The GCP Bonus Round, Part 1

At the end of most podcast episodes in Season 1, I asked guests to play The GCP Bonus Round where they’d tell me their favorite poems, children’s books and TV/film/theater parent. I’ve compiled the responses of my first five guests from Season One, pictured above. Click on the links below to check out their favorites –– you may find some new books, poems and shows to enjoy with your families. Can you match the guests with their favorites? Answers and another quiz next week!

Feel free to revisit the episodes to hear their recommendations and anything else you may have missed here, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, and wherever you find your favorite podcasts. What are some of your favorite poems, children’s books and shows? Tell me in the comments, I’d love to know!

We’re deep in the planning/production of Season 2, which will begin on September 30. Are there topics you’d like to hear about, people you’d like to hear parenting wisdom from in Season 2? Please let me know in the comments. I’m so grateful for all of your positive responses to Season 1 and would love to grow my podcast audience–here’s how you can help:

share your favorite episodes with friends
subscribe–you won’t miss any, and you’ll get early access to new episodes each week
rate and review on Apple Podcasts. The ratings and reviews help new listeners find us!

Thanks so much for listening. Here are the favorites from our first 5 guests. Let’s see how many you can match up!
