Every year I do some reading in honor of World Read Aloud Day. It's every March 2nd in honor of Dr. Seuss' birthday. Sometimes I do something Laura specific, but lately I've been doing Mother West Wind's Children by Thorton W. Burgess. For awhile I was doing short episodes as I tested various microphones, but today's is going to be my standard equipment. Learn more about Burgess and find a list of links to the other stories. Today we're doing "Why Peter Rabbit's Ears Are Long."

I know what it means to miss New Orleans.... or rather I don't. I've never been there, but it's one of my friend Kelly Pezel's favorite places to visit. She's going to join me so we can learn about what to visit in New Orleans, how and why. Tracy Vozar is going to call in, too. Tracy is going to talk about going to the Big Easy for Mardi Gras and how you can actually participate in a Mardi Gras parade.
