The Best Internet Radio for Kids

If you’re like me, you’d like to listen to radio when the kids are in the house that’s somewhere between the cotton candy of Radio Disney and the occasional F-Bomb on The Current (or your favorite alt music station). Minnesota Public Radio fills in that gap with an excellent station called Wonderground Radio. He had it on last night and heard everything from the Jayhawks, to bluegrass, to DeVotchka, to Coldplay, to “Conjunction Junction, What’s Your Function?”

Seriously, check it out.

And if you’re more of a folky, try MPR’s Radio Heartland.

ABC Interview

Yes, that ABC: The Australian Broadcasting Network. I was interviewed for their religious issues show, Sunday Nights, by Noel Debien. He was fantastic — thoughtful, knowledgable, curious. Everything you want in a long-form interview. Afterwards, he told me that I was “passionate” and “discursive.” Looking back, I probably could have been less discursive! But, oh well, I’ve always appreciated tangents.
