A fantasy, fiction podcast! Travel with two young princes as they try to save a kingdom!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
SEASON 1: When Prince Rupert sets out to break the mysterious curse that's destroying his kingdom, he's ready to face whatever dastardly villain or vile monster stands in his way. What he isn't prepared for are the bewildering new emotions he feels when he meets the handsome Amir, a rival prince on a quest to save his own realm. Forced to team up, the two princes soon discover that the only thing more difficult than saving their kingdoms is following their hearts.

SEASON 2: Princes Rupert and Amir can't wait to settle down into happily ever after. But on the eve of their wedding, a powerful sorceress named Malkia invades their kingdom. Driven from their castle, the princes set off on a quest to collect an assortment of magical items that will give them the power to defeat Malkia and save their realm.

SEASON 3: Rupert and Amir are finally getting married and this time nothing is going to stop them. Not the handsome new prince who's rolled into town and only has eyes for Rupert. Not the mysterious disappearance of half the kingdom's population. Not even the End of the World. Yes, this time the princes are definitely, absolutely, 100% getting married - even if it's the last thing they do.

The Two Princes stars Noah Galvin, Ari'el Stachel, Alfredo Narciso, Mandi Masden, Samira Wiley, Wesley Taylor, Gideon Glick, CJ Wilson, Michelle Gomez, and Jonah Fields. The Two Princes was written by Kevin Christopher Snipes and directed by Mimi O'Donnell.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Move over, YouTube, there's a new game in town, and guess what? It's totally screen-free. That's right: Podcasts are growing in popularity with families -- and for good reason. They give you an engaging way to connect with kids, no screen required. But once kids have outgrown gentle story-time podcasts, it's not easy to sift through all the mature, adult-oriented series to find a good one that's appropriate for tweens and teens.

So we did the work for you. While some of our finds are made just for kids, many are suitable for wider audiences (and can turn otherwise silent car rides into entertaining audio experiences). Where else can they get advice from "The Fault in Our Stars" author John Green and his YouTuber brother Hank? Or test their knowledge on NPR's Wait Wait ... Don't Tell Me! or game show-inspired series like Pants on Fire? Plus, in addition to being screen-free, podcasts give tweens and teens a way of listening - and learning - that they can't get on other platforms.

If you're a podcast newbie, check out 25 Podcasts for Kids, which offers tips for how to listen, plus more recommendations for all ages. Otherwise, open up your favorite audio app and dive into these age-appropriate picks for tweens and teens.

What does it mean to be 'in it for the long haul'? In our fiftieth episode, which is also our season finale, we explore this question in the context of both creating a podcast and forging a relationship.

Some people operate within the confines of reality. Others don't. Instead, they will things into existence. Today we'll meet one such determined woman who - faced with countless obstacles - decided to keep calm, put one foot in front of the other, and carry on in pursuit of love.

I am so pleased that my August 2019 interview with Sadaf Siddique, Sister Religion/Sister Kidlit has grown up to be an article in March/April issue of The Horn Book Magazine! It's called We Need Diverse Jewish and Muslim Books: A Conversation because Sadaf and I interviewed each other, continuing the discussion we began on the podcast and recommending Jewish and Muslim titles for all readers. The Horn Book is a distinguished children's literature review journal established in 1924, so I am more than honored to have my name within its pages.

Our conversation was followed by a recommended reading list of Jewish/Muslim interfaith kidlit. I've included that list below, with Book of Life affiliate links to Indiebound or Bookshop.org if available. Any purchases you make will benefit the podcast.

A high-school senior named Hae Min Lee disappeared one day after school in 1999, in Baltimore County, Maryland. A month later, her body was found in a city park. She'd been strangled. Her 17-year-old ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed, was arrested for the crime, and within a year, he was sentenced to life in prison. The case against him was largely based on the story of one witness, Adnan's friend Jay, who testified that he helped Adnan bury Hae's body. But Adnan has always maintained he had nothing to do with Hae's death. Some people believe he's telling the truth. Many others don't.

Sarah Koenig sorted through thousands of documents, listened to trial testimony and police interrogations, and talked to everyone she could find who remembered what happened between Adnan Syed and Hae Min Lee. She discovered that the trial covered up a far more complicated story than the jury - or the public - ever got to hear. The high school scene, the shifting statements to police, the prejudices, the sketchy alibis, the scant forensic evidence - all of it leads back to the most basic questions: How can you know a person's character? How can you tell what they're capable of? In Season One of Serial, she looks for answers.

A high-school senior named Hae Min Lee disappeared one day after school in 1999, in Baltimore County, Maryland. A month later, her body was found in a city park. And two weeks after that, her former boyfriend and classmate, 17-year-old Adnan Syed, was arrested for the crime.

I am so pleased that my August 2019 interview with Sadaf Siddique, Sister Religion/Sister Kidlit has grown up to be an article in March/April issue of The Horn Book Magazine! It's called We Need Diverse Jewish and Muslim Books: A Conversation because Sadaf and I interviewed each other, continuing the discussion we began on the podcast and recommending Jewish and Muslim titles for all readers. The Horn Book is a distinguished children's literature review journal established in 1924, so I am more than honored to have my name within its pages.

Our conversation was followed by a recommended reading list of Jewish/Muslim interfaith kidlit. I've included that list below, with Book of Life affiliate links to Indiebound or Bookshop.org if available. Any purchases you make will benefit the podcast.

About the Hosts

Axe

I used to be a regular girl into playing music and listening to stories. But not just any stories, I listened to stories that raise the hair on your arms. That was me, until one day, after one too many scary stories I began to transform...now I'm half girl, half monster rock star. I'm a Creep. My cold, empty eye sockets will make you stop dead in your tracks.

Toro

I used to be your average guy, a lover of animals, concerned about the environment, you know, just an average vegan dude. Well, an average vegan dude who listened to an above average amount of scary stories... and now I'm a Creep-a horned monster with a thundering hunger for everything terrifying.

Weta

I used to be a typical girl. Just a girl with a love of fashion and fascination for all things that flit and fly and buzz. And a passion for scary stories-too many scary stories it turns out. Now I'm a Creep. I'm more bug-monster than human. I used to do AMAZING makeup tutorials. They're even better now that I have twice the amount of lips.

I can empathize

As a Jew by choice and of color, it's great to hear the stories of those with their Jewish and-and's. Sometimes one can feel isolated even in the most welcoming communities when you're the only one that's not like the others...but now I see there is in fact a much wider community than meets the eye. Great listening!

An engaging, human perspective on the modern Jewish experience

As someone converting to Judaism I sometimes feel like an outsider. This podcast really helps me identify with and feel more comfortable among the Jewish community. It's both enlightening and inspiring. Truly my favorite podcast.

Amazing journalism of a sad but most be told history

Just what is going on with white people? Police shootings of unarmed African Americans. Acts of domestic terrorism by white supremacists. The renewed embrace of raw, undisguised white-identity politics. Unending racial inequity in schools, housing, criminal justice, and hiring. Some of this feels new, but in truth it's an old story.

Why? Where did the notion of "whiteness" come from? What does it mean? What is whiteness for?
