The Social Contract

It’s The Artist Cleo’s birthday, and we wanted to throw a little podcast party to honor our beloved artist-in-residence and fan favorite, the one and only Cleo! As she embarks on her next journey around the sun, there is so much to celebrate!

We’re back with our first holiday special—and so are Georgie and GiGi with an all-new adventure, and this one may just be the best one yet! Get comfy, snuggle up in something cozy, maybe even enjoy a cup of hot coco with marshmallows—or candy cane—because The Social Contract Holiday Special, “A Very Cleo Christmas,” starts now .

We’re back for Season Four – and so are Georgie and GiGi – for more fun adventures! And Georgie and GiGi are now second graders! So this season is geared towards kiddos—and, of course, their parents. And just as they did last season, Georgie and GiGi will come face to face with accomplished women both past and present – Shirley Chisholm, Fannie Lou Hamer, and our very own CLEO – from whom they’ll...

In our first episode, Baby T, Part One, we find ourselves smack dab in the middle of a baseball diamond. How fitting since we’re right in the middle of baseball season.   You may be wondering how baseball came to be known as “the great American pastime.” Well, you could say that baseball was invented right here in the U.S. of A, with the first official game being played in Hoboken, New J...

What a way to celebrate the Fourth! I’m thinking we ought to make The Social Contract an Independence Day tradition—along with fireworks and cookouts, of course. Now, if you thought Donnie’s cake shenanigans at the OLPQ Pee Wee baseball game in Part One were something, just wait until you find out what he’s up to Part Two. And a little later in the episode, I’ll be talking with The Artist CLEO abo...

In our last episode, during my conversation with CLEO, I mentioned the paperback release of George and CLEO’s Presidential Conversations for Kids . That book was released earlier this year and contains George’s reflections on the November 2024 election. For this episode, George kindly granted us permission to share the book’s updated Author Afterword. I think we’d be remiss not to include it here,...

At the end of last episode, Yael the Cake Pop Baker had just pulled up to CLEO’s Halloween Party. I can’t wait to find out what happens next. I’m sure you can’t either. So, here it is, the conclusion of Voting is R Superpower…

For many of you listening today, this may be the first time you’re hearing about Shirley Chisholm.  I cannot think of a better introduction to this giant. You’re in for a real treat!  Let’s listen to Kiddos R Groundbreakers, Part One…

I cannot believe we’ve already come to the season finale. I’ve been having so much fun. I hope you have too! Now, before we get to the conclusion of Kiddos R Groundbreakers, I am so excited to finally share my big announcement. Ready, kiddos? We’re getting a new Georgie and GiGi book! I think all those Fourth of July fireworks you’ll be seeing may just be in celebration of this very special news....

In our kickoff episode, Georgie and GiGi meet one very brave lady, Harriet Tubman. But first, they’ll once again encounter our 16th President, Abraham Lincoln. Unlike the version of Lincoln they met last season, this one is a young 28-year-old Illinois legislator.

The continuation of the Kids R Brave adventure!

Part I of Kids R Supreme!

The second half of Kids R Supreme!

Part I of Kids R Good!
