0:00.0 | Hi, welcome geniuses, explorers, and the curious, this is the Fun Kids Science Weekly. |
0:08.6 | My name is Dan, thank you so much for being there. Every week we take a quick spin around |
0:15.6 | the solar system. We're really the only podcast to take you all around the hidden spots |
0:19.8 | of the universe and get you back in under half an hour, I'd say. We leave no science |
