I had the amazing opportunity to talk to Ben Rudnick.  We talked about family music, the Grateful Dead, and musicals.  Some of my favorite stuff!  "The award-winning music of Ben Rudnick and Friends, Boston-based pioneers of the kindie music scene, has delighted families nationwide for nearly two decades.  Propelled by a sonic boom of critical praise crowned by seven Parents' Choice® Awards and a John Lennon Songwriting Award."  You can hear Ben's song 'A Frog Named Sam' at the end of the show.  Find all of the past episodes at www.goodstuffpod.com !!!
