This podcast is so well done. One episode in and I’m already learning about media, children’s media and even how to communicate with children. Sabrina Herrera and CT Public have done a fantastic job.

I been to listening to this series since 11/12 and I enjoyed it so much. I listen to podcasts from time to time but this one is my new favorite series. And it also has a nice and positive vibe of Barney the dinosaur as he always spreads love to fans and children in the 90s to today. I been a huge fan of Barney since I was little and this documentary became the best Barney documentary ever especially when it was recorded by the same place where they pitched Barney from home videos to PBS. I give Sabrina Herrera and the team she works with a great big applause.
