it, and a bizarre true medical case of a man who, after a brain surgery gone wrong, was left permanently stuck in the present moment.  Finally, they'll explore what happens when we die and whether the authors ever get existentially bummed out thinking about how fragile and robotic we really are. If you like science with a side of humor and deep, slightly absurd questions, this episode is for you. Dr. Dwayne Godwin is a neuroscientist, educator, and professor in the Department of Translational Neuroscience at Wake Forest University School of Medicine. His research focuses on abnormal brain rhythms, exploring calcium channel function, epilepsy, and traumatic brain injury to develop potential treatments for neurological diseases. Beyond the lab, he is passionate about science outreach, co-creating Mind in Pictures for Scientific American Mind and contributing to blogs for the Society for Neuroscience and the Museum of the Moving Image. Dr. Jorge Cham is a Daytime Emmy-nominated, best-selling cartoonist and the creator of PHD Comics, a popular online comic strip about academia. He is the co-creator, Executive Producer, and Creative Director of Elinor Wonders Why, a top-rated PBS Kids animated series. Cham has co-authored several popular science books, including We Have No Idea: A Guide to the Unknown Universe and Frequently Asked Questions about the Universe, as well as the children's book Oliver's Great Big Universe. He also co-hosts and co-creates the hit podcast Daniel and Jorge Explain the Universe. Originally from Panama, Cham earned his Ph.D. in robotics from Stanford University and was a researcher at Caltech.You can contact Dr. Eeks at bloomingwellness.com.Follow Eeks on Instagram here.Or Facebook here.Or X.On Youtube.Or TikTok.SUBSCRIBE to her monthly newsletter here.Support the show

This new book I've written SWEET DREAMS AHEAD FOR BED is a story that literally outlines the steps for getting ready for sleep for babies to four-year-olds. Also, in the book are tips for parents on how to get your child to go to sleep. And what I've discovered in the new books I've been doing is the front of the book is the story, and the back four pages are parenting information...So, now what's happening is parents are reading the book out loud, then they're reading the tips. It's a wonderful way to get information to parents. This has really been successful. Tish Rabe (“Robby”) is a bestselling children's author, professional singer, animation Head Writer, scriptwriter and lyricist.

Do you worry that your neurodivergent child might not see themselves represented in the stories they love? If you've ever felt this way, this episode of Beautifully Complex is just what you need.I'm Penny Williams, your host and fellow parent navigating the beautifully complex world of neurodivergence. In this episode, I sit down with Deborah Farmer Kris to discuss the heartfelt and eye-opening representation of neurodivergent characters in children's media — a subject that touches deeply on both our worries and hopes for our kids.We're unpacking an inspiring new PBS Kids show, Carl the Collector, which beautifully portrays neurodivergent characters in ways that resonate with everyday realities. From an autistic raccoon who finds comfort in collecting, to a girl musician on the spectrum labeled "headphone girl," these characters' journeys offer profound lessons in empathy and acceptance.Tune in as we explore some scenes from Carl the Collector and what we can learn from them:Heartwarming experiences of children overcoming teasing and bullying, evolving into genuine friendships.Small, yet significant moments of neurodivergent behaviors — like “finger stim” or “tail stim” — that are portrayed without fanfare, normalizing differences.Practical ways parents can utilize these media examples to spark conversations about neurodiversity and foster a more supportive home environment.Together, Deborah and I highlight the sensory-sensitive design of these shows, making them inclusive and affirming for all kids. We discuss how these positive portrayals can be a beacon of hope, not just for neurodivergent kids, but for all families striving for acceptance and understanding.Get inspired by actionable tips that will help you teach empathy, recognize strengths, and foster independence. Let's work together to build an inclusive world where every child feels seen, heard, and valued.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/beautifully-complex--6137613/support.
