We’re so happy we can share this special Winter bonus episode with y'all! It’s a little different, and we threw it together rather quickly after the story just poured out of Hank one morning on the way to school. Special thanks to Jason Roark (http://www.jasonroark.com/) who records, edits, and designs this show. He also provides original music including our theme song, which is sung by him and the wonderful, talented Jen Bernard. Jason was not able to edit this episode, but he set Phoebe & Hank up for success and a fun learning opportunity, which they enjoyed wholeheartedly. They had a blast using the free and fantastic resources at freeSFX dot com (https://freesfx.co.uk/Default.aspx). We sourced nearly 30 fun sounds from their site! Colin Laurel (http://www.colinlaurel.com/) illustrated our cover art, which was directed by Jen Wick (https://www.fortwick.com/). Our song that plays at the very end of this episode is a song we wrote along with Hank’s Granny & Gramps, aka Murphy & Marckx . It's called “Power Dog, He Won’t Give Up!” If you catch a moment, and can follow, rate, and/or review the show, we would be so grateful! It really helps get the word out for our small, indie, mom & pop & pup, family operation.

Howloween!

🎃 🦝 Spooktacular side-quest special! 🦝 🎃

Please enjoy this replay of one of our all-time favorite episodes while we continue to work our waggly tails off making new episodes. It’s worth a listen or a re-listen for hints at characters and events to come during future Season Tree 🌲 episodes!

This story can be listened to without having listened to our serial episodes in any of our seasons by lovers of Halloween, fall, animated vegetables, pranks, and cuties.

We wrote the Halloween song that plays at the end of our episodes along with Hank’s Granny,  aka Jean Murphy! The song is called “Howl-o-ween!”

Special thanks to our creative partner Jason Roark who records, edits, and designs this show. He also provides original music including our opening theme song, which is sung & performed by him and the wonderful, talented Jen Bernard. This episode featured a bit of Jason's Howl-o-ween version of a family favorite song, In the Hall of Mountain King by Grieg, who hated the song and wrote it to be a parody of the music of the time that he disliked. We love all of Peer Gynt and encourage you to check it out!

This episode's cover art is by Mom Slice and features our original Power Dog illustration by Matthew Hayes.

Halloween Jokes Bonus! 🎃 🐶 👻

Sat, 28 Oct 2023 17:55:07 GMT

Who's ready to get this party startled?! 

We love Halloween and jokes so much that we decided to throw together this bonus episode of just super fun Howl-o-ween dog jokes and some of our favorite regular Halloween jokes for spooky season.

And, if you haven't yet, be sure to check out our super sweet "Howl-o-ween" special! It’s a fun, exciting, and magical tale of tails- about a pair of young raccoon-type twin dogs living on Dogland. This story can be listened to without having listened to our serial episodes in Seasons 1 & 2. Although the story has some mild suspense and Halloween-adjacent fun, it is mostly fun and silly and meant to delight young listeners (age 4+) and old. It will lift your spirits and give 'em pumpkin to talk about!

Special thanks to our creative partner⁠ Jason Roark⁠ who records, edits, and designs this show. This episode featured a bit of Jason's Howl-o-ween version of a family favorite song, In the Hall of Mountain King by Grieg, who hated the song and wrote it to be a parody of the music of the time that he disliked. We love all of Peer Gynt and encourage you to check it out! Stick around to the very end of this jokes episode to hear a public domain symphony arrangement courtesy of Orange Free Sounds- a great resource for free audio.

Valentine's Day & Dogland Love Day Bonus 💓

Sun, 12 Feb 2023 13:00:00 GMT

We are taking a break from our regular, ongoing story while we celebrate Valentine’s Day here on Planet Earth and Love Day on Dogland. We revisit the speech Dogland President Bernie Sandals gave about loving their world. Wouldn’t it be lovely if we all made Valentine’s Day about loving this world we live in? We also talk about how it isn’t exactly accurate to say that dogs are colorblind, and we share a bunch of silly jokes!

Special thanks to Jason Roark who records, edits, and designs this show. He also provides original music including our theme song, which is sung by him, and our background music. Jason was not able to edit this episode, but he set Phoebe & Hank up for success and a fun learning opportunity, which they enjoyed wholeheartedly. They had a blast using the free and fantastic resources at freeSFX dot com. We sourced nearly 30 fun sounds from their site!

