Our Editor's Take

The world is full of wonder. This podcast is an exciting way for listeners between ages 5 and 12 to discover fascinating and surprising phenomena. Wow In the World is here to help illuminate the wonders of science, technology, discovery, and inventions. It's as exciting as it is educational.

Mindy Thomas is the cocreator, cohost, and head writer of Wow In the World. She believes that children thrive at the intersection of imagination and curiosity. She created this podcast to engage curious kids at this level. Her costar, Guy Raz, is a journalist, correspondent, and radio host. The New York Times has described him as “one of the most popular podcasters in history.” Together, they host the show and create a delightful and engaging listening experience.

The show features a few different episode formats, including “WeWow” and “Two Whats?! And A Wow!” All are jam-packed full of information that will make children want to listen again and again. The duo guides listeners through shows that combine careful scientific research and fun. The show covers topics such as mysterious planets and looks into facts about time. This podcast is a great way to reduce screen time while learning interesting, fun things. Adults will enjoy it as much as the kids do.
