    Pop Off: Is It Okay to Play in Difficult Times?

    Sometimes we hear “it’s not the time for that” when it comes to play or diving into pop culture in difficult times. When times are hard, we might feel guilty about doing things that seem frivolous. But Haeny and Nathan are here to push back on the idea that there’s something wrong with playing—or when we don’t perform the “right” kind of “serious” response—when we deal with challenges, loss and grief. Check out the zine Haeny mentions in the episode here. Please take our listener survey! We could really use your insight and opinions, and we want to hear your ideas for Pop Off topics and future guests!  For transcripts of this episode, to learn about our guests, and more, visit our website.  Our music is selections from Leafeaters by Podington Bear, Licensed under CC (BY-NC) 3.0.

    Pop Offs are short bonus episodes of Pop and Play where we bring you short, more timely shows between main seasons of Pop and Play. This week: it seems like there are checklists for everything! A checklist can be a useful tool, but do we need them for children’s play? Can you guess what Haeny thinks?

    Learning about Playing Roles from the Experts: Kids!

    This week Haeny and Nathan get schooled. Specifically they visit the first grade classroom of first-grade teacher and education scholar Carmen Llerena and talk to some kids! They learn how to play pirates, all about Rainbow Friends, and how to navigate conflict through pretend play. They talk about how kids use available materials to play in unexpected ways, the role of adults when it comes to shaping spaces where kids play, and learn about how easily imaginary worlds emerge from a pile of blocks.  Fact check: We know that while Haeny says “America Ferrera aka Barbie” in this episode, Barbie was actually played by Margot Robbie in the movie and America Ferrera played a human character. No need to email, message, or DM us this correction.

    Live Action Role Playing (with Swords!) at the Wayfinder Experience

    There’s no denying it (looking at you, Haeny), on this week’s episode we’re diving into “role playing.” It’s right in the acronym “Live Action Role Playing” or LARPing, the topic of this week’s episode. Haeny and Nathan are joined by Judson Packard, Program Director of the Wayfinder Experience camp in the Hudson Valley that runs LARPing programs for kids. They talk about their experiences as a camper at Wayfinder and now as a staff member, and what LARPing offers people that can make it a special and transformative experience. And they discuss the central importance of foam swords. Also: beware of spoilers for the movie Role Models! (It came out in 2008, so… you had time.)  For transcripts of this episode and more, visit our website.  Our music is selections from Leafeaters by Podington Bear, Licensed under CC (BY-NC) 3.0.
