What do bow-ties, canned laughter, and gratitude for our audience of Wowzers have in common? This episode of WeWow, the bonkerballs variety show for kids and families from the creators of Wow in the World, has all of that and more. Dennis and Reggie are back with another weekend full of laughs, listener love, and a laughter science encore episode that'll have the whole family talking all over again. Whether you're a longtime Wowzer or just tuning in, WeWow on the Weekend is the kind of family variety podcast that makes every car ride, breakfast table, and slow Sunday morning a little more wow-worthy.

This week, Dennis and Reggie perform the first of their heartfelt thank-yous to the Wowzers who helped “Keep Us Wowing” earlier this year! And if that's not enough, WeWow on the Weekend wraps up with a fan-favorite encore of "Laughter In A Can: How Our Brains Interpret Funny Business" from Wow in the World—a laughter science episode packed with big ideas, bigger laughs, and the kind of curiosity that makes the whole family lean in.

"Laughter In A Can: How Our Brains Interpret Funny Business" originally aired on March 30th, 2020, and explores how our brains interpret laughter… both genuine, and “canned!” Dennis and Reggie revisit all the wow-worthy moments and bring their signature bonkerballs energy to a topic that's equal parts wild, important, and totally fascinating.

WeWow on the Weekend is part of the Tinkercast family of podcasts, created by the award-winning team behind the #1 science podcast for kids and families, Wow in the World. Every weekend, Dennis and his co-host Reggie answer listener questions, respond to fan reviews, play games, and celebrate the best moments from across the Tinkercast universe. It's a talk, talk, talk show unlike any other — and it's always better when YOU'RE part of it.
