Thursday: Rollo

Horse racing is the sport of kings, so rollo must be the sport of... serfs? The guilds?
You don't know what rollo is, well, listen to today's show (and then help me with my analogy).

Four Wheel Good, Two Wheels Better (9:05)
Many people are avoiding summer construction by getting out of their cars and onto bikes. Bikes may help your commute, but can also be fun. Brad Iverson-Long has a guide to playing rollo, or mini-bike polo. It's like horse polo, except played on kids' bicycles.

And here's a visual on rollo

You can see more (and better) pictures of rollo at the blog for their event earlier this summer, Bruised by Bike. They also have a complete text version of the rules.

Wednesday: The pulse of Puget Sound

Here it is, the mighty Stillaguamish:
Fish Out of Water (8:15)
We'll look at people protecting the life of Puget Sound. Emily Barreca files an audiopostcard from the shores of Hood Canal, where some are working to bring back native oysters. Molly McGill talks to several activists at the Stillaguamish Festival of the River and Pow Wow.

We found out about the Festival of the River in part thanks to MudUp, which is a great resource for people working to improve the Sound.

Today (and tomorrow)'s credits music is Funkinst by Teru, found at CCMixter.

Tuesday: I love the way they dribble...

Today: Sports, or Pick-up basketball and picking up dogs.

Getting in the game (8:25)
Today we have game plans for getting into two highly competitive yet social sports. Annie Stoller-Patterson finds out how to become a dog show handler. Then Kayla Sargent has an audio guide for how to join the pick-up basketball games at the Greenlake Community Center.

This is Alyssa and her two dogs.
Come on back tomorrow.

Monday: A piece of work

We're back to work, and talking about work.

From seeds to sales (10:22)

Summer isn't just a break from school. Many youth also get summer jobs, for work experience or for a paycheck. Nathan Friend profiles the Seattle Youth Garden Works. And several of our VoxPod interns do their job and ask people about their first or current summer job.

Here's a slideshow of Nathan's photos at Seattle Youth Garden Works.

Sophia, Molly and Kayla helped out with the vox pop at the start of the show.

For those keeping track, this is our longest show yet. I'm not sure whether to feel proud or apologetic.
