Tinkercast | Wondery

Wow in the World is the #1 science podcast for kids and families, sharing the most amazing stories in science, technology, and new discoveries happening in the world around us. 

Each week, join hosts Mindy Thomas and Guy Raz as they take curious kids and their grown-ups on a cartoon for the ear journey filled with laughter, adventure, and wow-worthy stories. From the tiniest microbes to the farthest reaches of space, every episode of Wow in the World inspires wonder, fuels imagination, and makes science fun for the whole family. 

New episodes of Wow in the World come out every Monday for free! Plus, each week listeners get even more opportunities to say WOW with two other shows: Two Whats?! And A WOW!, a science-based game show, and WeWow, a rewatch, or should we say relisten, behind-the-scenes talk show hosted by our World Organization of Wowzers president, Dennis, featuring YOUR comments, reviews, and messages!

Wow in the World

What’s red, rocky, and ready for visitors… in the not-so-distant future? MARS! When Mindy drifts off to sleep, her dreams blast off to outer space—and who’s waiting to greet her on the dusty Martian surface? None other than Emily “The Space Gal” Calandrelli, fresh off her real-life journey as the 100th woman in space! Together, they explore Mars like future astronauts might—growing food, bouncing through its low gravity, and imagining what it would take to actually live there someday. Is life on Mars really possible, or is it only a dream? And what does space travel look like for the next generation of explorers? It’s the WHO, WHEN, WHERE, WHY, HOW, AND WOW in the world of a future on Mars!
