Our new friend Zoe asked for a 'movies' episode, so we had a ball with her: her mom Tina made the bizarre ASMRs, Zoe's dad made up some movie flavored bad dad jokes, and their family friend 'Uncle Vince' got a new segment with which we aim to entertain you.
There are many highlights to this episode, but meeting Hollywood movie producer Lee Eisenberg was Ari's favorite. Lee shares how 'making it' in Hollywood doesn't just happen, it is earned through hard work and dedication. After years of putting in late hours & learning from rejected scripts, Lee & his partner became writers for 'The Office' which was a stepping stone to producing for the big screen.
There are so many fun segments in this episode, and we love your participation! The Trippin' Errol segment is back and in it, Errol answered all of your questions. Note we didn't say if he answered them all correctly.. you'll have to tune in & find out for yourself.
Don't forget to wish Ari a Happy Birthday with a review on Apple Podcasts!

This season finale is filled with poems about space. The trombone bits are also about space. The whole thing is packed with poems and, well, space!
That's because for this episode we collaborated with some amazing creatives that inspired us:
Astrophysicist Sean Raymond who wrote the book 'Blackholes Stars Earth and Mars', Illustrated by his son Owen (who was kind enough to make this cover for us too). We highly recommend this book! Here's a link to it: https://www.amazon.com/Black-Holes-Stars-Earth-Mars/dp/B08LFZZWGZ
And our Kids Listen friend Darren Short of Kids Poetry Club. The kid poets heard in this episode are the winners of his 'Space and the Sky' contest. To enter the next competition or to check out more kid poetry, visit: https://www.kidspoetryclub.com/
