Escondido, CA -- November 15, 2007 - A new, free podcast starring Marlene Balbach, creator of the P.T. (Possibility Thinker) Character Doll, tells parents how a toy can encourage and motivate their kids.
 
"I decided to record a podcast to help me explain what P.T., Possibility Thinker, is and why people who buy him say that this little character changes their lives and relationships for the better," Balbach says.  "P.T. is a wonderful way for parents to teach their children how to deal with life's challenges and struggles by thinking about the possibilities instead of giving in to despair."
   
During the podcast, Balbach talks to journalist Ronnie Loaiza about P.T.'s unique message.
  
"P.T." is a character doll with a wonderfully unique heart-shaped flap over its heart and when you open the flap, you reveal a personal message," Balbach said.  "The message can be a learning tool for children, a wish for a special occasion, a congratulatory or motivational ditty for a student, or just a love note for a special person."

You can pick one of 40 inspirational and encouraging messages from a list on the Possibility Thinker web site www.ptthinker.com.   

The "P.T. Podcast  is available for free downloading on iTunes and for streaming at the P.T. web site, www.ptthinker.com, and other Podcast sites with search words: dolls, possibility thinking, motivational, inspirational, toys.

Balbach, who battles Multiple Sclerosis, created P.T. to inspire others not to give up when faced with life's challenges.  She is donating part of the proceeds from sales of the Possibility Thinker Character Doll to children's charities and to the fight against Multiple Sclerosis. She also offers a "Cammy" P.T. - dressed in camouflage gear --  to give to a military child or spouse, with the special message of 'You are my Hero' or 'You are Our Hero'.

Loaiza is a professional broadcast journalist, who has extensive national and local TV and radio news experience.  She currently edits and anchors for the top news and talk station in the Los Angeles market.
