Mainstream media has betrayed our trust.

Rather than tell us the whole story about the important issues of the day, they tell us

only what they want us to hear.

Your hosts, Tom Harris and Todd Royal, will bring you the other side of the story.

Over the past couple of decades, we've seen a worrying trend in children's books, TV, movies, and other media.

They used to be just about entertaining kids while teaching them their ABCs,

arithmetic, science, civics, and basic good values like kindness, honesty, hard work, and respect for

others. Instead, whether it's in the Disney franchise or in our libraries, we've seen a shift

to creating content designed to indoctrinate children into a specific ideology.

In today's program, Todd and I will be discussing this problem with children's book author, business owner, and children's entertainer, Mary Jean Harris, who just happens to be my daughter.

Listeners can learn about Mary Jean's children's picture books at Ottawaprincessparties.com

slash fairy tale dash stories.

And don't worry, we'll include all the web links that we mentioned in today's program

when this episode goes to podcast on Monday.

Mary Jean also writes exciting fantasy novels for teenagers and young adults that you can learn

about by visiting the soulwanderers.ca. Her full-time job is as owner and operator of the

Ottawa-based business, fairy tale princess parties, that sends fairy tale characters like Cinderella

and superhero characters like Spider-Man to kids' birthday parties, company picnics, and other special events.

Her company has also hosted Zoom visits of characters for children in hospitals and other locations.

You can learn about that business at Ottawaprincessparties.com.

So welcome to the show, Mary Jean.

Nice to be on.
