Listen to episode one hereA calm bedtime episode about sea otters, paced gently to help a child fall asleep.
Tonight's episode travels out to the Pacific Ocean, where sea otters float on their backs at the surface, rising and lowering with the water as waves pass beneath them. Their fur holds hundreds of millions of tightly packed hairs, and the tiny pockets of air trapped between those hairs are what keep them warm in the cold ocean.
The episode follows one otter as it dives to the seafloor, carries a favorite stone in a built-in pocket of skin under its arm, and floats in the kelp while the ocean does the holding. A group of resting otters is called a raft. Some details stay with you.
One voice. Real science. No music, no effects, no screen required. Works as well on the fifth night as the first. Parents often drift off first.
