How We Explore

by National Geographic

How do you become an explorer? And what does an explorer do? These are questions we get all the time. In this National Geographic Kids podcast, we’ll talk to eleven explorers who contribute to science and exploration through different fields. Learn about the challenges and inspirations they find along the way. From digging for ancient artifacts to gazing at the stars, these National Geographic Explorers have had adventures in the farthest-flung reaches of the world, and in their own backyards. They are scientists, explorers, and leaders who took risks and overcame problems to become who they are today. We want to share some of their amazing stories with you—and show you How We Explore.

I wanted more Greeking Out, so I was looking for episodes that I had not seen yet when I came across this. I listened to the first episode thinking I was going to be unimpressed, but I was pleasantly surprised. This is so good. I like how they are shorter so I can listen to them when I am doing my chores and not have to listen to the rest later. It is just as good as Greeking Out and is a great listen. Hope ya’ll like it as much as I do.
