After many car rides filled with episodes of the Stuff You Should Know podcast with the famous Chuck and Josh, Kai said, "Hey, we should make our own podcast!" Being fresh unschoolers ourselves, we decided to dive right in and start exploring topics of Kai's interest. Each episode is a different interest of Kai's. We figure out what we already know, research and answer our questions using the library, YouTube, museums, and the internet. Then we organize our findings and present them to you! Feel free to contact us at unschoolingwithkai@gmail.com with any feedback or episode suggestions.

Do preying mantises live through winter?
The short answer? No. And Yes. Tricky, huh? Guess you’ll have to listen to the episode to learn more about the ootheca, the mantid life cycle, and some unrelated updates on pathogens, antigens, and black holes!

Why do we get achy when sick?
We dive into an interesting discussion about the immune system’s role in collateral damage (AKA pain) to our body. We highly recommend you check out Philip Dettmer’s book called Immune or the Kurzgesagt channel to dig deeper into our body’s immune system.

So cool!!
I just found this podcast and I’m one episode in, but I’m all about this. My 7 year old and I have dove into unschooling this past year and we are having the time of our lives! Keep inspiring us, Dan and Kai!
