And an episode of Ridiculous Crime - a 99% murder-free podcast on capers, crime, and utter ridiculousness, where I first heard about J. Fred Muggs  - if your older kids - I’d let Acey listen at 9, are into something like this, it’s clean language, silly, and great hosts. I don’t know the hosts, I have nothing to gain from it - just thought you might like it if you or family like to listen to such things. Check it out first before letting littles listen but I think, and you hear my show - you know what I’m cool with letting my kiddo listen to - it might be a lot more than you’d be ok with, so check it out first.