Jim Cheff, the creator of Mary Farfisa's Outer Space Radio Theater, illustrated Power Dog for our cover art, which was designed for this bonus episode by Phoebe and Hank using Canva. If you like the design and our jokes, check out our free, printable Valentine's Day cards!

We overjoyed to have been given permission to share the song that plays at the very end of this episode–called I-L-O-V-E-Y-O-U by Melanie Dill, from the album Rainbow Lemonade, which was one of the best children’s albums ever created and followed one of the other best children’s albums- Alphabet Parade. Thank you, Melanie Dill! Fun fact, Hank learned to spell the word “love” from singing along to this song, and he still sings it in his head when it’s time to write it down.

Special thanks to Jason Roark who records, edits, and designs this show. He also provides original music including our theme song, which is sung by him and the wonderful, talented Jen Bernard. Jason was not able to edit this episode, but he set Phoebe & Hank up for success and a fun learning opportunity, which they enjoyed wholeheartedly. They had a blast using the free and fantastic resources at freeSFX dot com. We sourced nearly 30 fun sounds from their site!

Colin Laurel illustrated our cover art, which was directed by Jen Wick.

Our song that plays at the very end of this episode is a song we wrote along with Hank’s Granny & Gramps, aka Murphy & Marckx. It's called “Power Dog, He Won’t Give Up!”

If you catch a moment, and can follow, rate, and/or review the show, we would be so grateful! It really helps get the word out for our small, indie, mom & pop & pup, family operation.

Thanksgiving Bonus | Dogsgiving & Native Heritage Month: Grateful for Every Plateful!

Sun, 20 Nov 2022 08:00:00 GMT

We’re taking a little break this week, but we still put together this bonus episode to share fun jokes & ridiculous food puns, and some more fun music from Hank’s Granny, aka Jeanie Murphy.

We also share a bit more about the famous Dogland saying, “We are all connected at our roots, and rooted in our connection.” It feels perfect to talk about connection at this time. We round out the episode with a talk about Native American Heritage Month and share a trailer from one of our favorite shows and a special song from their incredible composer.

Stay past the jokes to hear the trailer for Coin Trick, https://www.cointrick.net/, a narrative series that follows 12-year-old Cassidy and the flute-playing mischief-maker Kokopelli on their adventures through a fantasy world based on Native American mythology. 

We are blown away, honored, and excited to share a song gifted to us by Coin Trick’s composer, Shelley Morningsong, https://shelleymorningsongonline.com/. Shelley has also written a gorgeous children’s book, and it includes a free audio download that we are loving in our house.

This resource from IllumiNative called "How to Center and Be a Good Ally to Indigenous People this Thanksgiving" is an excellent read. https://bit.ly/3FIELv2

We really enjoyed this article from PBS about finding ways to honor the real history of this time in the US: https://www.pbs.org/parents/thrive/thanksgiving-practicing-gratitude-and-honoring-the-real-story

We are really impressed by this coverage in Teen Vogue: Land Acknowledgements: https://www.teenvogue.com/story/indigenous-land-acknowledgement-explained

We create this show in the ancestral lands of the Multnomah, Wasco, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Cowlitz, bands of Chinook, Tualatin Kalapuya, Molalla, and many other Tribes of the first people who made their homes along the rivers here in what is now called “Portland, Oregon.” These groups created communities and summer encampments along the Columbia and Willamette rivers and harvested and used the plentiful natural resources of the area for thousands of years. Today, the Native community of Portland is the 9th largest urban population in the USA.

We’ve made a donation to an organization called the NATIVE AMERICAN YOUTH AND FAMILY CENTER (NAYA) https://nayapdx.org/support-us/

Other wonderful organizations to support are IllumiNative, https://illuminatives.org/about-us/ and The American Indian College Fund, https://collegefund.org/

Hope is the Thing With Feathers!

Sun, 06 Nov 2022 07:00:00 GMT

Please enjoy Hank reading "Hope is the thing with feathers" by Emily Dickinson. 

