Episode description

Kathryn Williams is editor of the "Weird But True!" series for National Geographic. There are annual volumes, along with special releases focusing on animals or the environment. Kathryn shares details about Weird But True 2024, sharing insights from each of the continents as well as 'weird' tidbits from the ocean, and even outer space. For instance, there's a huge 80-foot steel "Kracken" sculpture atop a sunken WWII Navy ship in the British Virgin Island waters. Not to mention, volcano surfing in Nicaragua, and rainbow-colored mountains in China. The 300-page book also includes quizzes, colorful maps, and wacky news. While geared toward middle schoolers, this book is an interesting page turner for all ages. And a great gift idea as well! Info at the link below...
