In this Postcard from Earth, Flip sends a letter home about a truly horrifying discovery... While visiting a place humans call a "carnival" (or sometimes a "fair"), Flip and Mozi stumble into what Flip is certain is an elaborate Earthling punishment colony. Why are humans voluntarily climbing aboard terrifying machines that fling them through the air? Why do they scream the entire time, only to stand in line and do it all over again? And perhaps most baffling of all... why are they eating fluffy fabric on sticks called "cotton candy"? What begins as a simple outing quickly becomes another wonderfully confusing Earth mystery. This hilarious alien correspondence is packed with laugh-out-loud misunderstandings and the delightfully upside-down perspective that only Flip & Mozi can deliver. As Mozi eagerly embraces every dizzying ride and carnival game, Flip becomes increasingly convinced that Earthlings have invented the galaxy's most elaborate form of recreational terror. Along the way, they discover that sometimes screaming doesn't always mean someone is in danger. Along the way, Flip and Mozi marvel at gravity-defying roller coasters, puzzle over spinning rides, towering Ferris wheels, and mysterious carnival treats, and debate why humans seem to enjoy being scared on purpose. Between Flip's growing panic and Mozi's unstoppable excitement, this Earthling encounter is full of curiosity, comedy, and plenty of topsy-turvy surprises. It's the kind of adventure that makes one of Earth's favorite traditions seem hilariously extraordinary. Flip & Mozi is the hit podcast from Tinkercast, the creators of Wow in the World, featuring original music from Grammy-nominated artists The Pop Ups. Each episode, aliens Flip and Mozi crash-land into a new animal encounter as they try to figure out what it means to be an earthling. From mammals to insects to sea creatures to reptiles, every curious creature they meet teaches them, and their listeners, something new about Earth and the important role animals play in our ecosystem. It's a nature and animal podcast for kids that keeps animal conservation in your family's conversations. Grownups, want to keep the Wow going?

Postcards from Earth: Mozi’s School Play Adventure
2 min
In this Postcard from Earth, Mozi sends a letter home about a baffling event... While visiting a place called an "elementary school," Flip and Mozi stumble into an event known as a "play." But when Mozi watches three tiny pig earthlings repeatedly slam the door on a poor wolf earthling, he's convinced that he's witnessing a real emergency! Why won't the pigs let the wolf inside? Why is everyone sitting quietly instead of helping? And why does the wolf keep blowing houses down? What begins as a simple observation quickly turns into another wonderfully confusing Earth mystery. This hilarious alien correspondence is packed with laugh-out-loud misunderstandings and the delightfully upside-down perspective that only Flip & Mozi can deliver. As Flip tries to explain the strange human tradition of pretending and storytelling, Mozi becomes more determined than ever to rescue the misunderstood wolf. Along the way, they discover that sometimes what's happening on stage isn't quite what it seems. Along the way, Flip and Mozi marvel at the curious custom of putting on plays, puzzle over why humans cheer for made-up stories, and debate whether audiences should ever jump in to help the characters. Between Mozi's unstoppable heroic instincts and Flip's increasingly frantic attempts to explain theater etiquette, this Earthling encounter is full of curiosity, comedy, and plenty of dramatic surprises. It's the kind of adventure that makes everyday human traditions seem hilariously extraordinary. Flip & Mozi is the hit podcast from Tinkercast, the creators of Wow in the World, featuring original music from Grammy-nominated artists The Pop Ups.

Postcards from Earth: Flip Visits a Shoe Store
3 min
In this Postcard from Earth, Flip sends a letter home about one of the most mysterious human rituals she has encountered yet. While visiting a place called a "shoe store," Flip becomes convinced she's stumbled upon a temple devoted entirely to strange foot coverings. Why are humans so fascinated by shoes? Why are some shoes displayed like precious treasures? And why do the temple attendants kneel before visitors? What begins as a simple shopping trip quickly becomes another wonderfully confusing Earth mystery. This hilarious alien correspondence is packed with laugh-out-loud observations and the delightfully upside-down perspective that only Flip & Mozi can deliver. As Flip and Mozi attempt to understand humanity's obsession with footwear, they discover that even the most ordinary Earth experiences can seem completely extraordinary through alien eyes. Along the way, Flip and Mozi marvel at the many different kinds of shoes humans wear, puzzle over why some are treated with such importance, and debate whether socks deserve their own stores. Between Mozi's determination to own every pair of shoes in sight and Flip's increasingly exhausted explanations, this Earthling encounter is full of curiosity, comedy, and plenty of sole-searching. It's the kind of adventure that makes you see everyday life from a hilariously different perspective. Flip & Mozi is the hit podcast from Tinkercast, the creators of Wow in the World, featuring original music from Grammy-nominated artists The Pop Ups.

2 min
In this Postcard from Earth, Mozi sends a letter home about one of the strangest Earth rituals he has encountered yet. While observing a group of young humans on a grassy field, Mozi becomes convinced that a mysterious black-and-white sphere is the victim of a planet-wide misunderstanding. Why is everyone kicking it? Why does only one human seem willing to pick it up? And why does everyone cheer when it ends up in a giant net? This hilarious alien correspondence is packed with laugh-out-loud observations and the wonderfully upside-down perspective that only Flip and Mozi can bring.
