Here's a Podcast by California third-grader Sam and his dad, Steve, about books, fun places for families to go, movies and creativity.
An Eventful Year
Posted: November 2011As promised, we've recorded yet ANOTHER show this year. Will this mean a return to the weekly schedule we had when Sam was 7 years old? Will Sarah make more appearances? Will Sophie show up on the mic as much as old Annie did? Time will tell. In this show, Sam talks about what it's like in high school, some Podcasts he's listening to and more. Note to parents: This show includes a discussion of Sam's hospital visit. He's fine and we don't talk about the seriousness of the issue, but be aware that we do talk about it. Also, there's another blooper clip at the end. People seemed to like it last time.

Posted: January 2011Well, it's 2011 and ... wait! It's 2011?? And we did our last show in April of 2009. Hm, this isn't much of a weekly show, is it? We're joined by another S on The SG Show this episode. And, we made a New Year's resolution. We will do more shows! Thanks to everyone who wrote to us, letting us know we still have friends out there around the world who look forward to The SG Show.

Posted: April 2009Looking at the Podcast rig collecting dust in the upstairs closet, Sam commented that it's been a looooong time since we've visited with our Podcast friends. So we cleared some time on the spring calendar this past Saturday, and fired up the microphones again. On this episode of The SG Show, we talk about what Sam's been up to over the past year, including a discussion of Sam's favorite time of year -- summer vacation.
