Happy Halloween 🎃👻👹

Welcome to the 'making friends' episode. Slightly Halloween flavored, filled with lots of friend making advice, mostly fun.

The Truly Friends Game:

Play along by asking a friend 3 Halloweeny questions about yourself, then answer 3 more about them. See how well you know each other. 

Jesse & Mr. Sean:

Join 10 year old Jesse & his warm 'play therapist' as they explore some of the challenging aspects of making new friends.

Bad Dad:

No dads were harmed telling these jokes. 

Being a good friend:

Swara asks her friends a few questions on the topic 

Kids Listen survey:

Please take 2 minutes & fill out this form:

Top10 tips to making a new friend:

Chloe came up with great ways to help us all make a new friend.

Online vs. IRL friends:

Ari & his friends James & Max giggle their way through this topic. 

Bizarre ASMR:

A bit of a silly one this time. 

THANK YOU!

Mr. Sean, Jesse, Zoe, Momoe, Max, James, Chloe, Swara, Akash & the 'we who must not be named' group. 

A special thank you also to Tina & Stacia. 

Our new friend Zoe asked for a 'movies' episode, so we had a ball with her: her mom Tina made the bizarre ASMRs, Zoe's dad made up some movie flavored bad dad jokes, and their family friend 'Uncle Vince' got a new segment with which we aim to entertain you.

There are many highlights to this episode, but meeting Hollywood movie producer Lee Eisenberg was Ari's favorite. Lee shares how 'making it' in Hollywood doesn't just happen, it is earned through hard work and dedication. After years of putting in late hours & learning from rejected scripts, Lee & his partner became writers for 'The Office' which was a stepping stone to producing for the big screen.

There are so many fun segments in this episode, and we love your participation! The Trippin' Errol segment is back and in it, Errol answered all of your questions. Note we didn't say if he answered them all correctly.. you'll have to tune in & find out for yourself.  

Don't forget to wish Ari a Happy Birthday with a review on Apple Podcasts!

It's official, it dropped! We hope it'll make a big splash. Remember, sharing is caring.

Guess the bizarre ASMRs (can be found on our website: AtYourLevelPod.com)

This season finale is filled with poems about space. The trombone bits are also about space. The whole thing is packed with poems and, well, space!

That's because for this episode we collaborated with some amazing creatives that inspired us:

Astrophysicist Sean Raymond who wrote the book 'Blackholes Stars Earth and Mars', Illustrated by his son Owen (who was kind enough to make this cover for us too). We highly recommend this book! Here's a link to it: https://www.amazon.com/Black-Holes-Stars-Earth-Mars/dp/B08LFZZWGZ

And our Kids Listen friend Darren Short of Kids Poetry Club. The kid poets heard in this episode are the winners of his 'Space and the Sky' contest. To enter the next competition or to check out more kid poetry, visit: https://www.kidspoetryclub.com/

Trick or treat ? This one's both! The trick is that this is not a new episode, witchful thinking, I know. The treat is.. well, this fa-boo-lous episode!  So What do you think this Halloween's gonna look like? Was last Halloween different than what you expected? Did you even have any expectations? And do you remember Halloween before the pandemic? 

What superpower would you like to have? Do you think science has made that superpower possible?

Science helps us do so many things that we couldn't before. In this episode Ari explores this topic through interviews and games with Dr. William Haseltine and Jack of Jack to the Future.

As well as a special Nerd Out with an assist from Dr. Laurie Santos' The Happiness Lab and the Let Slip the Dogs of More Happiness inspiring episode.

A special thank you to the kids who lent us their voices:

Eva, Belle, Jesse, Anya, Warren, Roland, John, Charlie & Dominic.
