They whiz down mountains and swirl through the air and we are amazed by it all. So join us in celebrating the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympic Games! We're so excited to talk about the types of snow and ice sports (including this year's introduction of ski mountaineering!), when the Olympic Games take place, the difference between teams, pairs, and individual sports, medals, Olympic traditions, and more!

Football

Are you ready for some football?! In a celebration of this fun and fast team sport, we break down the difference between the offense and defense. How does one team score points and the other try to stop them? And what does the quarterback do? We talk plays, yardage, extra points, and quarters. Professional players are part of NFL teams and work hard to try to win the final game: The Super Bowl! But anyone can enjoy throwing a football and we hope you join us in enjoying and being inspired by this popular American game. We'd love to hear from you!

Bo Lu – Picture Book Author & Illustrator

Kara and T are huge fans of Bo Lu's debut picture book, Bao's Doll and we're honored to talk to her all about her work, creative process, and lifelong relationship with drawing. We also loved hearing from Bo's daughter Nora, who is herself a book creator! After moving to Kansas from Taipei, Taiwan when she was 7, drawing became a way for Bo to express her emotions and feel more at home. Her books are influenced by her life and experiences, a chance to tell her story. It was also fascinating to hear how many versions of a book there can be and how Bo puts a book together. Don't miss this fascinating, thoughtful discussion – a window into the heart and mind of an incredible creative spirit. We'd love to hear from you!
