About this episode

A chaotic race to Mars involves a British boy genius, intelligent chickens, a sheep, and penguins, leading to unexpected teamwork.

In a global competition for a one-trillion-pound prize, a British boy genius, a crew of intelligent Nigerian chickens, a sheep, and a team of penguins from New Zealand all launch to race to Mars. The journey quickly devolves into chaos as the teams face mechanical failures, a penguin mutiny, and the discovery of a secret "EggBot" that threatens to snatch the victory from everyone. Stranded on the Red Planet with nothing but a crate of turnips and broken ships, the rival teams must decide whether to compete for the prize or work together to find a way back to Earth. 📖On Story Quest, Dan narrates stories with titles and characters suggested by Fun Kids Radio's listeners.
