Raffi Cavoukian is a magical musician. His songs, like “Baby Beluga” and “Down by the Bay,” have wordplay and rhyme schemes that are as crowd-pleasing as they come — sweet, silly sing-alongs for kids and adults alike. But his work is anything but simple. Much like the folk singers who inspired him, a radical philosophy underscores all that he does. In "Finding Raffi,” comedian, writer, and podcaster Chris Garcia takes us on a journey through a 10-part series tracing Raffi’s life from aspiring folk singer to international kids’ superstar to outspoken activist for climate action and a child-centric world. Produced in partnership with Rococo Punch.

Precious.

Thank you so much for this invaluable breath of love and fresh air - the simplest is the most effective. What is life what is love, the beginning of it all.

Incredibly well done

I very much hope that you win the Peabody award so that many more people can discover and benefit from this gem. Especially in these days where we are all grieving the death of George Floyd, we should come back to this masterpiece, in order to find some hope and consolation and to restore our faith in humanity. Thank you so much Carvell, and all the other beautiful people who worked for this most valuable and meaningful project. May you all be safe and protected.

Great Podcast!

What a great reminder of Fred Rogers’s life work and Philosophy. This podcast brought back memories and made me look at my life to find bits of Mr. Rogers in it.
