In this Postcard from Earth, Flip sends a letter home about a truly horrifying discovery... While visiting a place humans call a "carnival" (or sometimes a "fair"), Flip and Mozi stumble into what Flip is certain is an elaborate Earthling punishment colony. Why are humans voluntarily climbing aboard terrifying machines that fling them through the air? Why do they scream the entire time, only to stand in line and do it all over again? And perhaps most baffling of all... why are they eating fluffy fabric on sticks called "cotton candy"? What begins as a simple outing quickly becomes another wonderfully confusing Earth mystery.This hilarious alien correspondence is packed with laugh-out-loud misunderstandings and the delightfully upside-down perspective that only Flip & Mozi can deliver. As Mozi eagerly embraces every dizzying ride and carnival game, Flip becomes increasingly convinced that Earthlings have invented the galaxy's most elaborate form of recreational terror. Along the way, they discover that sometimes screaming doesn't always mean someone is in danger.Along the way, Flip and Mozi marvel at gravity-defying roller coasters, puzzle over spinning rides, towering Ferris wheels, and mysterious carnival treats, and debate why humans seem to enjoy being scared on purpose. Between Flip's growing panic and Mozi's unstoppable excitement, this Earthling encounter is full of curiosity, comedy, and plenty of topsy-turvy surprises. It's the kind of adventure that makes one of Earth's favorite traditions seem hilariously extraordinary.Flip & Mozi is the hit podcast from Tinkercast, the creators of Wow in the World, featuring original music from Grammy-nominated artists The Pop Ups.

Cats may be famous for chasing mice, but did you know they actually have a rather refined palate? In this purr-fectly hilarious episode of Wow in the World, Mindy and Guy Raz step into the busiest cat café ever created to uncover the surprising science behind why our feline friends go absolutely bonkerballs for tuna! From roller-skating waiters to mushy tuna bowls, this adventure is packed with outrageous restaurant chaos, fascinating taste science, and a dining room full of very hungry cats!When Mindy opens the doors to Tuna Time, her brand-new tuna-themed diner for neighborhood cats, business is booming! As plates of sloppy tuna fly out of the kitchen and cats keep asking for refills, Mindy reveals that the menu is inspired by a fascinating new scientific discovery about why cats find tuna so irresistibly delicious.Kids and families will sink their teeth into remarkable research published in the journal Chemical Senses, where scientists investigated how cats experience the savory taste known as umami—often described as the "essence of deliciousness." By studying feline taste receptors, the researchers discovered that cats receive an especially powerful umami boost from amino acids found in foods like tuna, making these flavors incredibly appealing. The episode also explores how this differs from the way humans experience umami, why cats can't taste sweetness the way we can, and how scientists hope these discoveries could help create tastier cat food—and even medicines that picky cats will actually want to eat.Packed with laugh-out-loud restaurant disasters, surprising animal biology, delicious food science, and plenty of feline fun, this episode serves up an unforgettable helping of curiosity while showing how understanding the senses of animals can lead to healthier, happier pets.✨ Don't miss the chance to explore even further with Wow in the World:Grownups can visit tinkercast.com/join-twaaw to join the World Organization of Wowzers (WOW) and unlock exclusive activities, birthday cards, quarterly mailings, first dibs at events, and a welcome kit with an autographed photo of Mindy & Guy Raz!

