Podcasts about Reading Rainbow

This week, we're throwing it all the way back! We're counting down the Top 5 video games of 1996—a year that blessed us with pixelated perfection. Then we step into the ring and talk about a time when boxing your friends for fun wasn't just normal… it was a rite of passage.We revisit the goosebump-inducing Reading Rainbow intro, flip through the wildest Weekly World News headlines that made grocery store checkouts a full-blown adventure, and even take a deep inhale of that hot vinyl car interior smell that screamed summer's here, buckle up.Plus, we unpack that magical moment when the school year ended, and freedom hit like a sugar rush, and we dig into some epic mailbags full of love, nostalgia, and a few surprises from our awesome listeners.Today's episode was brought to you by Salty Water.

Hello, neighbor, I mean, Slackers!This week we are going to explore the educational live-action children's shows of the 1970s and 1980s that defined the Generation X experience. These programs were foundational, delivering lessons with creativity and care in an era before digital media. From the community spirit of Sesame Street to the gentle guidance of Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood, it's all about the shows that made education engaging and actually fun. My personal GOATs? Fred Rogers and Captain Kangaroo! The Electric Company used characters like Morgan Freeman's (!) Easy Reader to teach reading to older children, while Romper Room's Miss Nancy instilled manners through her Magic Mirror. Reading Rainbow, hosted by LeVar Burton, encouraged a love for literature, and Mr. Wizard's World made science accessible with Don Herbert's experiments. Each program contributed to a foundation of curiosity and empathy.There are also a ton of lesser-known shows like Zoom, which empowered children to create their own content, and The Big Blue Marble, which introduced global perspectives. Villa Alegre promoted bilingual learning, and 3-2-1 Contact brought STEM to life. These shows were more than entertainment; they were trusted sources of knowledge and connection for a generation.Available on Apple Podcasts, Spreaker, and major streaming platforms.

Join Aaron Alexander and John Humphrey as they whisk you away to the enchanted world of Disney's 1991 animated masterpiece, Beauty and the Beast. This timeless tale follows bookish Belle (Paige O'Hara, voice of Belle and Broadway star of the Beauty and the Beast stage musical) as she takes her father's place as the Beast's prisoner—only to discover the kind heart beneath his fearsome exterior. Starring Robby Benson as the Beast (celebrated for his lead role in Ice Castles and voice work in classic animated films), and featuring standout performances from Richard White as the arrogant Gaston (voice roles in various Disney projects), Jerry Orbach as the suave Lumière (beloved for Law & Order and Broadway's Chicago), David Ogden Stiers as the prim Cogsworth (renowned for MASH* and Reading Rainbow), and Angela Lansbury as the warm Mrs. Potts (Oscar‑nominated for The Manchurian Candidate and star of Murder, She Wrote). John & Aaron break down every unforgettable moment—from Belle's spirited “Belle (Reprise)” opening and the lavish “Be Our Guest” musical number to the iconic ballroom scene set to “Beauty and the Beast” and the thrilling castle siege that leads to the Beast's redemptive transformation.

