| 0:00.0 | Hello, everyone. I'm Cressida Cowell, author of How to Train Your Dragon, and I'm just popping |
| 0:04.4 | in to tell you about my new book series, Witchway to Anywhere. It's a story about four children |
| 0:10.0 | who discover that there are alternative worlds beyond our own, and that they can travel to them |
| 0:15.3 | with the help of a magical map and a very special gift. Of course, this leads to epic, unexpected |
| 0:21.9 | adventures. Witchway to Anywhere, and its sequel, Witchway Round the Galaxy, are both available |
| 0:27.5 | to buy now. Happy reading! Hello, welcome along to a brand new episode of The Fun Kids Science |
| 0:35.3 | Weekly. My name is Dan. Thank you for finding us, for following, for listening. This is the |

| 0:48.8 | The way your voice can be sent to space as part of a radio show that will travel forever |

| 1:20.3 | have just on our own planet are incredibly varied, incredibly diverse. So, who knows, the universe |
| 1:27.6 | is even more diverse than just what we find on our own planet, so maybe life out there is as well. |
| 1:32.8 | Also, we'll catch up with Karina and her superhero, All to Ego K Mystery. This week Karina is |
| 1:39.2 | learning how she can make a difference using science with climate change. Now, whenever you're not |
| 1:46.4 | using the TV, computer or video game console, switch them off. Don't just leave them on standby. |
| 1:54.4 | And we'll have your questions as always. This week they're on steam and laying eggs. |
