Say What?! is the funny kids news podcast for curious kids ages 5 to 10, made for the morning school run, family car rides, and bedtime giggles, where three real, strange, true stories get the absurd comedy treatment.
Today on Say What?!: a man in China rides a motorcycle with skis and paddle wheels 25 miles across a river for a new world record, seventeen years after falling in the water four times on his first try. A library in Los Angeles turns 100 and builds the biggest pop-up book in the world, as heavy as a horse, so big that it takes ten to twelve people to turn one page. And scientists on the island of Mauritius discover a brand new spider that lives by the sea and shuts a secret trapdoor made of silk, sand, and seaweed whenever the tide comes in.
