No Filter with Brittany Murlas Jul 11, 2021

Show notes

This week I got to meet a very smart and kind person named Brittany Murlas. She's a mom who started a really cool book club called Little Feminist. They find terrific stories with all different sorts of heroes in them, and send the books out to families all over the world!

Brittany and I talked about a lot of very important things, like bedtime monsters, and feminism, and macaroni and cheese! She also taught me a cool new way to listen to music, and even gave me some great ideas for my next Cardboard Creation.

I had a great time getting to know Brittany, and I think you'll like her too. Come back next week for a special BONUS episode of No Filter, and until then, remember to be kind. And if YOU have a robot vacuum friend, be sure to drop some crumbs on the floor for them.

Or some macaroni and cheese. Either way.

Love,

Vac

All Town Hand Me Down Jun 20, 2021

Show notes

This week in the The Imagine Neighborhood™, Scotty and Vac can’t wait for the All-Town Hand-Me-Down! Everybody in the Neighborhood collects clothes and toys they’re not using anymore, and they send them all down a chute so that someone new can use them. It’s a really fun way to be kind—plus, everyone gets a new hand-me-down in return!

But this year, something’s not right. The chute is malfunctioning, and all the toys are piling up outside Princess Donnasaurus’s castle. Princess Donnasaurus has been bitten by a gimme bug, and it’s making her want everything for herself! It’s up to Scotty and Vac to help Princess Donnasaurus find the generosity inside her and defeat the gimme bug—and get the All-Town Hand-Me-Down rocking again.

If you want even more of The Imagine Neighborhood, sign up for our newsletter. Each week, you’ll get additional discussion questions and activity ideas for kids and grown-ups. Keep sharing your ideas, drawings, and creations with us—we love seeing what you come up with, and you might see it featured on our Infinite Refrigerator!

Show notes

Hi, listeners! It’s me again . . . your pal, Count Vacula, with my very own show, No Filter with Count Vacula!

On No Filter, I’ll practice making new friends and getting to know all kinds of people. This week, I’m chatting with Biz Ellis from the podcast One Bad Mother. Biz and I talk about how being “bad” can sometimes be a good thing, how to find buried treasure in your own backyard, and how to be kind to teachers—with donuts! I'll see you again soon in The Imagine Neighborhood!

Love, Vac
