  • Zippy Citrus Safari- From Yuzu Bath to Calamansi Zingggg!
    Culture Kids brings listeners along on a zesty global journey as Asher and his mom Kristen, invite young explorers to hop aboard their imaginary Culture Train and uncover the wonders of two extraordinary citrus fruits! Packed with whimsy and wonder, the episode begins with lively storytelling that defines what makes a fruit citrus, highlighting characteristics like thick rinds, juicy segments, puckering tang, and that unmistakably bright citrus scent that makes your nose tingle. Soon enough, the Culture Train chugs off to Japan, where listeners meet yuzu: a tangerine-sized, wrinkly fruit prized more for its fragrant peel than its tart juice. Kristen explains how yuzu is used to flavor ponzu sauces, teas, and even ice cream, and how families celebrate the winter solstice with aromatic yuzu baths...a sensory tradition that warms both body and spirit. From Japan, the adventure continues to the Philippines, where the duo explores a sunny calamansi farm. Asher and Kristen point out star-shaped blossoms and marvel at the tiny round fruits that change from green to vibrant orange when ripe. Young explorers are encouraged to scratch the rind, breathe in the sweet, tangy fragrance, take a bite, and taste the burst of sour yet surprisingly sweet juice, discovering how calamansi brightens everything from noodle dishes and sauces to desserts and refreshing drinks. The episode also gently educates kids about respecting agriculture across borders: Kristen explains why fresh fruits can’t be brought from one country to another- tiny pests or diseases, though invisible, could harm faraway farms and gardens, reminding curious listeners to protect nature and people everywhere. As the journey wraps up, Asher is encouraged to become a “Flavor Explorer” at home, sniffing new fruits in the grocery aisle, asking grown-ups for a tiny taste (when safe), and seeing everyday shopping as an imaginative learning adventure!

  • Let's Go Swim with Wild Dolphins in California!
    Kristen and Asher invite you to board their magical Culture Kids boat in Long Beach, California, and set sail across glittering Pacific waves to meet playful dolphins in the wild. Picture the sea breeze, sparkling waves, seabird calls, and our imaginations fully immersed in ocean magic. Asher’s excited to spot dolphins—maybe Common Dolphins joining the ocean party, or Bottlenose, Pacific White-sided, and even the scarred Risso’s with their doodle-like marks. We explore what dolphins eat (think fish, squid, shrimp, and even jellyfish), learn how orcas are actually dolphins (mind = blown), and gasp when a pod appears, circling and leaping around the boat like nature’s own ballet. We play along in our imagination—snorkels, life jackets, and all—while respecting that in real life, wild dolphins need space. Underwater, we dive deeper into dolphin superpowers: echolocation clicks, signature whistles (each dolphin’s name song), and self-awareness—yes, dolphins recognize themselves in mirrors! Then, we pivot to an important message—real dolphins face dangers like fishing nets and pollution. Small choices to recycle, reduce plastic, and protect the ocean are big wins for our sea friends. To wrap up, we sun-dry on the deck, feel joyful, and invite Culture Kids families to dream with us—seahorses, sea turtles, sea creatures not yet discovered.
