Smarty Pants - Field Trip!!!

Today is extra exciting because we are heading out of the studio to go on our second field trip. Toby and Istvan head to Friendly Coffee Lounge to meet their friend, talented balloon twister, Smarty Pants. Toby not only interviews Mr. Pants but kind of shows everyone how to conduct a good interview at the same time. He also tries coffee for the first time and does not like it.

Friendly Tap is a music venue, and a coffee house, a music school and a bar located on Roosevelt Road between Berwyn and Oak Park Illinois.

See the cool accompanying video of Smarty Pants giving a sample of some of the cool stuff he does. Go to Istvan’s YouTube to see for yourself.

Fondue!

Happy New Year you guys and welcome to Season 2 of the podcast! Today is a big day because it’s the debut of my first ever single. It’s a disco dance monster jam named Fondue. In our house we celebrate New Years Eve by making fondue and I thought it would be the perfect idea for a song to celebrate the start of a new year.

But that’s not all. Turns out January 3 is also National Chocolate Covered Cherry day. So lets celebrate this extra sweet day and the first episode of the new season. Thanks for listening and be sure to add Fondue to your best playlist and share it and the podcast with your family and friends. Fondue in ‘22!!!

Eric Carle Tribute - FR Frog Returns!

In the literal wake of the flooding we had here at the studio Istvan decides to take it easy and try to recharge his batteries. A much needed and well deserved story time is just the answer so Istvan’s family frog comes down to the studio to help him read one of his favorite Eric Carle books The Grouchy Ladybug. Everyone is then treated to Mr. Moon’s Song which as it turns out was most likely indirectly inspired by another Eric Carle book. So sit back and get comfy and enjoy this nice and easy episode of Istvan’s Imaginary Podcast.
