JULY Q&A

Today Princess Donnasaurus, Macho Supreme, and Alakazambra are answering questions from our friends Jori, Levi, Margot, and Wesley . . . although it's a little hard to hear them over all that noise in the Neighborhood! It is the Burn Voyage blasting Cannonballs? Is it the Kaiju coming early for her cardboard feast? Is it the latest drop from the Dreadnoughts? We may not find out today, but in the meantime we've got replies, ridiculousness, and a royal introduction to a brand new friend!

Royal Rotation

Today, Macho Supreme is headed to Princess Donnasaurus's place to perform an act of kindness . . . or is he? Last summer Macho rotated PD's castle out of the sun every day, and he's planning to do it again. But does PD want her castle rotated this year? Making sure our kind acts feel kind to the person we want to be kind to is the kindest thing of all!

The Power of Yet!

It's pool-party time at Alakazambra's house and everyone's invited. Even Preston Change-o is there! But when AllyK asks him to fill the empty pool using his new water spell, he starts to feel nervous. It's difficult, and Preston keeps making mistakes. He's getting really frustrated and is about ready to give up when Alakazambra teaches him the most powerful spell of all—one that even mere mortals can use! You say you don't know the spell? . . . You don't know it - YET! Get more at: [IMAGINENEIGHBORHOOD.org] (https://www.imagineneighborhood.org/) Friend and follow us!

Feelin' Groovy: Ragtime Grooves

Today Princess Donnasaurus and Macho Supreme are playing one of the Neighborhood's favorite games—“Feelin' Groovy!” You play by listening to a song together, then you share all the different emotions it makes you feel, and the different things it makes you think about! It's a fun way to learn about your friends, and to find out about cool music. And the best part about playing “Feelin' Groovy” is that there are no wrong answers and everybody wins!

Don't Yuck My Yum!

Best friends Princess Donnasaurus and Doctor Apocalypso love to spend time together, and today they're heading to the amusement park to ride the best rides, play the greatest games, and eat the tastiest treats! But what happens when besties don’t agree on what is best? Things will get a little sticky at first, but in the end PD and Doc will learn that being friends is about how much you like each other—not how much you like other things. And that being kind means letting people like whatever they like, and to not yuck their yums! Get more at: [IMAGINENEIGHBORHOOD.org] (https://www.imagineneighborhood.org/) Friend and follow us!

Rerun: Alakazambraids

Today Count Vacula is super excited because Alakazambra is taking him to a fancy new roller-skating rink! But first she’s getting a brand-new hairdo from magical Miss Mamas at The Enchanted Haus of Coils, Curls, and Charms! Her new bewitching braids make her feel happy, confident, and ready to roll, but at the rink a bunch of troller skaters tell AllyK they won’t let her skate until she changes her hair. It'll take some support from Miss Mamas to help Alakazambra stand up against discrimination and let her inner light shine bright!

Rerun: Anyone Can Play

When Macho Supreme decides that Count Vacula can't play Nebula Trek with him, because in the Nebula Trek movie all the actors are white and Vac is Asian, Scotty explains that excluding people because of their identity is wrong—plus, it makes playing less fun! Macho apologizes to Vac and learns that the kind thing to do is to make it okay for everyone to play! This episode is supported by a generous grant from The Allstate Foundation.

Fortunately, Conductor Scotty and the Brain Train show up in her imagination just in time. And by using the power of her mind, Doc can do anything!

Gruncle Vaxie's Grown-Up Corner: Grown-ups Have Feelings

Greetings, listeners. Once again it is I, Gruncle Vaxie. Today we will discuss how to tell what your grown-up is feeling. Yes, I know. You are surprised. But it is true—grown-ups have feelings, just like regular people! And just as it is important to practice empathy with regular people, it is also important to practice empathy with your grown-ups.   It can be quite difficult to tell what your grown-up is feeling. They are often very busy and distracted by adult concerns like tax returns, performance reviews, and adequate flossing. But today we will learn some tips for assessing the emotional state of your grown-up and whether they might need a hug. And remember, you can always simply ask your grown-up how they are feeling and if they would like a hug.  You may practice with me now.  Thank you for asking. Yes, Gruncle Vaxie has many deep feelings. And yes, he would like a hug. That was very kind of you. And although the universe remains a bewildering kaleidoscope of conflicting demands, I feel much better now.

