About this episode
This episode explores how walkie-talkies use radio waves to communicate and the science behind it.
Discover the science of how walkie-talkies use invisible radio waves to send voices through the air without cell towers. Join Dr. Owl, Emma, and Ziggy as they find out why talking at the same time makes "robot soup" and learn the golden rule of sharing the airwaves.
