Mr.Redge and Jonathan are off on their jam-packed-awesome-times-very-cool summer adventure, so they’ve asked their friends to fill in with their own unique kind of storytelling: It’s Lyndee and Leela, the mother-daughter duo at Newsy Pooloozi! They’re here to share their love of stories and wild, wacky news about science, technology, art, culture, politics, and more.

In this Newsy Pooloozi (formerly known as Newsy Jacuzzi) episode drop, you’ll hear about Maldives’ floating city to combat rising seas, Russia and US race to get dramatic in space, the cicada stink and snail snot soap! (This episode originally aired on June 2, 2021.)
