  • 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.

  • This is a very special bonus episode of The Adventures of Power Dog in Dogland that we decided to make during Summer break because we got to learn more about some superpower dogs right here on planet Earth this summer. Our deaf-blind cousin Lindy came to visit us and attended a summer camp created by Guide Dogs for the Blind. When we reached out to the organization, they were happy to teach us more through emails, conversations, and even a tour of the Guide Dogs for the Blind campus in Oregon.In this episode, you are going to hear our talks with cousin Lindy before camp, Outreach Specialist Jane Flower, and then Lindy again, after camp. Not only did we learn about Camp GDB, but we also learned about the very 🐾pawesome🐾 K9 Buddy Program. Thank you to Lindy and Jane!For more information on Guide Dogs for the Blind’s FREE programs for youth who are blind or visually impaired, visit guidedogs.com.Special thanks to our creative partner Jason Roark who records, edits, and designs this show.

  • Questions are answered and friends are reunited in this fun, silly, and loving conclusion to our second, epic season. If you're a fan of Dogland's President Bernie Sandals and Earth's Dr. Brené Brown, then you are going to absolutely love a special talk in this episode. We are so proud of our kid author Hank for working on this episode to share how wholehearted people connect with the concept of power. And, if you listen closely, you'll also hear a little more music from Grieg, who remains a favorite composer for the Power Dog Pack.

  • 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.

  • 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/

  • Hank's Granny, aka Jeanie Murphy, recorded three fun old-time turkey songs with her banjo for us, and we thought they were too great to keep to ourselves--especially in a season of giving! Hank had a lot of fun singing this particular Turkey Lurkey song with his fantastic music teacher at school, so he rang his Granny when he got home and they sang it together. We feel so fortunate to have a musical Granny, and Hank has been musical since before he was born. The two of them have been noodling on songs together since he was knee-high to a penny whistle!

    "Turkey in the Straw" is an American folk song that first gained popularity in the early 19th century. 

    "Turkey Lurkey Run So Fast" is a classroom rhyme that Hank has really enjoyed. 

    "A Turkey Ran Away" is a traditional Appalachian song.

  • 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.

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!

  • 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!

  • We are so pleased to share this next leg of Power Dog’s adventure- a crossover tale with Mary Farfisa’s Outer Space Radio Theater.

    Other voices from Mary Farfisa's Outer Space Radio Theater you will hear in this episode are Cara Alboucq as Mary Farfisa and Leslie Baker as WhichWay.

    We end this episode with a special message from Mme. Kate the Aware Wolf of Time Yin, with immense gratitude to the wisdom, inspiration, and lessons from Viktor Frankl, Krista Tippet, Pema Chödrön, and Tara Brach.

    From Viktor Frankl: “Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”

    Special thanks to Jason Roark, our creative partner and ultimate Renaissance Bunny Supreme! He 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.
