Briscoe, Mary Farfisa’s space horse friend, has come to visit me because apparently I have some sounds from Mary’s Outer Space Library that are overdue! In this episode you’ll get to meet the creator of Mary Farfisa’s Outer Space Radio Theater, Jim Cheff and you’ll also get to hear all sorts of music and noise from his show…and as always, we have a couple of Buttons & Figs kids who will show you ways to wordplay!
After meeting Spring-Heeled Jack this summer what if you were inspired to bounce…ok, leap great distances. Where will such leaping lead? You are about to find out….in the SummerTime Zone.
You’ve been playing outside with your friends all day, you’re about to be called in for the night, when out of the shadows a gentleman appears, one with bat wings, red eyes, and clawed hands, known from legend as Spring-Heeled Jack. You are about to hear what fear, or exasperation, sounds like in – the Summertime Zone.
Summertime Zone Encore: Two kids, two ideas. One song contest. On the back of a cereal box. Should Sheila and her friend enter? Can they work together? Will they win? What is a lunar launcher?
You are about to travel through to the kid dimension, to join the audience of your favorite game show, Guess That Noun. One kid contestant knows the answer to this game, regardless of the actual answer, or what the audience has to say. You are about to play this game…in the Summertime Zone.
Hey Buttons & Figs kids….I’m super excited to share this summertime zone journey with you because it was written by a Buttons & Figs kid! One of the kids from our fall semester of wordplay reached out and said that he had an idea for a Summertime Zone episode, featuring none other than Sheila!
You are about to journey into the past, when kids took turn telling stories after a long day of play…but sometimes it landed on that kid. The kid who likes candy and slurpees. Next stop, the Summertime Zone.
Summer is officially here! You know what that means…summer sketch comedy fun at Buttons & Figs! We’ll have some summer silliness from the past and present, along with some great summer reading and podcast recommends! To kick off this summer, we have a song, one we recorded with some extraterrestrials we encountered, who happen to love wordplay as much as me and you!
