Happy November, neighbor!
Hello, Planeteers! 
Are you seeing fewer birds in your neighborhood? I know I am!

Chuck Darwin gives us two words that have to do with birds, humans, and some other species, Tito gives us some very weird bird facts, and Captain Jack tells us some tools birds use that we use, too!

Happy October to you!
Hello, Planeteers! 
Are you afraid of spiders? if so, you might have one of the most common fears on the planet! But, before you go running off and getting webs in your hair, check out this spiderific episode and let's see if we can change your mind. Or, at least bust some of the most common myths about spiders!
In this episode, we take a deeper dive into the myths that surround spiders and put them to the test. Some are true and some are not, but they’re all fascinating! 
Chuck Darwin gives us a new word that I found hard to say, Tito gives us some spooky spider facts, and Captain Jack tells us why we shouldn’t catch spiders in our house and put them outside. I am totally guilty of that!
There's a project PDF to go along with the episode that involves apps, and you can download the PDF HERE.

Happy Fall to you!
Hello, Planeteers! 
Are you seeing wasps everywhere all of a sudden? Are they crashing your picnics, trying to steal your food, or hovering around you like it’s their job? Do you think they are scary or looking for the best spot to sting you?
In this episode, we take a deeper dive into the lifecycle of the wasp and find a greater understanding of their behavior. We also learn why we shouldn’t swat at them or try to shoo them away, and what we can do to help them and ourselves instead. We also find out that they’re actually pretty important pollinators and pest controllers!
Chuck Darwin gives us a new word that applies to more species than just wasps, Tito gives us some weird wasp facts, and Captain Jack gives us two important reasons not to swat at wasps.
There's a PDF to go along with the episode that has wasp pictures, and a wasp project that benefits everybody! You can download the PDF HERE.
