cbeebies radio and related podcasts...

[potatofactory]

The best thing ever. We love them in our house. Anyone else?

This morning with our porridge we had a story, a rhyme, silly songs and noises to guess. What more could you want?

Anyone?

Podcasts, fine idea.

Having it scheduled for 5am on Radio 7 (and 6am on Sundays - lol that kids will sleep an extra hour just because it's Sunday) - BAD idea.

I usually have Radio 7 on at night due to insomnia. Quite often, just as I'm drifting back off to sleep again the feckin Cbeebies theme tune jolts me awake - aaargh. It's completely mad programming.

Sorry - don't have any comment re the actual programmes themselves - DD watches Cbeebies on telly at pretty much every opportunity, so we don't have an extra need for the radio version! I can imagine though that they might be a useful diversion if you weren't somewhere you could see the telly, or didn't want it on.

its on radio 7 I take it? When>?

I love it in the mornings as I am not a morning person and can't hold aconversation properly for at least half an hour after waking.
So DD's and I have breakfast/coffee with cbeebies radio on, which means they eat as well as listening, instead of staring slackjawed at the telly, and I don't have to interact until a more sensible hour. Bliss.

Stealth - hmm that's odd, just checked the schedule and it's been moved from a 5am start to a 6am start. So 6am-8am every day. Must be recent, unless I've been suffering half-awake delusions

That's GOOD though, I don't mind it being 6am, I can just switch over to the Today programme and wake up gently.

We do CBeebies breakfast too, only it's the slackjawed TV version

Oh and yes it is BBC 7, though you can listen directly from the website, or do the podcast thing

At teh weekend I am fine with the slackjawed tv but DD1 will not get dressed with the tv on in case she misses a microsecond so we have radio, and if breakfast is finished and they are both dressed by the goodbye song then they get real telly
