Frances Friday: That's Frances on the Radio!

As part of our bedtime routine, Frances asks to snuggle on the Big Bed (aka our bed). Sometimes we say yes; usually we say no, it's getting late and you have to get up early tomorrow.

When we do say yes, Frances asks to hear Mummy and Frances on the radio--or, in english, our podcast. I dial it up on the iPod and plug it in and for a few giddy seconds, Frances is the happiest child on earth. She laughs at her own jokes. She sits still and stares at the magical white box. "Is that Frances? Is that Mummy and Frances talking on the radio?" She asks. "Yes! It is Mummy and Frances talking on the radio!" She answers.

The original deal, last winter when I started this, was that you, my Dear Readers, could determine the content of Radio Free Frances by asking her whatever questions you would like. I would record Frances's answers and put them on the air--or web, or whatever--for you. It goes on the podcast (which, by the way, you can subscribe to via bloglines or iTunes if you're interested--url is http://www.athenadreaming.org/radiofreefrances.rss) and I put a link to the file here, too, for whoever wants it the older-fashioned way.

Well, we're out of questions. Except for the snow one, and even though the forecast called for snow last night, I am resolutely ignoring it. Dear Readers, the future of this exciting innovation in radio programming is in your hands: What would you like to ask Frances?

You can visit the Radio Free Frances category in the drop-down menu on the left sidebar if you want inspiration; or you can ask whatever you'd like, within the bounds of reason and good taste. (Don't ask me to define those, ok?) Leave the question as a comment here, and someday soon, the whole world (or at least a few hundred people) will be able to hear Frances's insightful answer.