We're so proud of Hank for making this for the podcast, and we're loving listening to this recording on its own. If you enjoy the poem, then we encourage you to find out more about Emily Dickinson. If you’re working with or are a kid, then we highly recommend this great entry from Britannica Kids. 

Discerning ears may also recognize the return of a bit of music from Edvard Grieg called "Morning Mood" performed by the Czech National Symphony Orchestra as the Musopen Symphony Orchestra. Thank you to Wikipedia and Museopen for globally sharing open-source music so that we could include lovely music in our podcast, family playlists, and classrooms too!

The Halloween Tale of Tails! The Candy Bandits of Dogland (Recast)

Sun, 09 Oct 2022 11:59:11 GMT

Thank you for tuning in to our spooktacular Howloween special! 

It’s a fun, exciting, and magical tale of tails- about a pair of young raccoon-type twin dogs living on Dogland. Although the story has some mild suspense and Halloween-adjacent fun, it is mostly fun and silly and meant to delight young listeners (age 4+) and old. It will lift your spirits and give 'em pumpkin to talk about!

We wrote the song that plays at the end of our episodes along with Hank’s Granny,  aka Jean Murphy! The song is called “Howl-o-ween!” We took story inspiration from A Tale for Halloween by Loretta Ellen Brady from the collection, The Green Forest Fairy Book (1920.)

Special thanks to our creative partner Jason Roark who records, edits, and designs this show. He also provides original music including our opening theme song, which is sung & performed by him and the wonderful, talented Jen Bernard. This episode featured a bit of Jason's Howl-o-ween version of a family favorite song, In the Hall of Mountain King by Grieg, who hated the song and wrote it to be a parody of the music of the time that he disliked. We love all of Peer Gynt and encourage you to check it out!

This episode's cover art is made by Hank using Canva!

If you catch a moment, and can follow, rate, and/or review the show, we would be so grateful! It really helps get the word out for our small, indie, mom & pop & pup, family operation.

Sun, 17 Jul 2022 12:00:43 GMT

Finally! We have found President Bernie Sandals! And, he has got to be the YANGist thing to ever happen to TIME YIN. Where has Bernie been? Who is behind the mysterious voice of Time Yin? And where will these dogs go next? Will there be pizza? Many season-long mysteries are at least partially solved in this illuminating episode. Listen closely, and you may hear what Bernie’s middle name is, and it’s a doozy!

We also meet a new, special character based on one of Hank’s teachers. If you’ve been with us from the beginning, then you know we’ve based a couple of characters on our wonderful teachers, and there will be more to come!

From Dan, "Deep in Antarctica lies the mystical Cat Elysium, a magical paradise for Flibbertygibit's feline subjects. Flip-Flop, the prankster of the royal cat family passes idyllic days there as caretaker. But when trouble comes to the Elysium, will Flip-Flop's joking ways be able to rise to the challenge?"

Bonus | Sea Stories for Wonder Ears & Sleepy Heads

Sun, 01 May 2022 12:00:57 GMT

Thank you for tuning in to a special, bedtime-friendly bonus episode of The Adventures of Power Dog in Dogland about falling in love with the sea! There’s no loud, be-bopping rock anthem or toe-tapping banjo fun in this episode. Instead, you’ll hear Phoebe’s “sleepytime” voice, soothing ocean waves, and gentle music. We even end the episode with a solid five minutes of ocean waves gently splashing on soft, silky sand.

And, as many listeners have requested, this is a story about Taffy, Power Dog’s first cousin, and Tuffy’s twin sister. We have sometimes referred to her as the bravest dog in all of Dogland, but a quality she has that we really admire is her curiosity. For this young pup who sat by the sea and who wondered — and for other puppies who wonder — What sea stories are yet to be told?

We explain what “zoomies” are, how water travels through the world to become part of the ocean, what is left when you dry out ocean water, and what salt and lime crystals look like under a microscope.

This story is based on the first part of a short and lovely book in the public domain called Sea Stories for Wonder Eyes by Mary Earle Hardy. You can hear the book read to you for free at Librivox.com- an incredible online catalog of free, public domain audiobooks read by volunteers from around the world. A note to grownups: because most of the books, short stories, and poems featured in Librivox are from around a century ago, some content may not feel suitable for your families to listen to and might be worth a preview before sharing with your younger people. Feel free to reach out via our many social channels or email if you want to discuss this further.

