Hey there, Wonder World listeners! It's Pam and Olivia here, and do you know what today is? It's July 22nd and we've got a splendid episode lined up for you! Get ready to dive into the 4th week of July filled with fascinating festivities. Did you know today is Mango Day and World Brain Day? Yummy and smarty celebrations rolled into one!

July 24th is National Cousins Day and, just to keep the fun rolling, July 25th is Carousel Day and National Merry-Go-Round Day. Who knew carousels and merry-go-rounds weren't the same? We've got a Wonder World bonus audio on that!

Don't miss this week's historical snippets: the discovery of Machu Picchu on July 24, 1911, and Bugs Bunny's debut on July 27, 1940. And of course, we'll celebrate famous birthdays as well as birthday shout-outs to some of our Wonderworld Kids Club members. We have listener-submitted jokes, and don't forget our fun trivia question regarding the world's largest carousel. Can you guess where it’s located?

Our word of the week, mischief, is a sneaky one! See how many times you can use it in your conversations. Finally, snuggle up for a delightful pioneer story about Samuel and Martha’s adventurous journey out west.

Grab the whole family and hit play. It’s time to let Wonder World sweep you away into another fun-filled episode. Until next time, keep wondering!
