| 10/12/26 |  411. Farting Lobster, Burping Crab: Part 1 | When Derek the lobster and Kiwa the crab find out that New What City needs their help, they leave their sewer home and set out on a magical—and sometimes gassy—adventure. Lessons include: Working together doesn’t always mean doing the same thing; we never need to make a big deal about farts and burps. It’s just a body doing what comes naturally. Get our Yoto Cards!

| 10/5/26 | 410. Gavin asks: What if Fred could turn anything into sticks? | When Fred wakes up in a stick-free meadow, he’ll do anything in his power to find something to chew. Lessons include: Taking responsibility for our mistakes; listening to other people’s body boundaries (even when you’re a make believe dog). This is the audio-only version of a YouTube video shot in front of a green screen for a kid-friendly, low-stimulation, no AI video. Grownups, you can find it via this link or by searching on YouTube Kids for What If World. Note: While chewing on a big sturdy stick can be fun for a dog, don’t let them consume the pieces. And don’t let them chew on Oak, which is not considered pet-safe. Subscribe at whatifworld.fun, Support the show, and get our Yoto Cards! Want more kids podcasts for the whole family?

(w/ Hamish Steele) | On his first day of school, Jackson (played by Hamish Steele) gets turned into a giant monster! Will he crash through Mystak City or get sent to outer space? Lessons include: Everyone needs an outlet for their big feelings; taking a little break in a big moment just takes a little imagination.

These stories are funny, heartfelt, and action packed. Our kids love them and we hope yours will too.