Special thanks to Anders Lund for helping us record this episode. And, thanks as well to the über-talented artists at Orange Free Sounds, who provide a robust library of music and sound effects for others to use. This episode was edited using the phenomenally easy & intuitive Descript App, which we wholeheartedly recommend. (Affiliate link benefits our show.)

If you catch a moment, and can follow, rate, and/or review the show, we would be so grateful! It really helps get the word out for our small, indie, mom & pop & pup, family operation.

S2E15 | The Dogstrologer's Song

Sat, 16 Apr 2022 00:04:26 GMT

“What problems, what forces

Against us shall bide

While the stars in their courses

Do fight on our side?”

Adapted from Rudyard Kipling’s The Astrologer’s Song, this episode uses epic poetry to visit a dream state before Power Dog goes on to the next leg of his journey in our unfolding epic tale of tails for season two. 

We strongly believe in the power of poetry! If you’d like to read more about why it is so important for students, then we highly recommend reading this article from Edutopia: https://www.edutopia.org/blog/five-reasons-poetry-needed-schools-elena-aguilar. Art is the crucial language of emotion, and poetry refines our language. Poetry is music, and poetry is therapy. Poetry is joy, and poetry can be a righteous rage. It can teach social-emotional learning and help us find better ways to understand ourselves and others.

If you love this episode, and it leaves you hungry for more great poetry for kids, we highly recommend checking out our friends and fellow Kids Listen member shows Buttons & Figs, Kids Poetry Club, and Mary Farfisa’s Outer Space Radio Theater- a musical story podcast with wonderful poetry and poetic language stitched into the music and dialog.

What is FADPAK?! We are so glad you asked. FADPAK AKA Fairies and Dragons, Ponies and Knights is an episodic story for humans of all ages! Each episode is first broadcast live to a virtual audience on Zoom and followed by the release of the episode as a podcast.

When Hank & Phoebe decided they wanted to make their own podcast, it was because they were already big fans of high-quality audio for kids, families, insomniacs, and story-lovers. They knew that they wanted to join the organization Kids Listen because they found so many great shows using their free app. And, when they joined, they discovered a feast for their ears! 

We were hooked from the first word, and from the first musical notes, on FADPAK, and we think you will be too. We hope you enjoy this bonus episode, which is equal parts glowing, excited review and their trailers for the show and their forthcoming Season 2!

S2E8 | Can You Really Trust a Cloud Dragon?

Fri, 28 Jan 2022 13:00:00 GMT

The adventure continues for the power pals on Dogland in this thrilling 8th episode of Season 2. The dogs are off again, but not before we examine the role of the fight, flight, or freeze response and how it is a natural part of your amazing brain, more specifically, the amygdala. Studies have shown that just learning about this can help kids manage anxiety and regulate themselves after surprises, stress, and fright. We love Anxiety Canada’s approach here, too: ​​https://www.anxietycanada.com/articles/fight-flight-freeze-anxiety-explained-for-kids/

If you and your family are seeking more podcast-based resources for building mindfulness toolkits, then we also HIGHLY recommend these three fellow Kids Listen member podcasts. Although designed for kids, we are finding them to be wonderful for multiple generations in our home.

The adventure continues for Power Dog and his friends on Dogland in this exciting sixth episode of Season 2.

Our conversation was a response to Hank’s growing awareness of ecosystems and climate change. Thank you to his wonderful 2nd-grade teacher, Mme.

S2E5 | Rewind to Bernie Sandals’ Super Circle Summit & The Deep Talk

Fri, 07 Jan 2022 13:00:00 GMT

We are so excited to be sharing this special episode with you, based on conversations we’ve had as we try to understand what it feels like to process, feel, define, and heal from trauma, what it means to find balance when you might be afraid of failure, and the strength we gain from family and community–making any adventures pawsible.

As many parents and carers of kids know, the daily practice of guiding young people through life ranges from challenging to silly, and back again, and it can take us to deep places on a dime. This episode goes deep. We talk about how trauma can pass from body to body, how interconnected we are, and why it’s a gift in life to experience failure. We use tools like deep belly breathing, rhyming jokes, EMDR to unpack distressing memories, affirmations of love, speaking our stories, and asking for help to lean into strength. And, we also share more about Mom Slice’s past as a champion swordfighter!