I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Lesley Logan 0:47  Hello, Be It babe. Welcome to your, probably your favorite podcast episode comes on a Friday. Honestly, most podcasts on Fridays are long and who has the time? And really, you just want to know that it's Friday. This is like the TGIF. Did you ever watch that, Brad? Did you get to watch TGIF? Brad Crowell 1:01  No. Lesley Logan 1:02  Your parents didn't let you? Brad Crowell 1:03  No. Lesley Logan 1:04  Oh my God, Family Matters, Step By Step? Brad Crowell 1:07  Nope. Lesley Logan 1:08  Oh so good. It was like two hours of like sitcom shows that were weekly episodes. And we lived for TGIF. Brad Crowell 1:17  Yeah, I was allowed to watch, like, Mathnet and Reading Rainbow, and then we would go to TGIFriday's. Lesley Logan 1:23  No, that's a lot of money. Brad Crowell 1:25  Not the same. Lesley Logan 1:25  Never, no, no, no. Brad Crowell 1:28  Special occasions. Come on, let's be real.Lesley Logan 1:30  Yeah. So this is the Fuck Yeah Friday. It's the adult version of TGIF, and it's actually where we celebrate some of your wins you've sent in, and some of ours. Brad Crowell 1:38  Yes. Lesley Logan 1:39  So we have Ainsley. We just got back from Cambodia with Ainsley. Brad Crowell 1:42  We did. Lesley Logan 1:43  And we're gonna see her in March. And she said, so this, obviously, this win is from a bit ago, because it's before, before Cambodia. But she said currently boarded and sat on the plane for Cambodia, that's got to be a huge win. 10 beautiful days filled with adventure Pilates and Pilates people, oh, and so far, there's no one sat next to me. I'm excited for the adventures that lay ahead.Brad Crowell 2:07  Well, I could attest those were adventures.Lesley Logan 2:10  They were amazing adventures. Brad Crowell 2:12  It was incredible. Lesley Logan 2:12  And that was Ainsley's two years in a row. Brad Crowell 2:13  Yeah, second time joining us. Yeah. Lesley Logan 2:16  Fabulous. Like, it's amazing. It was amazing to watch Ainsley do it a year again, like, in a row. Brad Crowell 2:22  Yeah, your limit. Lesley Logan 2:22  And just see how much her life has changed because of what she implemented from the last retreat. And now I can't even wait to see, no, we'll just see her in March at another retreat, so, here at the house, so I can't wait to see what she's implemented by then.Brad Crowell 2:35  Yeah, it's gonna be amazing. Lesley Logan 2:36  All right, we have Erin Donohue. Brad Crowell 2:38  Okay. Lesley Logan 2:38  She is an eLevate OG grad. Brad Crowell 2:40  Oh, yeah. Lesley Logan 2:41  And she wrote so many wins. Backstory to my personal win. With the help of Lesley Logan, my incredible partner, Kim Craig, and the amazing ladies in my eLevate cohort, I've realized my worth and found the strength to leave my emotionally abusive marriage. I had to quit my job in a private practice PT, and take a hospital-based job to get health insurance and a salary to pay my bills. After a year of hustling, I saved up enough money for the eLevate retreat in 2025. I can't wait. My practice win, I made time for movement snacks throughout the week. It helped me stay consistent. Today was 15 minutes on the chair before my afternoon client. My teaching win, I have a client who practices Pilates in a bigger body. She told me this week after a session, I never thought I'd find a form of exercise that I like, but I really like this. I am so honored to teach her.Brad Crowell 3:26  Wow, that is a lot. Lesley Logan 3:28  I'm emotional.Brad Crowell 3:29  That is a lot. Lesley Logan 3:30  I'm gonna cry. So first of all, a year ago, we're on winter tour, and on the day that this comes out, we'll have just seen Erin in Hershey, actually. Brad Crowell 3:39  Oh, fun. Lesley Logan 3:40  I don't know. Maybe not. Guys, don't ask. Two days from now, we're gonna see Erin in Hershey two days from now. Okay, so we're recording this in the past for the future. But she had said are you going to do the Elevate retreat again? And I said I don't know, you know, like, I was hoping more people would want to come, and this is important. Like, not everything goes the way you want. But she's like, oh, I really wanted to go. Just couldn't make it happen this year. I said okay, look, I will do it one more time, and you have to come, and you have to get other people to come, and she fucking did it. I love that we get to share this win on this FYF, because some of these wins are years in the making. Brad Crowell 4:14  Yeah. Lesley Logan 4:17  And I