Episode 64
Wonder World Podcast Monday, June 24
Hey there, Wonder World listeners! Olivia and Pam here, and do you know what today is? It’s June 24th, and we’re headed into the third week of June! This week boasts some pretty quirky celebrations like Watermelon Seed Spitting Day on June 27th and Paul Bunyan Day on June 28th. Ever tried spitting watermelon seeds? It's a skill we might be losing thanks to seedless watermelons! June 29th is International Day of the Tropics—who wouldn't love a family trip to the tropics? And rounding off the month, June 30th is Corvette Day and Log Cabin Day. We even questioned the historical significance behind Corvette Day—was that the day the iconic car was invented?
Our hosts also share fascinating historical tidbits, including the first demonstration of color television and the invention of the snowmobile. And don't miss out on this week's trivia question: What is the only place on Earth where the sun sometimes shines straight down? The answer might surprise you!
Plus, we celebrate famous birthdays and give a shout-out to our Wonder World Kids Club members. Listen out for silly jokes from kids just like you, and discover a fun new word to add to your vocabulary: malarkey.
Gather the whole family and hit play. It's time to let Wonder World whisk you away into another fun-filled episode. See you there!
