Wonder World Podcast Monday, August 12th

Published on: 12th August, 2024

Hey Wonderworld listeners! Pam and Olivia here, and we have another awesome episode lined up for you. It's the second week of August and we're diving in with a mix of fun holidays, cool facts, and jokes. 

Mark your calendars for August 12th because it’s National Middle Child Day. Perfect day to give that middle sibling a shout-out (and maybe some ice cream too)! We’re also celebrating a bunch of quirky holidays on August 14th like Falklands Day, Creamsicle Day, World Lizard Day, and Love Your Bookshop Day. August 18th has us cracking up with Bad Poetry Day and whipping up some Ice Cream Pies. Yum!

We have birthday shoutouts to our Wonder World Kids Club members and of course, we have listener-submitted jokes and a quick trivia question about the first sewing needles. As always, we’ve sprinkled in some classic storytelling. This time, it’s the timeless tale of the Three Little Pigs. Perfect for a cozy bedtime story or a lesson on perseverance and clever thinking.

So, gather the family, hit play, and let Wonderworld take you on another awesome adventure. Until next time, keep wondering! here
