Kids Radio!
« on: September 18, 2009, 03:48:39 PM »
Our two-year-old (almost three-year-old) now gets really excited by The Best Show every week. She loves the theme song--the Themeweavers version only, though; whenever Tom plays an alternate theme after the intro, she gets mad ("that's not best show!"). She dances to the theme, and usually to a good chunk of the tunes Tom spins.

This past week, for some reason, my wife taught her to say "Hello, host!" a la Wurster's impersonation of Gene Simmons. I have no idea how or why, but it is adorable/terrifying.

This is all an intro to ask, any other FOTs with kids manage to turn their spawn into FOTs, either willfully or through osmosis?

Maybe I can get her to do it for my dinky camera phone. Keep in mind that it's a good imitation for a 2-year-old...

I mostly listen to the podcast and the familiy are not fans yet but I've got my 4-year-old saying "wait, whhhuuuuutttt?" Also, after about a year of me asking him if he has his helmet on, and then asking him if he's strapped in, when we get ready to go do something, it's become shorthand for him say "I've got my helmet on" when he wants to go somewhere with me.

Also, a plug for FOT Neil Numberman's book if you have kids.  They get into it.

I got into through the show by listening to the S&W cd's.  When I first started listiening to them, it was mostly in the car and my (then) 5 or 6 year old (he's 7 now) got to hear all those calls through osmosis and he really dug them.  He especially likes PBR.  He called in to the show a couple months ago.  Ted Leo was there.  My son wasn't sure whether or not he was going to get cotton candy.


Excuse his unkempt appearance, this was shortly after he had woken up.

This is adorable.  I teach classes for ages 4-16 and I may have to adapt this for the classroom.
