Sinopsis

The science podcast that'll eat your brain. Shabam! is a new type of science show that blends fictional stories with real science. If you love science but hate those awkward scientist interviews that involve graphs and confusing metaphors, youre in luck. First off, Shabam! is an audio program - so no graphs. And second, through the magic of sound effects and music, youll hear stories that reveal the awesomeness in the world around us - like cellphones and vaccinations. In season one, our main story is about three kids separated from their parents during a Zombie apocalypse. Over the course of 10 episodes we follow their quest to reunite with their families. But their experience leads us to another conclusion - that theres a lot of science all around us that we take for granted. And finally, you may be wondering whether weve added silly songs and jokes to make up for the fact that we cant show you graphs. Yes we have. Also, we only interview cool scientists who aren't awkward, which means the whole family can enjoy it!