also think it's really cool that she shared she had to make some really tough decisions, like leaving a job that you love to do a job that you also are qualified to do, but maybe you have to make some changes to your schedule or changes where you work, or changes with who you work, so that you can make the life changes that are going to be long lasting. You can look at this with a lens of oh, that sucks. Instead of oh, I get to do this so that I can have these things. I just really love that she shared that with us. Because sometimes we have to make decisions in our life that feel like a setback, but they're really set ups for opportunities, and also that teaching win is fucking beautiful. Brad Crowell 4:50  That's super fun. That's the kind of client that makes you excited to show up for work. So totally love that. Totally get that. Lesley Logan 4:57  Yeah, oh my God, Erin, thank you so much. And Ainsley, for sharing these wins. Also, I just want to highlight Ainsley's one more time. Do you see how she made no one is currently sat next to me as a win like wins don't have to be efforting that like, you did. It could be lack of effort on someone else's part.Lesley Logan 5:15  All right, I have a win, unless you have one. Brad Crowell 5:17  No, go. Lesley Logan 5:18  Okay, this podcast is in the top 1.5%. Brad Crowell 5:20  What? Lesley Logan 5:22  Yeah.Brad Crowell 5:22  I know. I'm excited. Lesley Logan 5:24  So when we launched the podcast, because of our dedicated listenership, we actually launched at the top 2% like, which is cool and incredible. We were beating our friends, and that felt weird and cool. We would never say that in front of their face. I was like, I'm proud of us for doing that. But then we sat at 2% forever. And now look, here's the deal. Brad Crowell 5:43  For how many it's. Lesley Logan 5:44  When did we launch in '21 or '22? Brad Crowell 5:46  2021? 2021. Lesley Logan 5:48  2021. So three and a half years. Brad Crowell 5:50  Yeah, three and a half years. Lesley Logan 5:51  Yeah. And here's the deal, we also, in those three and a half years, thousands, tens of thousands of podcasts have launched. Brad Crowell 5:58  Oh my gosh. Lesley Logan 5:58  So we didn't. Brad Crowell 5:59  Probably millions. Lesley Logan 5:59  Millions. We didn't drop out of the top 2% but it was just frustrating, because in all the podcasts of all the world, we were in the same spot for three and a half years about, with all the effort that we were doing. And I'm like, I don't, doesn't anyone like us, the downloads are going up. What's going up? But honestly, I, we might have hit 1.5% a month ago or two months ago, but I stopped looking because I was getting really sad about it. So that is a team win, and also it's a win that includes you, because your listening is what made it happen. So you get a listen score and a percentage, and the percentage gets better as the listen score goes up, which means the number of people who are listening, but also the amount of time they're listening, so listen all the way to the end, or at least fast forward. But don't skip the mantra. So anyways, I think that's a great win.Brad Crowell 6:50  Yeah, that's a good one. That's amazing. It's exciting to see forward progress, for sure. Sometimes it has felt like, are we spinning our wheels? But no, apparently we're not. So, that's exciting. I love it.Lesley Logan 6:59  Yeah. I love it. Brad Crowell 7:01  Validation. Lesley Logan 7:02  That's exactly what that was. Yeah. Okay, so the mantra for today, I embrace change seamlessly and rise to the new opportunity it presents. There's a lot of words in this. Brad Crowell 7:14  I embrace change seamlessly and rise to the new opportunity it presents. Lesley Logan 7:19  Yes, we repeat it three times, I embrace change seamlessly and rise to the new opportunity it presents. I mean, it's December, like, middle of December, like, right now, guys, there's a lot of change that probably not many of us are doing well, seamlessly well. So let's try it. And there's an opportunity it presents. And I think that actually goes align with the two wins that we shared with our listeners and ours, you know, so I don't know that we were that seamless and celebrating the fuck out of yes, we're 1.5% and I can't wait the next step is 1%. Brad Crowell 7:51  Heck yeah, let's do this. Lesley Logan 7:53  Alright. Thank you all so very much. Until next time, Be It Till You See It. Brad Crowell 7:56  Bye for now. Lesley Logan 7:58  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

