Young children are more perceptive than we might imagine.

Curiosity and intelligence are a heady cocktail for creative storytelling that informs, entertains and educates.

This author could not resist.

We might not realize how observant young children are.

They have a lot of curiosity and intelligence that make them great at creating stories that can teach, amuse and enlighten.

This author was drawn to this. You may wonder what a child understands about freedom, the environment, tolerance and self-worth.

This book is for sensitive kids who want to know more about these tough topics. The themes are presented in small pieces in a safe and interesting setting, with colourful illustrations throughout.

Moral questions are woven into the dialogues with the characters, with some humour and fun. The aim is that bedtime stories like these will encourage meaningful and loving conversations between parent and child.

The imagination has a power that can take us anywhere. The experience can be thrilling and the lessons learned can be life-changing. Parents may not know how to broach a subject.

The David Watson Podcast #185 If Genocide was a currency, China...… Shhhhh!

Shen Yun is a performing arts company, highlighting the rich history of Chinese culture.

And you would think this would be celebrated by the CCP.

Instead what you have is a rich history of interference, a deliberate attempt to ruin their reputation and stop the Shen Yun performing arts company.

More and more we hear concerns about how far the CCP's influence is reaching and more and more our governments seem to be silent, some might say complicit.

The David Watson Podcast #183 What is the truth about college football and Bear Bryant

Tom Shanahan is an award-winning sportswriter and author whose books focus on Michigan State’s football program leading college football integration.

College Football Hall of Fame coach Duffy Daugherty 1960s rosters were college football’s first fully integration teams.

His 2022 story on the Rose Bowl, Alabama and segregation won first place from the Football Writers of Association of America.

Shanahan’s first book, RAYE OF LIGHT, Jimmy Raye, Duffy Daugherty, the Integration of College Football and the 1965-66 Michigan State Spartans, focused on the Daugherty’s back-to-back national championship teams.

The Foreword was written by Pro Football Hall of Fame coach Tony Dungy. His second book, THE RIGHT THING TO DO, The True Pioneers of College Football Integration in the 1960s, explains how Daugherty’s former assistant coaches and players followed his blueprint as head coaches to spread his fingerprints coast to coast.

Their influence opened doors for the first Black players to integrate programs in the South and brought about the end of unwritten quotas limiting Black athletes to a half-dozen or so at USC and other schools.

The Foreword was written by former East Carolina coach Ruffin McNeill, who was inspired by Jimmy Raye to enter coaching.

When I arrange to have a guest on my podcast, I often have a general idea of what we will talk about.

Not this time, in this episode Gregg and I had an intimate conversation about grief.

It was more than just how to deal with grief.

When you know someone has your back, the grief is deep, it takes time and there is no immediate solution or fast track cure.

This was emotional.
