Meet Sheila ​(Yes! That sugar loving, fact loving, rock loving Sheila!), ​​a 9 year old restless rockhound, who gets in trouble...a lot. While grounded she discovers her rock collection has the power to transport her through space, time and reason! Join her as she embarks on a quest through the Islands of the Longago Sea, searching for the leftovers she needs to get back home.

The Semi-adventures of Sheila is a five-part humorous and nonsensical audio-drama for kids​. Just released from Buttons & Figs, a podcast about nonsense and wordplay. ​

All this week, we'll be highlighting our children's programming on Crater Radio. Dedicating time to quality children's media is rare on the radio, even among many public radio and community stations.

We are proud to work with exceptional kids radio shows, from our very region. Stay tuned all week to learn more about outstanding shows such as Mary Farfisa, Buttons & Figs, and The Children's Hour, and our expanding children's lineup.

Check out this wonderful podcast by our friends at the Center for Health Equity Research!

The Fairness First podcast presents, the first Health Equity ChitChat, a new segment where we honor the work of q***r people and women of color who have created knowledge that can nurture and guide our actions in advancing health justice in our communities.

In this episode, co-hosts, Carmenlita Chief and Alexandra Samarron, discuss the work of q***r, Chicanx and community feminist, Gloria Anzaldúa. Tune in for a conversation and reflection about the connection between health equity and mestiza consciousness.
