A number of weeks ago I sat down with the children's book author, John Lennon Song Writing Contest winner, Rutgers University Graduate, good friend and the man who produced most of the music for this podcast, Dan Flannery. Dan is a long time friend who I finally got a chance to talk to about childrens literature and music. You can hear a sample of one of Dan's songs at the end of the show. For more music and information about Dan and his production company Flannery Brothers go to Flannery Brothers.com.

For the last few episodes we have been discussing YouTube in theory, almost at a distance. I have even read some comments on blogs like 7 Inch Cinema saying that I'm being a little abstract. To fix this, today we are going to be looking at some YouTube videos for kids. I will admit that YouTube was definitely not designed for kids and teachers. I know that YouTube filters content, but often I find that I'm too young for the videos. Despite all that, today we're going to get a little deeper and we're going to be looking at a few specific videos. In this episode we go over some recommended videos. Before we get into that I continue the Better Know A Listener series with an interview with Aaron "The Art Guy" Smith. Aaron is the edu-blogger/podcaster behind on of my favorite sights, The Academic Aesthetic.com. If you are interested in technology education and/or art education you can find interesting information and web tools from Aaron. Though this is the end of our current series about YouTube, we will continue to compile a list of recommended videos. If you have a favorite YouTube video for kids and teens, leave a link to the video and your site so that I can give you credit.
