What People Are Saying

“[Tinkercast]’s goal isn’t to complete a lesson plan but to encourage kids’ natural curiosity about the world around them.”

Common Sense Media

“From episode one, Wow in the World tapped straight into this thumping vein of modern parenting culture. The science was fresh and fact-checked. The jokes perfectly timed…”

The Washingtonian

“In a world where children and adults sometimes succumb to the lure of staring at a screen rather than talking, Wow in the World is one way to start a conversation.”

The Guardian

“On sick days when I had to work, long car rides, short car rides, rainy days, and those irrational “I’m borrrrred” spells, there’s never been a better way to distract, entertain, and ever-so-sneakily educate children, without a screen, than this silly, story-based podcast about scientific discoveries.”

She Knows

“[Mindy Thomas and Guy Raz’s] combined expertise helps Wow in the World hit that elusive sweet spot where it is truly fun and educational for all ages.

Financial Times

“Finding a podcast that both adults and children can enjoy in equal measure is often a tall order. However, Wow in the World strikes just the right balance between educating listeners and being a ton of fun to listen to.”
