| 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. It's the universe's favorite podcast. This is |
| 0:34.4 | The Fun Kids Science Weekly. My name is Dan. Thank you for being there. It's the part of the week |
| 0:42.4 | where we scour the universe. We search through the solar system finding all the best science secrets |
| 0:48.5 | lurking around. Now this week we'll head back to the age of the dinosaurs. We'll take a look at |
| 0:53.6 | how all the creatures lived, somewhere in their herds with mates and others roamed the |
| 0:59.9 | critatious period alone. Uh oh, let's hide. We've got company. Don't panic. It's a herd of iguana |

| 1:16.1 | The Adam Project. It's about a dude from the future who heads back to the present to meet his |
| 1:21.2 | past self. Get your head around that. Now inspired by that, we'll chat to a futurologist. |
| 1:27.7 | Someone who knows what might the world be like in 50 years time. I think in 2052 it's very likely |
| 1:36.6 | we will have pod systems where you've got very simple pods being driven on smart infrastructure. So |
| 1:42.8 | you're the very, very cheap, probably a couple of thousand dollars a pod and they'll just float |
| 1:47.7 | along on magnetic linear induction mats or something like that. They might not even have wheels |
| 1:52.6 | because you can levitate them. And I've got your questions as always this week they're on water |
| 1:58.1 | and birds. So lots on the way stick around. It's a brand new fun kid science weekly. |
| 2:03.9 | Right, let's kick off the show with this week's science in the news. |
