This is our favorite time of year to create a special! In this podcast we have packed 48 minutes with some of our original Christmas Songs that span more than a decade! (In other words, some are old and others are OLDER!) MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM ROBIN AND THE GIANT!!!

It's only pretend! In this special we have a visit to a "haunted house" and Robin teaches the Giant about the "make believe" of Halloween.

It's time to go BACK TO SCHOOL with Robin And The Giant.  In this podcast for children (originally broadcast in 1993) Robin And The Giant remember the fun of their Summer Vacation but also look forward to a fun school year filled with Field Trips, making new friends, new school supplies, learning and, of course LUNCH (the Giant's FAVORITE school activitiy!)  This FUN collection of stories and songs was completely written and performed by Robin And The Giant and now we hope it helps you enjoy your trips to the mall and the clothing stores for all your back to school shopping!

This is the score, or soundtrack, that I created for the book "Oreo And Braun: XOB, The Full Circle Quest" available everywhere fine books are sold. Enjoy!

In this podcast for kids by Robin And The Giant the theme is about learning and having fun learning.  The program begins when the Giant brings in seven puppies to show to Robin.  Unlike the other podcasts for kids that Robin And The Giant have published, this one has no story.  Just dialogue and songs.  Each song teaches a little simple lesson like the alphabet, the names of the planets, the colors of the rainbow, the vowels, and a few other songs that are thrown in "just for fun". 

Of course, there is the song "Seven Puppies", also.

By the way, this podcast for children was created from a tape recording of a radio program first broadcast on March 13, 1994.  The tape itself has deteriorated a little so you may notice a few unavoidable "glitches" in the sound.  We just wanted you to know that the file is OK and that your I-Pod is OK.  (Phew!)

The new book of stories by Robin And The Giant is now available!  It is titled "The Gift Of The Barking Frog And Other Gifts From The Heart".  It is on the internet at http://www.lulu.com/quillandkeyboard

 

This podcast for children begins with the "trademark" Robin And The Giant dialogue followed by a story titled "One In A Million".  The story is followed by some more dialogue in which Robin And The Giant talk about having fun in the snow.  The song "Fun" is next.

The podcast concludes with the song "Stand Up For The Children".  The words to this song were actually entered into the Congressional Record in the U.S. Congress on October 4, 1989 by Congressman Cliff Stearns. 

This is a full hour special for Spring!  It includes fun dialogue from Robin And The Giant.  After a fun beginning, Robin And The Giant do the song "Magic Mother Nature".  After more FUN dialogue about the neat things of Spring, Robin And The Giant perform the songs "A New Beginning" and "My Springtime Song".  This podcast for kids then features the story "Bobby And Fluff Pup", followed by the song "Empty Pages".

Robin And The Giant then "tour" the outdoor world in this podcast for children, looking at clouds and all the different things that Spring does bring.  The songs, "Like Children" and "My Springtime Friend" are performed during this segment.

With more FUN dialogue, the element of change is explored in the story about a butterfly and her human friend titled "Madeline", followed by the song "Changes".

This commercial-free one-hour special was one of the Robin And The Giant Specials featured Internationally on Digital Cable Radio's For Kids Only channel.
