❄️ Episode 33: ICE AGE 🦣

Did you know we’re still in an Ice Age today??

Last season, we discovered Aria knew very little about the Ice Age…so naturally, we had to make it an episode!

Josh, Aria & Austin dive into Earth’s long-term climate cycles & what life was actually like during the Ice Age. What animals roamed the frozen landscape? How did early humans adapt and innovate to survive? What lasting marks did massive glaciers leave on the world we know today? And what about mini ice ages??

From woolly mammoths & human survival to glaciers that reshaped the planet, we’re heading way back in time for this one 🧊🌎

🇺🇸 EPISODE 32: 9/11 MEMORIAL & MUSEUM

🎙️Season 2 begins with a powerful conversation. In recognition of the 25th anniversary of September 11th, Josh & Aria revisit the topic from Episodes 3 & 4…this time after visiting the 9/11 Memorial & Museum in New York City together.

They discuss what they learned, what it felt like to physically stand at the site, & why the museum left such a lasting impression. They also explore how the site today manages to be a moving memorial while functioning as an active neighborhood, transportation hub, & major part of NYC.

One year later and one year older, Josh & Aria return to one of the most important topics they’ve ever discussed.

**Parental discretion advised. A great way for kids to understand the events of 9/11 from a 9 year old, but only if they’re ready for this topic**
