Herein lies an audio time capsule! Andrew & Polly asked their friends to collect audio of their expectations for, experience of, and reflections on The Great American Eclipse of August 21, 2017. If you listen to Ear Snacks, please take our quick survey: bit.ly/earsnacks-survey We heard from three kids who were in the Path of Totality (Morgan in Oregon, Anika in Wyoming, and Elion in Nebraska) as well as kids in Southern California (Alex, Izzy, Lilah, Griffin and Gertie)who saw about 62% and Virginia (Elsa) who saw 80%. And longtime Ear Snacks veteran Gavin interviewed his mom Theana about a total solar eclipse she saw growing up on the big island of Hawaii. Thanks so much to all the adventurous parents (Mike, Bryce, Jon, Kimmy, Tristan, and Inga) that made this happen. Aloha Eclipse, see you in 2045!
Hey! What do you think of Ear Snacks? We need to know! We’re gearing up for Season 2 and want to make our episodes even better. Let us know – how are you listening? Why are you listening? When are you listening? Where are you listening? How many grapes have you eaten today? If you have a few minutes to answer some questions for us, we would GRAPELY appreciate it. The survey is here: http://bit.ly/earsnacks-survey Thank you! Andrew & Polly
Are you ready? Are you excited? Because we TOTALLY ARE. The Great American Eclipse is almost here, and we’ve been thinking about it for a whole year…but some people have known about it MUCH LONGER. Mat Kaplan from the Planetary Society told us about it last year, Molly Bloom from Brains On tells us about total eclipse science, and Mick Sullivan from The Past & The Curious talks total eclipse history through the ages. Oh, and our friend Kimmy? She tells us about her eclipse viewing plans. That she made 20 years ago. In Eclipse! (Part II) we’ll be sharing an audio time capsule recorded on August 21, 2017. If your family will be in the Path of Totality, email us at earsnacks@andrewandpolly.com and we’ll let you know how you can participate and share this once-in-a-lifetime experience!
Oye my friends! Can you hear the sound of the weekend? Andrew & Polly discuss ice cream, paletas, and “Paletero Man” – a song they wrote with Lucky Diaz featured on his new record, “Made in L.A.” Billboard magazine says “Lucky Diaz’s Bilingual Summer Song ‘Paletero Man’ Is an Immigrant Anthem For Kids” so, that’s cool! Lyric video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbPfQSwvcxg
Music for staring out windows. Andrew & Polly have spent the past two years writing original underscores for their interviews with scientists, artists, and kids. We thought removing the interviews and just leaving the instrumentals would leave a lot to the imagination. We find the window panes of planes, trains, and automobiles to merit their own soundtrack, so here it is.
Hit the Road! An awesome playlist of songs (from our friends!) about traveling around town, around the world, or around the solar system in your imagination. Buckle up, tune in, rock and roll! “Trail of Hearts” by Underbirds (Gustafer Yellowgold & Todd McHatton) ; “Lighten Your Load” by The Okee Dokee Brothers ; “Sunshine Family” by Mista Cookie Jar & Aaron Nigel Smith ; “Camp Songs” by KB Whirly ; “Mr. Spaceman” by Randy Kaplan ; “City of Hills” by Frances England ; and “Hey Hat” by us, Andrew & Polly. Thanks so much to our amazing musician friends for sharing these eclectic tunes with hungry ears everywhere! Find more awesome family podcasts to #hittheroad with at app.kidslisten.org
June is Aquarium Appreciation Month! Do YOU appreciate aquariums? We do! Andrew & Polly talk biodiversity with 7-year-old Nate from The Show About Science, marine camouflage with nudibranch aficionado Rebecca Johnson from Cal Academy, and seahorses with Jenn (who just likes them a lot.) We appreciate The Monterey Bay Aquarium, The Shedd, Aquarium of the Bay and The California Academy of Science, and so many more. Plus aquarium joke.
We have dads. And they know some stuff. So we asked them about it! Andrew & Polly celebrate Father’s Day by asking their dads to dadsplain two of their favorite topics: hats and The Galapagos. (Plus why it’s an extra special Father’s Day for Andrew!)