Order in the court! Has science finally solved one of the biggest mysteries in the ocean... or is the jury still out? In this laugh-out-loud shark-tastic episode of Wow in the World, it's Judge Razzy's courtroom... where outrageous objections, surprise witnesses, and one very confused bailiff all collide in a hilarious trial to answer an incredible scientific question: Has the world's first baby great white shark been caught on camera in the wild?Behind all the courtroom chaos is a real scientific mystery that has fascinated marine biologists for decades. Kids and families will dive into the fascinating research sparked by wildlife filmmaker Carlos Gauna and biologist Phillip Sternes, whose extraordinary 2023 footage captured a completely white great white shark swimming off the coast of California. Could the shark's unusual color be evidence that it had just been born and was still covered by its nutrient-rich embryonic layer? The episode explores how baby great white sharks develop before birth, why scientists have never definitively identified a great white shark nursery, and how nearby sightings of pregnant sharks may offer exciting clues. Listeners will also discover why many scientists remain unconvinced—and how healthy scientific debate, careful observation, and collecting more evidence are essential parts of making new discoveries.Packed with hilarious courtroom comedy, surprising shark biology, scientific detective work, and plenty of unexpected twists, this episode celebrates one of the coolest things about science: sometimes the biggest breakthroughs don't answer every question—they inspire even more incredible ones.✨ Don't miss the chance to explore even further with Wow in the World:Grownups can visit tinkercast.com/join-twaaw to join the World Organization of Wowzers (WOW) and unlock exclusive activities, birthday cards, quarterly mailings, first dibs at events, and a welcome kit with an autographed photo of Mindy & Guy Raz!

We all woke up to stunning news Sunday with the sudden passing of long time South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham.  President Trump said he had just spoken with the Senator, who had just returned from Ukraine, and that Graham sounded tired.  Washington reacted to a man that even many democrats respected and liked.    Meanwhile, Trump issues a harrowing threat to Iran of what will transpire if Trump is assassinated.  And he's not kidding.    Argentina needed some drama in the 112th minute of its match Saturday night against Switzerland to advance to the World Cup Final Four.    The Royals select a right handed hitting outfielder from Louisville with the #6 pick overall in the MLB draft.  He's the third #6 overall in Royals history... the other two worked out really well.   And Stan Weber joins us after going to Big 12 Media Days last week and our focus is the upcoming season for the Kansas Jayhawks.  This is a make or break year for 6th year coach Lance Leipold.

In this tail-wagging, brain-boosting, and totally paw-some episode of Wow in the World, Mindy, Guy Raz, and the WOW crew dive into the surprising science of label learning! At the Dog Vocab World Championship, label learning takes center stage as some of the smartest pups on the planet show off their incredible memories. And as Mindy and Guy discover, label learning might help explain how dog vocabulary works and why dog vocabulary in certain dogs can be way more impressive than you'd ever expect!When Mindy and Guy Raz arrive at a giant stadium to commentate the annual Dog Vocab World Championship, Mindy is mostly focused on one thing: finding a snack. Unfortunately for her, she ends up in the dog toy line instead of concessions and barely has time to figure out what's happening before she and Guy are rushed on air. Once the lights go up and the crowd starts barking, cheering, and howling, Mindy realizes this is no ordinary dog show. This is a high-stakes battle of memory, focus, and fetch.The competitors? A trio of elite canine superstars: the polished Professor Lex, the rebellious fan-favorite Noodle, and the reigning champion Banjo. One by one, the dogs are asked to retrieve specific toys from a big pile on stage, including avocado, monkey, racecar, airplane, and more. To win, each dog must remember which word belongs to which toy and fetch the correct one without making a mistake. It's like a spelling bee, a memory game, and a sporting event all rolled into one very fluffy package.But amid all the excitement, Mindy and Guy uncover the real WOW: a fascinating new scientific study from researchers in Budapest suggests that some dogs may not only learn words through direct teaching, but also by simply overhearing humans talk to one another. That means a dog might be able to learn the name of a toy even when no one is talking to the dog directly! In the study, researchers worked with special dogs that already knew lots of toy names. Then, instead of repeatedly teaching a new word face-to-face, the dog's owner and another person casually talked about the toy together while the dog watched and listened. Later, many of the dogs were able to fetch the correct toy, proving they had learned the word just by overhearing it.Scientists call this process label learning: understanding that a word belongs to a specific object. It's something human babies do too, by listening to the people around them talk. And it turns out some dogs, especially highly attentive breeds like Border Collies, may be able to do something surprisingly similar. That makes these pups true outliers in the animal kingdom, with some dogs able to recognize hundreds, and in rare cases even over a thousand, words.With live commentary, dramatic toy fetches, barks from the crowd, and an unforgettable championship showdown, this episode is packed with laughs, suspense, and an incredible look at how dogs learn.