Also, one of the sweetest things Hank has ever shared about Dogland is information about the planet’s “Great Great Tree” and the slogan, “We are all connected at our roots and rooted in our connection.”

Some further resources for grown people are:

On trauma and somatic healing: My Grandmother’s Hands by Resmaa Menakem

On everything from failure to shame to healing to living a wholehearted life, Brené Brown.

And, for people of all ages, we recommend listening to fellow Kids Listen member show, Best Day Yet Podcast, a show serving affirmations, adventures, and mindfulness tools for calmer, kinder, more confident kids.

Special thanks to Jason Roark who records, edits, and designs this show. He also provides original music including our theme song, which is sung by him and the wonderful, talented Jen Bernard. Jason was not able to edit this episode, but he set Phoebe & Hank up for success and a fun learning opportunity, which they enjoyed wholeheartedly. They had a blast using the free and fantastic resources at freeSFX dot com and Orange Free Sounds.

Thu, 30 Dec 2021 06:50:24 GMT

We are continuing our winter break, having a blast playing video games, reading books, and listening to other great podcasts for kids! One podcast we've been really enjoying is The Semi-adventures of Sheila from the same zany brains who've given us the nonsense magic of Buttons & Figs! Have a listen, and see for yourself how great comedy and nonsense go together in this silly story. We find Sheila highly relatable, and infectiously quotable, and we think you will too!

Meet Sheila, a 9-year-old restless rockhound, who gets in trouble...a lot. While grounded she discovers her rock collection has the power to transport her through space, time and reason! Join her as she embarks on a quest through the Islands of the Longago Sea, searching for the leftovers she needs to get back home.

Coming Semi-soon, the Semi-Adventures of Sheila

S2E1 | In the Hall of the Dancing Dogs

Wed, 10 Nov 2021 14:00:00 GMT

Awwwoooooooooo! 🚀 🐶 Our new adventure kicks off with this exciting episode! 

We are so excited to launch this new season's story this week! Season 2 is as adventurous and exciting as the last, but it's also got some great lessons about friendship, healing from trauma, why it's important to take risks, and how community and family are what makes risk-taking possible. We're also very proud of some great in-show and after-show jokes—one of which made Hank laugh harder than he ever has in his life! His parents had to check on him as he almost passed out from laughing!

We're putting our whole doggy hearts out here for this one, and we're thrilled you'll come along for the ride!

So come with us to Dogland, we've got special tales to tell! And when we come together all our tales will wag as well!

If you're new to our story, please go find episode 1, called "S1E1 | START HERE! | Power Dog Goes To College" as this is a serial story adventure that unfolds throughout each season. This story has been created by a mom+pop+pup team that started as bedtime stories with a toddler and grew and grew and grew! Over time, a whole, wonderful world emerged, and it was filled with good-natured (of course) dogs who believe in community, staying curious, and overcoming obstacles with mindfulness techniques and open hearts. At the center of this lovely pack is Power Dog, who is so named because he has so many powers that he doesn't even know what he is capable of yet.

Special thanks to our creative partner Jason Roark who records, edits, and designs this show. He also provides original music including our opening theme song, which is sung & performed by him and the wonderful, talented Jen Bernard.

Our song that plays at the end of this episode is a song we wrote along with Hank’s Granny & Gramps, aka Murphy & Marckx. It's called “Power Dog, He Won’t Give Up!”

Colin Laurel illustrated our cover art, which was directed by Jen Wick.

Halloween Jokes Bonus! 🎃 🐶 👻

Fri, 29 Oct 2021 17:56:24 GMT

Who's ready to get this party startled?! 

We love Halloween and jokes so much that we decided to throw together one more little bonus episode of just super fun Howl-o-ween dog jokes and some of our favorite regular Halloween jokes for the season! After the past couple of years, we all feel like celebrating just a little more than ever before, right?! 

