The spring rush of new music is in full sway. Yes, there is music besides that in the movie Frozen.
New albums, old Kickstarters, cool videos, and MAN, do kidlit authors sell a lot of books.
Laurie Berkner's new album, Helen Austin's new JUNO, Billboard's new charts, and everyone's new streaming video service

Children pick good books, but not sure if Keith Richards' is among them. Phineas & Ferb creator goes bovine. I go Icelandic.
Asking questions of kindie parents and kindie musicians, and everyone loves "Let It Go"
Watch Disney and Sprout anywhere, kids' Kickstarters gear up, and Tweens Love (The) Rock. Also: The Okee Dokee Brothers and Molly Ledford!
Old friends get new life on stage and on screen, and a bunch of new albums, singles, and videos to get excited about.
A bunch of albums released this week, to be released later this year, plus awards for earlier-released albums. Also Kidz Bop is bopular.
It's awards seasons. Awards awarded, to be awarded, and streamed. Also, I say "Kidz Bop" a lot.
A couple kindie musicians take steps toward TV dominance, I take a small step toward children's museum dominance, and Kidz Bop and Disney take large steps toward dominance.
Catching up on Kickstarters, a kindie rocker makes his Sprout debut, and kindie hits the Billboard Top 200
No album news, a lot of Kickstarter news, and year-end countdowns (from both 2013 and 2012) start trickling in.
Grammy (nominations)! Kickstarter (in progress)! Another outlet for kids music videos (in beta)! And lots and lots of albums with numbers in their title.
Not much in the way of new releases; a ton of Kickstarters; a kindie star gets an even bigger stage to play on.
Before or after you eat that turkey or tofurkey, enjoy an interview with Molly Ledford from Lunch Money (previously heard on the My Other Other Gig show)
The pre-Thanksgiving release rush, the even bigger pre-Thanksgiving crowdfunding rush, pre-Thanksgiving awards rush, and plain old chart news
A bunch of albums coming out, a bunch of Kickstarters for albums that will come out, and a bunch of charts featuring music that has already come out. Also, praise for Portland
Not quite as much news, but lots of new albums and new Kickstarters floating around. Also, I suggest what needs to be the next kindie holiday album
So. Much. News. Awards aplenty, videos aplenty, thought-pieces aplenty, and, for Kickstarters, whatever the word is for "aplenty squared"
No time to put together a regular show this week, so 3 uncut interviews from the Bake Sale podcast: Laura Doherty, Ann Torralba (AKA Little Miss Ann), and Laurie Berkner
Kickstarters galore, album releases galore, kindie music in Philadelphia and on the high seas
Big week for album releases, why Justin Roberts doesn't use Spotify, another kindie artist goes for the parental set, and what sounds like the most inappopriate song ever to top iTunes kids music chart. Plus less distressing chart news.
Tons of new albums and Kickstarters being released, a Grammy nomination, I wasn't expecting, and an NPR review I was
New albums, classic kids books, new classic kids books, Kickstarters galore, and Teen Beach Movie, again.
Crowdfunding, Harry Potter, One Life To Live, Heidi Swedberg, and enough frogs for Magnolia
Crowdfunding updates; new and upcoming albums; the highlights from Zooglobble's week; and chart news. And lots of animals
Lots of Dan Zanes and Elizabeth Mitchell references regarding their album Turn Turn Turn Turn Turn Turn Turn Turn... wait minute, that might be too long.
New Kickstarters, new Wiggles, new SXSW panels, new places to watch Ameba. And space unicorns
Shine and the Moonbeams and oddballs hit NPR, plus a couple Kickstarter tidbits, and chart news that mentions both cats and Vicki Lawrence.
News about a kindie-friendly sweepstakes, a new season of Sesame Street, Kickstarter and chart news (of course), and Elizabeth Mitchell fights for us all.
Kickstarter, new album releases, late summer kids music festivals, and Chica needs a co-host. Oh, and chart news, OF COURSE.
Clearly it's been a busy time 'round these parts -- I didn't even get to record a podcast or post these links last week. Just pretend you hear my voice. This week's winner -- Justin Roberts, 'cause Recess is released this week. (The chart-obsessed of you might defer to the Kidz Bop series, but hey, this is Zooglobble.)

I skip the chart news and other kindie news this week (don't worry, it's available on the site if you want it) in lieu of rebroadcasting an interview I did with Tim Sheridan about his Thunder and Lightning kids book for the Bake Sale podcast
Another in my occasional not-enough-time-to-record-an-actual-podcast podcast. Same great information, but without my quick, velvet-y voice. This week's winner -- Zooglobble readers, who'll get to read the interview that I conducted during my normal podcast recording time.
