Hey there, I'm still whipping up covers for the «Goosegoose» podcasts — that's the kids' audio app from Arzamas project. This time around, it's all about spooky operas, the chemistry behind iconic children's toys, ancient Greek myths about constellations e.t.c.
«Hidden City» is a podcast about architecture, but with examples from the worlds of wizards, elves, dwarves, and superheroes. Here's Hogwarts' romanticism, Bespin's futurism, the expressionism of the Burrow, the streamline design of the Senate's headquarters apartment, and the Eye Tower.
⟡
«Flip the Penguin» is a series of interviews with people in amazing professions, the interviewers are kids themselves, making it really funny.
⟡
«The Tale of Tsar Saltan» is a super captivating story about mischievous princess sisters, a boy raised in a floating barrel who can turn into a mosquito, and so much more! Narrated by Liya Akhedzhakova.
⟡
«The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish» is another great fairy tale by Pushkin, voiced by Liya Akhedzhakova, about a rather toxic old woman with unreasonable demands and her submissive old man.
⟡
«Operas and Ghosts» is a podcast about spooky opera characters. Here's the severed head in a bowl from Salome (Strauss), Mr. Bluebeard (Bartok), Mr. Nose (Shostakovich), and the insane servant from The Turn of the Screw (Britten).
⟡
While listening to the story "Goodbye, Ravine," I cried. The strong and touching characters— a gang of stray dogs and their little friend, a cat— try to save their ravine, a place that has become their home.
⟡
«PhD in Toy Science» is a podcast about chemistry, plastic for slime and putty, glass for Christmas ornaments, drinking bird toys, glitter, 'sewn polymers', and other fun stuff.
⟡
Ancient Greek Myths About Constellations, Told by Sleepy Goose.
The legend of the brothers Castor and Pollux (the Gemini constellation) is my favorite.