And, if you haven't yet, be sure to check out our super sweet "Howl-o-ween" special! It’s a fun, exciting, and magical tale of tails- about a pair of young raccoon-type twin dogs living on Dogland. This story can be listened to without having listened to our serial episodes in Seasons 1&2, but it is also how we are choosing to kick off Season 2. Although the story has some mild suspense and Halloween-adjacent fun, it is mostly fun and silly and meant to delight young listeners (age 4+) and old. It will lift your spirits and give 'em pumpkin to talk about!

Special thanks to our creative partner Jason Roark who records, edits, and designs this show. This episode featured a bit of Jason's Howl-o-ween version of a family favorite song, In the Hall of Mountain King by Grieg, who hated the song and wrote it to be a parody of the music of the time that he disliked. We love all of Peer Gynt and encourage you to check it out! Stick around to the very end of this jokes episode to hear a public domain symphony arrangement courtesy of Orange Free Sounds- a great resource for free audio.

This episode's cover art is by Mom Slice.

We are so pleased to share this first episode from this incredible, utterly beautiful, fun radio play story series, Mary Farfisa's Outer Space Radio Theater.

Mary Farfisa is an eight-year-old space-girl who travels the Galaxies on her space-horse, Briscoe. She goes from planet to planet, searching for “songs and sounds and music and noise” to share with the rest of the Universe. Mary catches the songs and sounds and music and noise in her “audio lasso.” Then she brings them to the Listener’s Library — an intergalactic collection of sounds, curated by music-loving super-beings called the “Listeners.” Over the season, you get to know quite a few endearing, exciting, and clever characters. Parents will appreciate the beautiful music, high audio quality, and refreshing dash of humor in the characters and dialogue.

Episode 1: THE SOUND STEALER - Mary Farfisa and her space-horse Briscoe visit Bazorbabill, where all of the sounds things make are mysteriously disappearing. A children's radio series written and produced by Jim Cheff.

Bonus | Merlin Tuttle, Hidden Hero of History! From the Dorktales Storytime Podcast

Sun, 29 Aug 2021 12:00:00 GMT

We are so pleased to share this episode of one of our favorite shows for kids, a fellow Kids & Families pick for Apple podcasts, Dorktales Storytime Podcast!

Hosted by Jonathan Cormur, this podcast is a fellow member show in the wonderful organization we belong to dedicated to high-quality audio for families called Kids Listen. It is also one of Hank's favorite shows. He loves listening to Jonathan & Mr. Redge discuss stories and historical figures, and he often has questions for both of them. The show creators love getting questions from kids, so if you and your family have any, be sure to reach out to them at this link!

We asked the fine folks of Dorktales Storytime if we could share this episode about Merlin Tuttle because it is one of our favorites and because bats play a key role in keeping our planetary ecosystem in balance. We love bats so much that we also collaborated with Jodi from Dorktales Storytime to compile a list of great show episodes about bats for Bat Appreciation Day that you can read here.

HIDDEN HEROES OF HISTORY | MERLIN TUTTLE

written by Molly Murphy and performed by Jonathan Cormur

A story of bat caves, field notes, and righting a wrong reputation! Merlin Tuttle has spent his career studying bats and proving why they are an incredibly vital part of the ecosystem. His research, books, lectures, and National Geographic style photography have led to the knowledge that bats are not spooky but spectacular! Meet the hero who showed the world that some of the smallest creatures are making the biggest contributions—the real “batman” and champion protector of nature’s delightful, dark-winged, do-gooders.

Sun, 22 Aug 2021 16:00:00 GMT

We are so pleased to share this mini-episode from one of our favorite shows for kids and adventure lovers of all ages, Stories For Wonderful Children! Hosted by Dan Wendelin, this podcast is a fellow member show in the wonderful organization we belong to dedicated to high-quality audio for families called Kids Listen.

Hank would like to especially recommend that you listen to all of Dan's stories, and especially the short series featuring the Cats of the Elysium! From Dan, "Deep in Antarctica lies the mystical Cat Elysium, a magical paradise for Flibbertygibit's feline subjects. Flip-Flop, the prankster of the royal cat family passes idyllic days there as caretaker. But when trouble comes to the Elysium, will Flip-Flop's joking ways be able to rise to the challenge?"

