Tough emotions don’t have to be obstacles that stop us in our tracks. They can be harnessed to build connections, bring us together, and show us what we have in common"

LISTENER TESTIMONIALS
"The kids love listening, and it's that great unicorn of children's entertainment that is actually pretty entertaining for adults too."
Ellie R. - CommonSense Media
"This show has been a GODSEND! It's a fun way to get kids talking about their feelings, but also it helps me talk with them about difficult topics. Their episode on grieving helped so much with the loss of a pet we had last year. I love the topics about race and equality, and it's also a really fun show for adults to listen to"
M.J. Guthrie - CommonSense Media
​
"Not only does this show help with my kids growing their emotional intelligence, they love listening to it. It has been my 7 and 10 year olds most requested podcast lately. And I stay entertained as well. We regularly use your catch phrases. Thank you!"

"An amazing show! My kids are sooo engaged with all the various characters. A great way to build the emotional intelligence of your kids (and your own!) at home. Love, love, love!"
R. Kamb - CommonSense Media
​
"Marvelous, musical, fun, smart, helpful, and beautiful show. We enjoy the characters and songs and music and Scotty SO MUCH! My 7yo talks back to the show, laughs, sings, along, and dances to the hits. This show does so much for Social Emotional Learning while crafting truly fun and engaging stories. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"
MomSlice - Apple Podcasts
​
"Really excellent actors, the full sound effects, endearing characters and truly funny writing set this podcast apart. The lessons are clear but never preachy, and they don't talk over the kids' heads or talk down to them, either"
T. Bee - CommonSense Media
​
"The Imagine Neighborhood is a blessing - makes me think, guffaw, and sometimes cry"
Jonah R. - CommonSense Media
​
"Best kid’s podcast ever! My daughter (7) says this should actually be a 900 star review, because the show is just that good. Having listened to each episode approximately 73 times, I have to say that I quite enjoy this podcast as well and would recommend it to other grownups to listen with their kids"
Tinian C. - Apple Podcasts
