Tumble Science Podcast for Kids

Where Brains On! is a variety show, Tumble is a story about how we know what we know. Science journalist Lindsay Patterson and teacher Marshall Escamilla tell the stories behind scientific discoveries with the help of working scientists, so kids hear not just the answer but how someone went looking for it. That is the habit worth building on a long drive. Recent episodes ask whether dogs can talk and explore the science of nightmares, and mailbag episodes take listener questions such as how Mars formed. It is gentler than most of the field, which makes it a good choice when the driver needs a calmer car.
