"The Past and The Curious"
History can be wild! From big leaps to bigger flops, "The Past And the Curious "has spent the last decade engaging audiences with people, places, animals, food and toys of the past. Host and author Mick Sullivan’s live shows include all of this, plus laughs, multi-media, music and some good old-fashioned silliness. He’ll cover the history of toys, some historical and surprising animals from his upcoming book and plenty more.
Radiolab for Kids Presents: “Terrestrials”
“Terrestrials” is a show for people of all ages that explores the strangeness that exists right here on Earth. In each episode, host Lulu Miller (co-host of “Radiolab”) will introduce you to a creature or earthly phenomenon that will defy your expectations of how nature is supposed to work. We cover a range of stories from stumps to sharks to arctic squirrels. Along the way, you'll encounter a chorus of experts, including scientists, surfers, hip hop artists and…a "Songbud" named Alan (indie punk musician Alan Goffinski) who creates original songs for key moments of confusion, discovery or awe.
