It's Staycation Destinations on Family Life We take a Trolley to this week's Staycation Destination. The Pennsylvania Trolley Museum offers a ride into pre-automobile history. Most people think of the Land of Make-Believe in Mister Rogers' Neighborhood when they think of trolleys. However, the electrified mode of transportation was real-world big business, shaped the development of metro areas, and expanded ways people could go beyond their neighborhoods to go to work, medical appointments and social events. Volunteer tour guide Gary Malaskovitz gives Greg Gillispie and our listeners a vision of that history, plus a ride on one of the nine fully-restored trolleys which still offer rides to the museum's visitors (and guests of the annual Washington County Fair!). You'll also hear from some of the children who enjoyed a simulator which allows them to drive a trolley. In addition to what aired during our Family Life Noon Report, you also have bonus content where Malaskovitz talks more about what young families enjoy about the Trolley Museum (many are fans of Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, Donkey Hodie and Thomas the Tank Engine) -- plus his own story, growing up and riding the trolleys of Pittsburgh.   The Pennsylvania Trolley Museum is at 1 Electric Way in Washington, Pennsylvania. During the summer, it is closed Mondays, but open on holidays. Outside of summer, the museum operates Friday through Sunday. Their website is at www.PA-trolley.org.

Sam gets a little confused at the start of the show, and Mark brings out a Shakespearean tragedy wildcard!Our VO question this week is all about how easy it is to transition between stage acting and voice acting.Get involved! Have you got a Wildcard suggestion that we should try or an idea for the show? Send it to us via Mark or Sam's social media or email it directly to podcast@britishvoiceover.co.ukScript 1Embracing mindfulness in the kitchen allows you to turn an everyday task into a moment of peace and presence. The best part? You're incorporating mindfulness into something you already do, making it an effortless addition to your routine. Job done!Start by setting the stage for mindfulness. Take a moment to breathe deeply and clear your mind. Gather all your ingredients and tools, arranging them neatly. Notice the colours, textures, and shapes of the ingredients. Lift the herbs to your nose and smell them. As you wash your hands, feel the temperature of the water and the sensation of cleanliness.Script 2On phone (to Dave Goodwin, CEO of EVATION): Of course. I'll be there right away. Narration: May 21st. I receive a call from Goodwin, known to his friends as Dave. He's CEO of a finance company called EVATION, and they're in a whole world of trouble. Caught up in the middle of a money laundering crisis from hell, and I already have a bad feeling about this case. I'd better not keep him waiting.

You'll remember Mo from our Christmas 2023 episode: "Christmas with Mo - Wrong Side, Flip Me Over". Anyway, Mo joined Squidge to talk about the ultimate comfy game: Stardew Valley.Waffling Taylor's Lite: the pocket size podcast that packs a gaming punch.In this first of two servings of bite sized banter with a side of gaming goodness, we catch up with Mo from The Squank and the Hag podcast to talk about all things Stardew Valley. We cover everything from fish fridges, channelling your inner Flappy Bird, to bard versus Darth Vader.So without further ado, sit back, grab some snacks, and get ready for this episode entitled: "Exploring Stardew Valley: A New Farmer's Tale - Part One"Take it away, guys— SquidgeAnd Mo started us off with a pretty in-depth description of her and her podcast:So I am one of the co-hosts from The Squank and the Hag. You can find us thesquonkandthehag.com. I am a nerd, and that's really all there is, I think....But video games, movies, TV, pretty much anything that can be nerdy, I'm into. I'm also into True Crime, and that's what our podcast is about.And, yeah, I feel like I've been on the show enough that I'm part of the family, so I'm sorry. Yeah, I'm just another Taylor. I am here to adjust your clothing. I'll hem your... Isn't that what it is? Isn't that what you guys are? Like, I can hem your pants for you. I actually can hem your pants for you.— MoStardew What-now?And there's no way to talk about Stardew Valley without talking about how easy it is to pick up and play. Mo hit the nail on the head with:That right there is pretty much what they should make the synopsis of the game:"I picked it up and I haven't put it down since," because there, it is just one of those games that anybody can play. Like it, it's just... so accessible, it's so. Just easy to get into and it's so low stress and relaxing....So, like, different play styles can play it and everybody can enjoy it.And it's also just really nice relaxation because sometimes, at least I know for me; now, I am someone with a diagnosed anxiety disorder. So when I get into, like, those high stress, like, first person shooter games, I'm sitting here and I'm all tense and I'm like, "I'M GONNA DIE!"Whereas with Stardew Valley you don't have that and it's just enjoyable— MoMo then goes on to mention a Stardew Valley-like which is set during a zombie apocalypse. With some post-edit sluthing, we found out that the game Mo was referring to was Zelter.And Squidge brought up a really good point about what makes the game so accessible:I think Stardew Valley, a thing that's got going for it is there's no fail state.Apart from if you're in, if you're like dungeon diving in the mines, if you get knocked out, you wake up at like the little clinic hospital place and they take some money off you for medical expenses.

