Ever thought about what it’ll be like if God responded to your prayers in real-time, even while you’re still praying (or trying to pray)? I think it’ll probably be pretty amusing.

Thanks to The Ironic Catholic for sharing this on his blog! Here’s a snippet:

Our Father, Who Art In Heaven.
Yes?
Don’t interrupt me. I’m praying.
But… you called me!
Called you? No, I didn’t call you. I’m praying. Our Father who art in Heaven…
There… you did it again.
Did what?
Called me. You said, “Our Father, who art in Heaven.”
Well, here I am. What’s on your mind?
But I didn’t mean anything by it. I was, you know, just saying my prayers for the day. I always say the Lord’s Prayer. It makes me feel good, kind of like fulfilling a duty.
Well, all right. Go on….

Yes! The “Podcast Reviews” series is finally back again! Today I bring you some podcasts I found that are made just for kids (and those young at heart too of course )

It all started when I accidentally discovered the Sesame Street Podcast (rss). I grew up watching Sesame Street, so this podcast brought lots of happy memories. Boy do I miss those afternoons in front of the television watching Big Bird, Oscar, Cookie Monster, Bert & Ernie, The Count, Elmo, etc. A couple of years ago, I even had the Sesame Street theme song as my mobile phone’s ringtone!

The Radio Adventures of Dr. Floyd (rss) is one of the MOST successful podcasts for children, and are currently in their 7th season. I’ve heard it mentioned on many of my favorite podcasts, so I finally decided to subscribe to it, and listen for myself. It was storytelling at its best! I also discovered that there’s now a Adventures of Dr. Floyd Video Podcast (rss). It was a joy to watch! If you want the best of both worlds, you can also subscribe to their catch-all feed.

If you’ve enjoyed the above podcasts, you’ll most likely enjoy Animal Rescue Force Friends! (ARFF) (rss) by Dan Klass (of The Bitterest Pill fame) and his son, Hudson. Dan and Hudson tell educational, humorous and entertaining stories with their homemade puppets. It’s a pity that there’s only 2 episodes available, but with Dan’s busy schedule and the huge amount of time to produce and edit these video podcasts, it’s probably understandable. Still, I really wish to see more of this father-and-son duo. Perhaps if enough people email Dan to bug him about ARFF, he’ll realize the popularity of the series and produce more episodes! *hint hint*

If you’re a fan of Aesop’s Fables, like I was, you’ll love the Aesop’s Fables Podcast (rss) by LearnOutLoud.com. These stories are timeless and are choice material for parents of young children in teaching them moral values and moral living.

Well, that’s all I have for now. Please check out my Podcasts page for links to the podcasts mentioned here and many more others!
