Wonder World Podcast Week of June 19

Published on: 19th June, 2023

In this episode, we dive into various fascinating topics, from Juneteenth, to the beloved Garfield the Cat and the colorful world of pasta. We explore the significance of Juneteenth, its historical background, and its importance in commemorating the end of slavery. We also discuss National Pink Day and share our favorite colors (spoiler alert: Olivia loves pink!).

Join us as we pay homage to Jim Davis, the creative genius behind the iconic comic strip Garfield. And if you're a foodie, you're in for a treat! We uncover the origins of lasagna and explore its countless variations. Ever wondered why noodles change texture when cooked? We've got the answer! Plus, we challenge you with some pasta trivia.

Enjoy the warm and witty banter, filled with fun facts, word of the week, poetry, and laughter. If you enjoy the Wonder World Podcast, we'd love it if you could leave a review on your favorite podcast platform.
