Recess! The World of Children's Culture Every Day

The following commentary is extracted directly from the website:

"Recess!" is a daily, three-minute program for adults that explores the dynamic cultures of childhood, past and present, and around the world. We take you on this daily journey through biographical and historical notes, commentaries, audio essays, original stories, and reviews of the latest books, music, movies, television shows, and other media being produced for children. One of our listeners commented that our program "sounds like a New Yorker for kid's stuff." We were flattered to hear this, because, from the beginning, we've wanted "Recess!" to be a regular voice on public radio on behalf of children's culture and its vital, lasting importance."

As an educator, parent and life long learner, I would rate discovering this site as one of the greatest gifts I have ever received searching the web. A lovey three minute tribute to Fred Rogers is archived in the May 2004 transcripts and other exceptional treats.