The best place to start is with Stories For Wonderful Children Episode 37: Where's Flibbertygibit:  Winella takes the Cat's Paw Highway to visit Flibbertygibit. At first, the palace seems normal, but she soon discovers a stranger on the throne! Where is Flibbertygibit?
Warning: this story contains silly dad jokes and uncontrolled giggling.

And, at the very end of the episode, you will hear our Old Time theme song called "Power Dog, He Won't Give Up!" It was an intergenerational writing collaboration between Hank, his mother, and his banjo- and fiddle-playing grandparents!

If you're new to our story, please go find episode 1, called "S1E1 | START HERE! | Power Dog Goes To College" as this is a serial story adventure that unfolds throughout each season.

Our amazing song that plays at the end of this episode is Owl Creek Set- Owl Creek/Huckleberry Reel/Miss Lyall's Reel by The Sempre Sisters.  Violinist Charlotte Marckx and cellist Olivia Marckx make up this award-winning, classically trained sister duo that aims to create music not limited by genre. Performing their own compositions and virtuosic arrangements of music from the Beatles to Bach, the sisters aim to play the music that they love for people who love music.

Special thanks to Jason Roark who records, edits, and designs this show. He also provides original music including our theme song, which is sung by him and the wonderful, talented Jen Bernard.

Colin Laurel illustrated our cover art, which was directed by Jen Wick.

Thu, 17 Dec 2020 13:00:00 GMT

We’re so happy we can share this special Winter Howliday episode with y'all! It’s a little different, as it’s not part of our serial, ongoing story. Join the dogs and Tick Tock Bunny as they celebrate their shortest days of the year together. 

This is a great episode to check out as a standalone story if you'd like a quick listen to see what kind of fun we have on Dogland. It also fits in nicely with the ongoing tales of our sweet friends with tails! 

Our amazing song that plays at the end of this episode is  Wally Wants Butter For Christmas by Peanut Butter Jams, from their new holiday album Holiday Bops!
Check out their Instagram feed for super fun videos and live shows, too!

This 6th episode is our official halfway mark in season one's story, and we meet a very important, new character that we think you will love! This episode devotes a little more time to explore the world it is set in and meeting new characters, and it does not feature any particularly scary scenes.

S1E5 | Toots are Funny, No Matter What.

Thu, 03 Dec 2020 10:00:00 GMT

Dear, dear grownups—you may not be able to handle this, our most vulgar, episode of The Adventures of Power Dog in Dogland! It features several bodily function noises, and we completely desecrate The Blue Danube by Strauss II at the end. (Let the clutching of pearls commence!) Hank also discusses the less than finer points of swallowing a lost tooth. Prudes- you have been warned!

Your kids, however, are going to love it!

This episode contains a suspenseful and exciting moment that may be scary for some kids. Grownups can assure them that everyone will be OK.

Special thanks 2x to Jason Roark who records, edits, and designs this show. He also provides original music including our theme song, which is sung by him and the wonderful, talented Jen Bernard. For this episode, Jason also obliged our request to have a song featuring barking, tooting dogs.

S1E3 | Where Are We?

Thu, 12 Nov 2020 09:00:00 GMT

In this third episode of The Adventures of Power Dog in Dogland, we check in with Taffy and Tick Tock Bunny. We also find out that Power Dog and Tuffy are about to do something that very few young pups have ever done on Dogland before!

This episode contains a suspenseful moment that may be scary for some kids. Grownups can assure them that everyone will be OK.

Special thanks to our inimitable Jason Roark who records, edits, and designs this show. He also provides original music including our theme song, which is sung by him and the wonderful, talented Jen Bernard.

Our special musical guest is very special this week! The song you will hear as we roll out the end of the episode was a multi-generational musical collaboration between Hank, Phoebe, Jeanie Murphy, and Scott Marckx (AKA Hank's Granny and Gramps!) Everybody went back into quarantine so that we could have a safe in-person visit, and together we wrote and recorded this song. It was performed live in a room full of books and art while Hank tapped his toes from a bookcase bunk bed above his singing and playing grandparents. Phoebe hollered, howled, and hit record to capture the song, which was later mastered by our Planet Earth Renaissance bunny- Jason Roark. It's called "Power Dog! He Won't Give Up!"