Rerun: Princess Donnasaurus Waits for Her Birthday

The Imagine Neighborhood just turned three this week, so we know how exciting birthdays can be! It reminds us of the time Princess Donnasaurus decided she couldn't wait another whole year for hers, and decreed that EVERY day would be her birthday! It seemed like a good idea at first, but it turns out that partying every day is exhausting, cake and ice cream aren't all that nutritious, and special days aren't so special when they never end. Luckily, Scotty was on hand to help PD learn patience, and that some things are worth waiting for! Get more at:  [IMAGINENEIGHBORHOOD.org] (https://www.imagineneighborhood.org/) Friend and follow us!

Count Vacula Feels Afraid: Remastered

It's our birthday! The Imagine Neighborhood launched on this day in 2020, and now we have 5 seasons, 145 episodes, and over 1.3M downloads, all thanks to YOU! To celebrate we're sharing a brand-new remaster of our first-ever episode, "Count Vacula Feels Afraid." It's the story about the time he babysitter was coming over, and Vac was having some big feelings called separation anxiety. But with a little encouragement, Vac was able to share his feelings with me—and together we learned that talking about the things that matter with the people that matter most can help you feel better about almost anything!

Eggling 1-2-3

Adjusting to new things can be challenging. Just ask Princess Donnasaurus—she’s about to become a big sister, and that means lots of change! And although she’s really excited, she’s also feeling uncertain. She’s learning that a new sibling means sharing her toys and her room, and not making too much noise—plus it turns out that you can’t even yeet a baby! Not ever! And although PD has a handbook to help her learn what to do, it feels like the baby dinosaur is growing too fast to keep up with. Even with Scotty’s help, everything’s going wrong! Furniture is smashing, paintings are falling, and there’s Jell-O EVERYwhere. So come join us at the (slightly crowded) castle, where we’ll meet the Neighborhood’s newest royal reptile, get better at adjusting to change, and find out that babies are just like anybody else—what they need most of all is kindness!

February Q&A

Here in The Imagine Neighborhood, we love questions! We love to ask them, because that’s how we learn about things, and we love to answer them because that’s how we help other people learn about things.

No Filter with Rachel Litfin

On today’s No Filter with Count Vacula you'll meet YA author Rachel Litfin. Rachel started writing her very first story when she was only 13 years old, and now it’s her grown-up job. How great is that?! She and Vac talked about how stories help us to learn about our own feelings, and how they can also teach us that everybody else has big feelings, too. We really liked getting to know Rachel and we think you’re going to like her too!  Get more at: [IMAGINENEIGHBORHOOD.org] (https://www.imagineneighborhood.org/) Friend and follow us!

Rerun: Raising the Steaks

Hey there, my little hardcore headbangers! Doctor Apocalypso here, welcoming you back for Part Two of our slammin’ story about fighting discrimination. Last week, you heard how our new Big Bot Burger restaurant wouldn’t serve Wastelanders like me—and how me and Scotty led a peaceful protest to let them know unfairness is not welcome in our Neighborhood. But guess what? Big Bot just opened their restaurants in other places. Lots and lots of other places! Like I said before—the thing about discrimination is that you have to fight it no matter where it happens. So even though Big Bot wasn’t open in the Wasteland anymore, we still had to do something. We had to let everyone know the truth! Because no matter how delicious a Big Bot burger is, nothing is tastier than some juicy justice! I hope you have a great time listening to the episode, and always remember—whenever you and your friends stand together against injustice, you make the world a more rockin’, cooler, and kinder place!
