Week of 9/14/2025: Life on Mars, Earth Movement, Mattel, Disneyland, DASH, and a Miracle Drug

This Friday, Brooke discusses the new evidence for life on Mars, the movement of Earth's core, Mattel donating toys, Disneyland being forced to pay workers their fair share, and more.

Week of 9/7/2025: Lottery Surprises, Lego Records, and Silly Slugs.

What if the culprit behind a late-night ding-dong-ditch spree wasn’t even human? Or a parent’s midnight struggle turned into a world record? In this episode of Weirds, Wins, and Wows, I’m sharing some of the stories that caught my attention and reminded me that the world isn’t only chaos. You’ll hear about a strange late-night mystery, a Lego run you won’t believe, research on how music might actually help with motion sickness, a toddler who got the surprise of his life, and a lottery ticket that almost went in the trash. If you’re tired of the 24/7 news cycle, consider this your reset button. These are the stories that make you laugh, smile, and remember that the world is still full of surprises. If you want more storytelling, check out my other podcasts: The Long Arc, where I zoom out to explore history and its stranger threads, and Moth & Lantern, where I explore myths, creativity, and meaning.
