Dive into the curious world with your hosts, Pam and Olivia, on this week's episode of the Wonder World Podcast.

Engage in a vibrant blend of facts, trivia, and humor as we celebrate significant days in August across the globe, including National Catfish Month and National Middle Child Day.

We explore pivotal historical moments, delve into the wonders of architecture from the Leaning Tower of Pisa to the Sistine Chapel, and ponder the mysteries of Alcatraz Prison. We weave in tantalizing trivia, the science behind frozen custard, and explore birth order theory.

We also embark on a month-long storytelling journey with the Brothers Grimm. Join us for a whirlwind of knowledge, laughter, and the joy of shared learning.
