Hello and welcome back to the Curious Kid podcast. Welcome explorers, gather around. Curious questions are about to be found. The mics are on and we are ready. Your hosts are here and their voices are steady.

From ocean so deep, the voices are steady. From oceans so deep to stars

shining bright, from buzzing bees to rockets in flight, we travel the world without leaving

your seat with facts and surprises that are hard to beat. Why do volcanoes rumble and roar? How do

airplanes stay up in the air and soar? Why do some animals sleep all winter long? And why do some birds sing such a beautiful song?

Every episode opens a brand new door to mysteries, wonders, and learning galore. We laugh, we imagine, we wonder out loud, because being

curious makes us all proud. So tighten your thinking cap, get ready to go. There's a whole lot of

amazing things waiting to know. With questions to ask and discoveries to make, adventure and learning are both at stake.

So kids and grownups, listen and type.

Your curiosity is about to take flight.

It's time to explore, discover, and see.
