  • Saved out Road Trip

    I subscribed to this podcast years ago but today’s road trip is when I finally listened to the podcast with my kiddos. They loved it, and so did I !

    We drove for 10+ hours. My ten year old wanted to listen to the stories Tess told rather than go and play Roblox. Thank you!

  • Lake Okanagan and Kelowna

    The episode was okay. Mildly entertaining and informative but honestly the reader needs to take the time to learn how to properly pronounce the places they are talking about. It’s Lake oh-kuh-NAH-gun and kuh-LOH-nuh. It was supremely distracting as she butchered those names throughout. 3 out of 5 for entertainment value and information minus a star for the butchering.

  • Love the sense of wonder!

    My 8 and 4 year old love this podcast. Sometimes it is a little scary for the 4 year old but not really (like Rosie the Shark, when we decided to look up the creepy pictures, haha!) Love how the creator shares why something is important or cool or what it means about the broader world. Please keep these episodes coming! :)
