Episode 38 – The Berenstain Bears and the Neighborly Skunk!

DIBC-EP38

When is a skunk not a skunk? When it’s a stand-in for PREJUDICE! This week, Brandi Brown of Brandi and Bill talk about Blaxploitation (among MANY OTHER THINGS) joins me to discuss a book that is short of pages but long on social commentary. Where did all the non-bear animals in Bear Country go? If different bears are different races, what are different species? Should Mama Bear change her clothes to go camping? All this . . . and more!

Don’t forget, Brandi will be at the Acme Comedy Co. in Minneapolis Tuesday, Feb. 23 through Saturday, Feb. 27. And, she’ll be on the Gilmore Guys podcast live show March 5 at The Woman’s Club of Minneapolis.

Here’s a link to Brandi’s coverage of “The Berenstain Bears Lost in Cyberspace.”

Episode 37 – The Berenstain Bears and the Dinosaurs!

DIBC-EP37 — Better get used to those faces, kid.

DINOSAURS! Who doesn’t love dinosaurs?! Well, parents, apparently? Joining me to discuss dinosaurs and the love thereof are Trish and Talcott, two artists and dinosaur lovers. We talk dinos, inaccurate dinos, weird dinos and “Baby, Secret of the Lost Legend.” It’s a doozy, folks!

In which I try to figure out what a quilt is, Mama Bear makes what may be an unwise career choice, and everyone goes to bed unsatisfied.

Episode 32 – Four Mini Storybooks!

DIBC-EP32

WHAT is my problem?! Four books?! There’s no way this is going to be anything less than unwieldy, right? Wellllllllllllllll, you may be right.

Still, these are fun little books and, though it may not be readily apparent, very important books in the development of the Berenstain’s creative empire. It has to do with some observations I had about the art style and a query I posted to . . . well, I’ll direct you to my other blog post and you can read the whole thing!

You know the drill: Facebook, Twitter, iTunes. M’WAH!

Episode 31 – Welcome Back! & The Berenstain Bears and the Trouble With Money

The look of pure evil.

Welcome back! Or, since I’m the one who’s been gone, I guess you should be saying that. So. Welcome back, me!

This week, we take a look at where we have been. We also take a look at The Berenstain Bears’ Trouble with Money. I feel like it would be better served with the title “and The Trouble With Money” but, whatever.

Episode 30 – The Berenstain Bears and the Truth

This episode, Mitzi and I explore the ethics of telling the truth. Also, the reasons we lie and the benefits of living a truthful life. Or, something. I don’t know. I haven’t listened to the show yet.

Episode 27 – The Berenstain Bears Go To Camp

Actually, only the cubs go to camp, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves. This week, I talk with an old college friend, Chris Nail, who knows a LOT about camp. What are those mysterious rules Brother is so interested in? Where are the other camp counselors? Also, Native American iconography and its prevalence in the history of American Summer Camps!

Episode 26 – The Berenstain Bears Get In A Fight

Episode 25 – The Berenstain Bears In The Dark

Happy Halloween, BOILS and GHOULS! Welcome to the Halloween episode of the Berenstain SCARES! Let’s go down a scummy . . . dirt . . . toad(?), creep in . . . scare country? I lost it.

Anyway, it’s not a Halloween book, but it *is* all about FEAR! And, as such, I’ve decided to tackle the subject my own self. Me. All by my lonesome. Let’s see how it turns out!

Good. It turns out good.

Episode 24 – The Berenstain Bears Visit the Dentist

What does a real dentist think of Sister Bear’s first trip to the dentist? Not much! Turns out, Dr. Bearson’s practice leaves a LOT to be desired! Join me and a real live dentist as we discuss this questionable excursion into dentistry.

If you want a better book to help prepare your kids for the dentist, the University of Maryland has a pretty good list.
