This Is Rad!

This week we continue our makeshift “Summer of Indoors” series with a visit from past guest and friend of the show Alexis Quasarano to chat about the classic children's science education series The Magic School Bus. But we're not just talking about Miss Frizzle and her students adventures through the body and into outer space in book form. We're not just chatting about the TV show and it's banger of a theme song. But today, to fit with our theme, we are looking at The Magic School Bus through the lens of their 90's CD-Rom games. Lot going on this episode, but a good time is had by all.
