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!Get...

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!Get more at: IMAGINENEIGHBORHOOD.org (https://www.imagineneighborhood.org/)Friend and follow us!FACEBOOK...

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!Get more at: IMAGINENEIGHBORHOOD.org...

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.

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...

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,...

When Empress Bawkarella of the planet Cluckatron catches a lift in the Mach Billion, everything goes great—until the gang runs into a field of dangerous EGGsteroids! And with Scotty out doing a squeegee spacewalk to wipe off the windshield, it’s up to Macho and Bawkarella to navigate the ship to safety. But she doesn’t speak English and Macho doesn’t speak Bawkish! If someone doesn’t speak your language, and you don’t speak theirs, can you still find a way to communicate and make friends?...

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...

Hey there, rockers! It's me, Doctor Apocalypso! Strap on your skull boots and crank up the volume because today, we're going to re-listen to Part One of a story that's really important to me. It's all about fairness and fighting back against discrimination. Discrimination is a word for when someone says that you can’t do something or have something just because of your identity! That’s about as unfair as you can get.Maybe you remember that a couple of years ago, a new restaurant called Big...

Well hello there, you little throw rugs. It’s me! Your very favorite supervillain, Queen Hastabee!  You remember me, right? Of course you do. I’m the one who tried to teach Scotty and his rusty robot pal a lesson about the way a pillow fort HAStabee (https://www.imagineneighborhood.org/listen/episode/1cde88cc/the-hastabee), but they escaped and instead I just got buried in fluffy blankets! Then I tried to make those two cornflakes understand the way a bowl of cereal hastabee, and they still...
