Thirty-five Thousand Feet Deep!

Whoa! That’s one crazy-looking nocturnal lemur. Hailing from Madagascar, it’s
the only primate to echolocate. But why does it have that long middle finger?
You’ll find out with a little help from lemur evolution expert Dr. Anne Yoder.

Aye-Aye

Ever wondered what it would be like to go to the bottom of the ocean? I’m talking
the VERY bottom—like 35,000 feet deep into the Mariana Trench! Humans have
only gone twice, the first time back in 1960 (before we’d even landed on the
moon). The journey took nine hours in a balloon-like submersible called the
Bathyscaphe Trieste. We’ll learn more about this unconventional vehicle by
talking to none other than Captain Don Walsh, who actually went on the amazing
adventure!

Bathyscaphe Trieste

The master mystifier!

In this pilot episode we learn about
the death-defying escape artist, and
just what makes him so special.
Houdini historian John Cox describes
some of the master mystifier's most
extraordinary escapes. And we
answer some deep questions from a
seven-year-old girl in Granville, Ohio.

Harry Houdini
