You’re
Ducking
Great
Raise the bar, and level the playing field. That is the charter over this door. You’re Ducking Great teaches: language first, in both directions — English for Spanish speakers, Spanish for English speakers — then literacy, then the life-skills of a neighborhood: the forms, the benefits, the appointments, the work.
It begins with the founder’s own story. In the Bronx, he could not speak or comprehend Spanish, and support passed him by — he wishes that on no one. This school is that wish with an address: one big family, and nobody left outside the conversation.
The school is being built The founding text is in production — publishing target: January 2027, stated as a target.
A school is its classrooms. These are this house’s — and each one is marked honestly: what is on the air today says so, and what is still being prepared says that instead.
- LPOn air now · Mon–Fri 13:05
La Palabra del Campeón
English pronunciation for Spanish-speaking elders — one practical scene at a time: the pharmacy, the doctor, the supermarket, the bus, the school. Every episode carries the Founder’s Why.
- SOOn air now · Saturdays
Sound It Out!
Phonics and early reading for the young ones, worked through a parent or guardian — the children’s classroom, on Saturday mornings.
- ESIn preparation
Spanish for English Speakers
The mirror course — the founder’s own road: Spanish taught to the neighbors who never got it, in the same one-scene-at-a-time shape. Its workbook strand is in preparation; the classroom opens when it is ready, and not before.

The Reference Desk — Education Lane
Classes and learning help across the Bronx, listed only when verified against an official source and stamped with the date it was checked — the open library door, at the house’s Bronx reference desk.
- WBIn preparation
The Workbooks
The founding text is growing workbooks: Strand A — English for Spanish speakers, La Palabra on the page · Strand B — Spanish for English speakers · Strand C — Sound It Out! for the young ones. Lessons and practice pages, with the broadcast episodes as their audio track.
Graduation — the house’s promise
Finish a series here — attendance, not examinations, confirmed by the teacher of record — and the house honors the finishing: a printed certificate, a place on the graduates’ roll (your name, as you give it), and the duo themselves — the mascot pair, as drawn — placed in your hands. The roll opens with the first graduating class.
In preparation · Nothing to sign up for
A devotional for every day of the year
The Teaching House is preparing a daily devotional: a short reading, a reflection, and a closing prayer for each of the year’s days — carried in the voices of Mama Rise (Monday–Saturday) and Domingo (Sundays), at the top of the broadcast morning on Concrete Jungle Radio.
Each day’s entry also gathers, page by page, toward a printed You’re Ducking Great 365 — the year’s devotional as a book, published by this house when the year is whole.
Stated plainly: the 365 is in preparation. There is no start date to promise yet, nothing to sign up for, and nothing to buy. When it is ready, the house will announce it here — not before.
The face of the house
The Flock of Eight
The house has a face, and it is a flock: eight You’re Ducking Great mascot ducks — rubber ducks in sunglasses, each one wearing its own knitted beanie in its own color, each one standing on its own little lawn.
Eight mascots, eight colors, one name across every chest: You’re Ducking Great. The whole flock stands behind this house — and the pair at its front, the duo, are the honor placed in every graduate’s hands.
The Founding Text · Twenty chapters · Seven floors
The Founding Text
Every school stands on a story. This one stands on You’re Ducking Great — the first audio ebook by Arthur Brown: how a Bronx-based founder built a radio station and a media group from the ground up, told floor by floor, and the formula each level teaches. The book is built like the house it tells: enter at the ground floor, climb level by level, end on the roof. Every room below is a real chapter, honestly marked: the book is in production, so there are no players and no finished chapters to hear yet. What you can read today is the architecture — and the formula each chapter carries.
The teaching catalog — the courses, and the workbooks’ audio companions — is published by this house under one credit, the two chairs named as the two chairs they are: Published by the Teaching House · Distributed through Too Lost / Summit Tunes.
Who reads it — stated plainly
Written by Arthur Brown. The ground floor and the author’s note are read in the author’s own voice. The five levels above it are narrated in the house voice of Emperor Baoyu — credited here in the open, because this house never sells you a voice it isn’t.

Lane one · Production funding
Fund the ISBN
There’s exactly one real cost standing between the manuscript and your ears: the ISBN — $125. Not a dime more is being asked. Everything else about this book is already covered in-house: the voice, the recording, the production.
The Cash App Pool is open now — Audio book Production - Siw’eL Tunes — goal $125, for the ISBN only.
Fund the ISBN — Cash App PoolThis Pool is production funding only — it is not a pre-order and doesn’t reserve a copy. And the standing condition, on the record from day one: if the distribution route decided November 9–13 turns out to need no ISBN, the Pool closes and every contributor is told where their money went.
Give if you can. Share either way. — Siw’eL Tunes
Lane two · A separate lane from the Pool
Pre-order the Book
$5 now + $5 on publication = $10 total.
The pre-order is its own lane, kept separate from the Pool on purpose: the Pool funds the ISBN; a pre-order reserves your copy. Pre-order through Cash App to $siweltunes and put “Ducking Great pre-order” in the note — that note is how your copy is counted.
Pre-order — $5 now via Cash App $siweltunesPublishing target: January 2027 — stated as a target, not a promise date. The second $5 falls due on publication, and not before.

How ordering works
How ordering works
Start the order from this door — use a “Start an order” link above, or write to the desk. The desk confirms stock, holds it, and sends you the order number + the exact total. Only then do you pay: Cash App $siweltunes, with the ORDER NUMBER in the Cash App note — never pay before the desk issues the number.
Fulfillment: Bronx pickup is free · or shipping by USPS flat rate $9.21, buyer-paid.
Honestly stated: some catalog items are not yet orderable — pieces with no recorded condition, and character plush held for an authenticity check. The desk says so before any money moves.