It's the start of a new LMH year, and with that comes the potential for all new tenners for your listening pleasure.In this episode we get some fantastic tracks.  "Mr. X" from Mega Man 6 shows how Capcom was still putting out bangers on the NES, even for the late releases of the console's lifespan.  We also hear from a Mega Drive Meganet game with the track "Nineball Game" from Kiss

Take a look, there is no book. Because this isn't the Reading Rainbow. This is Popcorn Pulse and we do movies. So how about a movie that was written by the same guy who did LA Confidential? You might remember it as the movie which got a lot of buzz back in the nineties. Going so far as to get Oscar noms. You can imagine a writer might try to get lightning to strike twice after that. Because everybody wants both Hollywood money and acclaim. We bring you Street Kings[2008]. It stars Keanu as a cop who drinks and is depressed. He had a falling out with his partner, played … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 230: 44 Kings"

Our precious friend Amy Ragon is back by popular demand!  We love Amy for many reasons, especially her ability to have the deepest, richest conversations in the most relatable way. We talk about what it means to leave a legacy (shoutout Reading Rainbow!) and how to evaluate who we are becoming.  Amy shares what the Lord is teaching her, including some powerful encouragement for anyone in a waiting season.  We talk about discipleship and how we misunderstood what it actually means.  We talk about confessional community and how to identify and confess the deeply rooted sin in our life, plus how teach all of this to our children.  We consider the difference in listening vs. hearing and how to honor God well in our interactions with others. This converstion is so packed and so powerful and we are grateful for it!  Thank you, Amy, for always making us feel seen, heard and valued!   On legacy:  "Who are you becoming?" "What is available and waiting for us if we just have eyes to see it?"  On discipleship: "The gospel is always present in every conversation, even if it's not spoken.  Do we have ears to hear it?"

We are joined by our good friend Mic Fox to discuss the omnichord, Reading Rainbow, the iPod, and much more!

Hey kids. We are back with another awesome episode of Worlds Famous. This time out we open up a Casey Jones figure from Ross, talk about The Bus and a grumpy driver then we do some flea market finds including one LIFE CHANGING FIND! This is a big one! Maybe better than the Hasbros from the other month.  There is also some Reading Rainbow and a bit more..  Listen dudes this is important. Make sure to tell a friend. We really need your help with this. Let's spread the word! 

On Episode 256 of Jake's Happy Nostalgia Show, we interview authors Barbara Irwin, Tony Buttino Sr. and Pam Johnson! Barbara, Tony and Pam recently wrote the book Creating Reading Rainbow: The Untold Story of a Beloved Children's Series, which covers the long-running PBS literacy series Reading Rainbow, which Tony also co-created! The new book talks about how Reading Rainbow first came to be, working with a public television station in Buffalo, the affect it had on millions of children's reading abilities and so much more!

In this episode of the Mob Mentality Show, we are excited to have Dave Copeland share his experiences in the world of agile development, focusing on the critical nuances behind well-known principles such as SRP (Single Responsibility Principle), YAGNI (You Aren't Gonna Need It), DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself), and the often-debated #NoEstimates approach. Drawing from his journey transitioning from government waterfall projects to agile methodologies at a startup, Dave kicks off a discussion with invaluable lessons on how teams can avoid misunderstanding and misapplying agile aphorisms, or avoid the pitfalls of following agile aphorisms too woodenly. ### The Dangers of Following the Literal Words of Agile Aphorisms? Have you ever seen a team stuck arguing over what SRP or SOLID (Single Responsibility, Open-Closed, Liskov Substitution, Interface Segregation, Dependency Inversion) truly means? Dave explains how teams can misinterpret these catchy phrases, leading to confusion, low cohesion, improper coupling, and poor decision-making. We dive into real-world examples from Dave's experience, discussing when it's okay to duplicate code and when it's not, the delicate balance between over-engineering and under-engineering, and the importance of nuance in agile practices. ### "Just Sharing" vs. Universal Recommendations Is it wise to blindly follow every "recommendation" from an agile coach, or is there room for discussion, experimentation, and adaptation? With Dave we tackle the common issue of semantic diffusion. We explore how teams can navigate complex situations and adapt agile and lean principles to their unique contexts. ### Organizational Change and Safe Learning Environments We bring in the “Reading Rainbow” analogy and other examples to illustrate how organizational change needs to be gradual, allowing for nuanced learning. We also emphasize the importance of creating an environment where team members can safely fail while being guided by experienced developers in real-world contexts. Whether you're scaling a team or trying to stack the deck with the right mix of skills, actionable strategies for fostering growth are discussed.  ### Estimates, #NoEstimates, and Dealing with Uncertainty The conversation gets even more interesting as we delve into the jarring #NoEstimates and its sometimes misunderstood implications. Dave brings up valid situations with real deadlines (e.g., seasonal deliveries, regulations) and we weigh-in on ways to handle them with or without estimates that are less likely to lead to self-sabotage. We also discuss the impact of automation on estimates, and what terms like "estimate" really mean. Continuous Delivery (CD) also takes center stage as we discuss examples of how it and the practice of "don't sell what you don't already have built" fosters trust and reduces uncertainty. We touch on the various unknowns that can arise in development, how CD can help mitigate them, and whether teams can benefit from an "#OptionalEstimates" mindset. Throughout, Dave provides practical advice on aligning practices with business goals and managing risks effectively. ### Coaching, Coding, and Higher-Level Roles Finally, we explore Dave's thoughts on balancing hands-on coding with coaching responsibilities, especially in higher-level roles. How do you set expectations for coaches, and how can team composition shape the effectiveness of good practices? Whether you're actively writing code or stepping back to guide others, Dave shares examples for making both approaches work. Don't miss this episode packed with deep dives into agile practices, team dynamics, and nuanced leadership.

