Have you ever stepped onto an escalator and wondered where the steps go when they disappear? Today on Curious Kids Every Day, we’re taking a ride beneath the surface to find out how these moving staircases actually work. From the loop of connected steps to the motors and gears that keep everything in motion, we’ll explore the complicated system behind a simple step-on, step-off ride.

Curious Kids Every Day is a daily, interactive podcast that respects your child’s intelligence and curiosity. Each episode is designed to stretch young attention spans with thoughtful questions, playful learning, and engaging games. I created this to be a show I would be happy to have my kids listen to.