On this week's episode, Chris and Sylvie struggle to find anything of value to say about a show for preschoolers that is the epitome of lazy edutainment. A cobbled-together variety program which lets the creators of Thomas the Tank Engine and stock footage from 60 years ago pad the runtime, there is nothing to the paltry animation of Salty's Lighthouse beyond the decades old footage it records over. Yes, turns out this was a secret CanaDUB episode all-along that took the British nautical puppet show TUGS and made it more Canadian. We had nothing to talk about here, so we mostly let Sylvie politely hijack the episode to teach Chris about the rarely discussed Canadian classic Theodore Tugboat. We pulled a real Salty's Lighthouse and padded our own runtime this week...yet we showed more effort, somehow. Episodes covered for the podcast are Episode 19 & 20 "Strike Up the Band" & "Blanketly Blank." Animation directed by Sue Peters and Jeff Hall, and written by Barry Harman, Steve Edelman, and Scott Guy respectively. Original airdates February 6th and February 13th, 1998.

A Chatham mum is fuming after the remainder of an £80 birthday cake she bought for her young son was eaten after she left it at a party venue.She'd splashed out on the Thomas the Tank Engine-themed showstopper for her six-year-old's bash at a bowling alley in the Pentagon. Also in today's podcast, a woman from Ashford is encouraging us all to know the symptoms of breast cancer after she nearly went undiagnosed. The 40-year-old dismissed her symptoms as a sign of the menopause, and only saw a gp after her husband encouraged her. A Kent dad is demanding an apology after his two-year-old daughter was left in tears after wetting herself at a seaside arcade because staff said she couldn't use the toilet. That's despite the family paying to use the amusements in Margate - the company bosses have blamed a lack of public facilities. Ambitious plans for  a huge concert hall on a town centre car park have been put on hold while developers consider making some changes. It was hoped the £9m project in Ashford would transform the nightlife, bringing West End shows, music concerts and opera to the town.And a restaurant boss who braced the biting cold to provide kebabs for the homeless in Thanet has brushed off claims he is a “show off”.In sub-zero temperatures, the owner of a Minster restaurant handed out left over food to rough sleepers but has been criticised for posting about it on social media.

In this episode of The Autistic Culture Podcast:Angela Lauria and Matt Lowry delve into the fascinating world of trains and their special relationship with the Autistic community. “So it looks like we're talking about trains, or it looks like we're talking about Pokemon, but we're really talking about how autistic joy is found, how we invent things as autistic people, how we create.” –AngelaThomas the Tank Engine was created in 1945 by a father based on his Autistic son's love of trains. Thomas has been popular with Autistic kids (and adults!) since it aired on TV in the 1980s. Studies show strong affinity in the Autistic community.The new Thomas series introduces Bruno, an Autistic brake car. Bruno was carefully crafted with input from Autistic writers, Autistic actors, and ASAN (Autistic Self-Advocacy Network) to prove an accurate fictional representation and neurodivergent role model for kids.“Mattel worked with ASAN for three years and all sorts of Autistic representatives, Autistic advocates, Autistic authors, and we're going to get to all of these in just a minute, about how to develop Bruno to make him an authentically and delightful Autistic representation.” –MattBruno represents positive, authentic Autistic representation, versus a stereotype or checkbox. The hosts contrast to how how Sheldon is portrayed on The Big Bang Theory, calling it an Autistic minstrel show because of how it spreads misinformation and is offensive in many ways.They conclude quality Autistic representation is vital for autistic kids to see themselves included. Thomas sets a great example of how to do it right.The podcast hosts also share personal anecdotes and insights into the deep love and fascination Autistic people have with trains. From the sensory experiences to the repetitive patterns, there is something about trains that resonates with the Autistic mind and has a big effect on Autistic culture.Are you a train fan?
