Welcome to Episode 17 of Season 7 everyone! Everything Under The Sun has been nominated for Best British Podcast in the kids category, has moved to Bali, Indonesia, and the paperback book of Everything Under The Sun is OUT NOW!!



This week we have a very special episode featuring questions I’ve been collecting here in Bali! It’s been fantastic hearing so many curious thoughts and clever ideas, so thank you to everyone who’s shared them with me.



First off, we’ve got a brilliant question from Grade 1 at Green School: can animals laugh? We learn all about our furry friends who like to chuckle.



Next we’ve got a great question from Bei, who’s in Grade 4 at Green School here in Bali: why do sperm whales sleep vertically? Dr Felix Marx from Te Papa Museum of Natural History in Wellington, New Zealand answers this one, as he’s a whale expert!



And lastly, a question from Ava, who I met at my local children’s bookshop in Bali, called Si Kecil: why do people say cats have nine lives? We find out all about the amazing resilience of daredevil cats.



Happy listening everyone!

Welcome to Episode 16 of Season 7 everyone! Everything Under The Sun has been nominated for Best British Podcast in the kids category, has moved to Bali, Indonesia, and the paperback book of Everything Under The Sun is OUT NOW!!



This week we have three fascinating questions about our weird and wonderful universe! So get your space helmets on... we're taking a trip through the Solar System!



How did the milky way form? Jim Al-Khalili answers this one. He is a theoretical physicist with his own radio show called The Life Scientific! 



Why is there no gravity on space? We find out all about the very important force of gravity, and how it works in space (spoiler alert: there IS gravity in space!).



Why is Earth called Earth? Ever wondered how our beautiful little planet got its name? We trace Earth's name all the way back to hundreds of years ago.
