Wonder World Podcast Monday, September 9

Published on: 9th September, 2024

In episode 74 of the Wonder World podcast, Pam and Olivia kick off the first week of September with a lineup of quirky and fun celebrations! Whether you're into bacon, hummingbirds, or even blueberry popsicles, there's something to make you smile every day.

They also share some cool history, like the Great Fire of London and the invention of the very first ATM. Plus, you’ll get to learn the word of the week, "tardy," and take a guess at what makes people late the most. Spoiler: it's not just oversleeping!

The episode wraps up with a lovely poem by Helen Hunt Jackson, capturing the beauty of September, and an invitation for all you kiddos to share your best jokes on the podcast.
