Did you know microwaves were created by accident?

How about that in some of the first playgrounds?

You could be pulled around in a cart by a real goat.

I'm Joy Dolor, host of Forevergo, a history show for the whole family.

Every episode looks into the surprising and fascinating history of things we think are ordinary, but they're not.

Make learning about the past and microwaves fun and follow Forevergo where you get your podcasts.

Hi friends, before we dive into today's episode, I want to encourage you to check out our Kids Poetry Special on the Slowdown.

We made five fabulous episodes featuring cool young poets, word games, and awesome conversation with award-winning author and host, Major Jackson.

The episodes started on May 8th and ran until May 12th, and you can find them by searching for the Slowdown wherever you get your podcasts.

We had a blast learning from kids who write, rhyme, and sing about their lives, and we think you will too.

Again, search for the Slowdown wherever you listen to podcasts.

From the brains behind brains on, it's Smash Boom Best.

The show for people with big opinions.

I'm Molly Blume, and this is Smash Boom Best, where we take two things, smash them together, and ask you to decide which one is best.

Today, we've got a futuristic face-off between two things that fascinate and frighten us humans.

They're the subject of sci-fi and of real-life science. It's aliens versus robots.

I think that aliens are cooler.

Robots, they do my work for me.

Aliens are better because they haven't been found yet.

Robots, they can do so many things. They're definitely cooler than aliens.

I really want to meet an alien sometime in my lifetime, and I already know many robots.

Robots would win because we don't really know if aliens exist.
