OWTK Podcast May 2016 Kindiecomm Audio Unboxing Special

Because I received a massive package of albums from the bands and artists who’d attended this year’s Kindiecomm music conference in Philadelphia, I decided to do a special episode of free kids music dedicated only to the bands who made the trek into Philly to learn about the business of […]

Porto’s And The Chocolate Croissant

Not that croissant, when said properly (not as though it’s nothing more than a gummy vessel by which a shitty Burger King sandwich enters the mouth), isn’t already a fab word and not that it’s not already French, but chocolate croissant sounds better in French because in French it’s called […]

Unexpected Changes of Plan B

Why We Opt Out of State Standardized Testing

I didn’t know enough in time to opt out last year. I know more now and so the girls are not taking the state’s standardized tests this school year — happening right now — because we’re taking a stand against test making & test grading corporations getting boatloads of cash […]

OWTK Philly Local: The Fairly Stupid And Totally Fantastic Stinky Cheese Man at The Arden

As is customary once the curtain closes on most all children’s stage productions, the cast and crew of the Arden’s Stinky Cheese Man (their latest gem in the crown of Philadelphia’s family theater scene) made themselves available for questions from wide-eyed kiddos who maybe had just gotten their first ever […]
