Junior Pigeon Podcast - Episode 5
It has been a long time since we last podcasted! Sorry about that. We aim to do better in the future. Today’s podcast is extra fantastic to make up for the lack of podcasts over the last many months. It’s a conversation with Jill Fredericks, Laura MacKenzie and Vincenzo Ravina. Topics covered: Marie: Everyone’s middle name? Santa Claus: a hoax Jill is uncomfortable with...

Venice
I’m realizing I won’t be able to edit much more video before coming home, so here’s an out of sequence update from Venice! We almost missed the wedding, but thank goodness we didn’t! And now we’re in Venice!

The MacKenzie / Ravina Memorial Kettle
We found ourselves with a kettle we couldn’t bring any further in our journey. And so we did what we do best: put our names on the kitchen appliance and leave it somewhere. Also in this video: knife stealing! This video concludes the UK portion of our journey. We’d like to thank the UK for being awesome and English-speaking, and we’d like to thank Mark and Anna for showing...

The Ordeal

Overly long first travel podcast
The next ones will be shorter! Promise. Also the sound quality’s not the best. Will work on that also. Be well! Junior Pigeon podcast episode 4! I think. http://tapparatus.com/lw6ANtDaJtUmGbC/

Menacing Squirrels and Majestic Giraffes
Junior Pigeon in London! The video is here! In two parts. Check it out and let us know what you think. Editing on the iPhone isn’t quite as easy as it is on computer, but hopefully it turned out OK! We’re in Spain now, and these videos are courtesy of our in-room WiFi which has been sorely lacking in the hostels that came before!

Vampires Vampires and the Bittersweet Fudge-Bag
Laura and I have written each other books! In 2009, I wrote Laura a picture book called Vampires Vampires and the Bittersweet Fudge-Bag for her birthday. The name came out of a conversation she and I had about vampires and fudge. It was my first time attempting to write a picture book, and it took months to draw the pictures and to write the rhyming verse that makes up the text. You can read...

ABOUT LAURA Laura MacKenzie would like to know, if you could be able to fly or be able to breathe under water, which would you prefer? She is a recent journalism graduate and a world-class poet. She enjoys making bird-themed greeting cards, and she hates when you say ‘utilize’ when you could just as easily say ‘use.’ She is enthusiastic, and good at thinking up...
