Bonus Episode: Interviews with Gus Bus Kids, K-2 and 3-5 - I love it!

In this Unabridged Bonus episode, we share our experience with the Gus Bus, a mobile literacy program that also offers this after-school component. We met with two groups, K-2 and 3-5, to talk a little bit about podcasting, share some favorite children's books, and get some great recommendations from the Gus Bus students. 

We loved hearing the students' excitement as they learned about Unabridged, quizzed us about our level of fame, and expressed great enthusiasm about books and reading. To learn more about the Gus Bus program, check out their website.