By gum, if there's one thing this children's literature podcast needs, it's more Reading Rainbow books from the days of yore. And if that's something we need to go out and find, then surely we will. We were inspired to give this particular book a go after Betsy saw the model of its vehicle on display at Kansas City's The Rabbit Hole. In this episode we discuss the prevalence of the same "a" sound, why this has a Popemobile top, xenomorphs, and extra car features that create duplicate children.

What the constitutional amendments on the August primary ballot mean. The history of the EAA. The documentary “Butterfly in the Sky" tells the story of the TV series “Reading Rainbow.”

LeVar Burton has three roles he'll forever be known for: Kunta Kinte on the TV series Roots, Geordi La Forge on Star Trek: The Next Generation and host of Reading Rainbow. Those roles have had profound impacts on people and he now understands, as he puts it, "my job is to be LeVar Burton." He talks to Rachel about the tension of that job, his changing definitions of success and learning to embrace the chaos.To listen sponsor-free, access bonus episodes and support the show, sign up for Wild Card+ at plus.npr.org/wildcard Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

There's a new Banksy museum in New York that has not been approved by the artist, but if he were to sue them he might reveal his closely guarded anonymity, and we are delighted that someone might beat him at his own game. We discuss Kansas City Chiefs' football player Harrison Butker's commencement speech telling women to stifle ambitions, be submissive to husbands, and become mothers, and why the reaction of his coach and teammates (including Taylor Swift's man Travis Kelce) reveal how misogyny is still accepted. We celebrate the Reading Rainbow documentary and the work Levar Burton and the show did to help inspire readers across genders and races. We announce changes to the astrological calendar that might affect which horoscope sign is yours! A town in Texas tried to have the largest gathering of people with the same name, but they failed, and we have some ideas why. We hear what age becomes a person's measure of all things cool, and learn why political affiliation predicts how nostalgic you are. We learn about a new sport called slap fighting, the rules involved, and debate why men enjoy violence.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comJoin our Candy Club, shop our merch, sign-up for our free newsletter, & more by visiting The Brain Candy Podcast website: https://www.thebraincandypodcast.comConnect with us on social media:BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSponsors:Stop wasting money on things you don't use.

You may think you know LeVar Burton. After starring in the seminal 1977 mini-series Roots, he hosted Reading Rainbow and starred alongside Sir Patrick Stewart in Star Trek: The Next Generation. These days he hosts the podcasts LeVar Burton Reads, in which he reads his favorite short fiction, and Sound Detectives, for kids who want to explore the magic and mystery of sound. But did you know that, as a teenager, LeVar bought steaks and lobsters that “fell off the back of a truck” and brought them home to his mom? Or that he's very particular about his PB&J sandwiches?
