A groundbreaking podcast for curious kids aged 4-12 that proves science is anything but dull.
  

Join our fictional AI hosts Mira, a brilliant 9-year-old, and her younger brother Finn, age 7, as they explore the incredible world of science. From exploding volcanoes and black holes to deadly venom and the tiny machines inside your own body, each episode uncovers the most astonishing, surprising, and sometimes mind-bending wonders of science - explained in a way that actually makes sense to kids.

Whether you're discovering how rockets blast into space, why dinosaurs ruled the Earth, what really happens inside a thunderstorm, how your brain pulls off impossible tricks, or why the ocean's deepest creatures glow in the dark - Science Is Not Boring transforms big scientific ideas into unforgettable stories that ignite curiosity and wonder.

Because science isn't a pile of facts to memorize. It's the story of how everything works - and how we figure it out.

A note on why we use AI. For us, AI allows us to deliver learning at a scale and quality that previously would have been too expensive. If we make the odd technical error, or the sound goes a bit funny, bear with us, we're trying our best. We hope you enjoy the show!

What is zero gravity?

Season 1 · Episode 3

lundi 15 juin 2026 • Duration 12:45

Imagine living on the International Space Station, zooming around the Earth at a mind-blowing 17,500 miles per hour! But what actually happens to your human body when there is absolutely no gravity holding you down? Hosts Mira and Finn are blasting off to explore the wild, weird, and wonderful effects of microgravity! Did you know that if you went to space right now, you would instantly grow up to two whole inches taller? Without gravity to squish your spine, you stretch right out! But that is just the beginning. You'll also learn about "puffy-face, bird-leg syndrome," why astronauts have to cover their food in spicy hot sauce just to taste it, and why drinking water involves catching giant, wobbly floating blobs! Discover why astronauts must strap themselves to the walls like bats just to get a good night's sleep, and why they have to run on special bungee-cord treadmills for two hours every single day. Get ready to learn the amazing science behind how the human body adapts to life in the stars!

Join us as we travel back in time to 1752 to watch Benjamin Franklin fly his famous kite into a dark, brewing storm. Then, zoom all the way down to a microscopic level to meet the tiny, hyperactive, invisible bits of energy called electrons! We will also follow the famous inventor Thomas Edison on his wild race to create the very first working lightbulb. You won't believe the bizarre things his team tested to make a bulb glow—they tried 6,000 different materials, including a hair pulled right out of a man's beard! From dangerous lightning bolts zapping at 270,000 miles per hour to the quiet hum of your bedroom lamp, discover how human curiosity lit up the entire world. It's basically magic, but it's real science!

Why does the ocean have tides?

Season 1 · Episode 1
