This is a weekly podcast featuring a saint whose feast is celebrated that week. They are short episodes, 4 to 5 minutes each, and begin with a quick description of the saint, followed by a narrated story highlighting something this saint is particularly known for. The stories have sound effects and everything, it's so endearing. :) At the end, the narrator draws a lesson that we can all learn from this saint. The newest episode features St. Scholastica!
I really enjoyed these, and officially subscribed to the feed so that I'll receive new episodes automatically in my podcast app. If you go to the Shining Light Dolls website, scroll down just a tad and you'll see "Saint Stories for Kids", followed by the option to listen to the latest episode, or subscribe via a number of different feed options. They would be perfect to play for your kids, but I have to admit that I'm looking forward to listening to the new episodes as well. They are a breath of fresh air for my morning commute!
In other faith news, I have some ideas for Lent, including a read-along/book club idea that I'm *really* excited about. Look for a post on that next week! 😀
Be excited to see the Lent book club idea! I'm hopeful to do it this year. Am not sure I've ever listened to a podcast - although - were they what you used to have on your tea time posts? I did listen to some when my sister was in the hospital. There were a nice little breathing space. The saint ones sound like something I would enjoy as well.
ReplyDeleteHi Donna! Yes, Tea Time was a podcast. :) I wish I still had time to do them, but...ugh. It makes me sad, but it is what it is, for now at least. Hoping that changes in the future!
