Lulu Miller, intrepid host and fearless mother of two, went off on her own and put together a little something for kids. All kids: hers, yours, and the one still living inside us all.\xa0\nRadiolab for Kids Presents: Terrestrials\nAnd it\u2019s spellbinding. So much so, that we wanted to put this audio goodness in front of as many ears as possible.\xa0\nWhich is why we\u2019re running the first episode of that series here for you today.\xa0\nIt\u2019s called The Mastermind. In it, Sy Montgomery, an author and naturalist, shares the story of a color-changing creature many people assumed to be brainless who outsmarts his human captors. If you want a SPOILER of what the creature is, read on: It\u2019s an octopus. We hear the story of one particularly devious octopus who lost a limb, was captured by humans, and then managed to make an escape from its aquarium tank\u2014back into the ocean! The tale of \u201cInky\u201d the octopus calls into question who we think of as intelligent (and kissable) in the animal kingdom.\nLearn about the storytellers, listen to music, and dig deeper into the stories you hear on Terrestrials with activities you can do at home or in the classroom on our website, Terrestrialspodcast.org\xa0\nFind MORE original Terrestrials fun on Youtube.And badger us on Social Media: @radiolab and #TerrestrialsPodcast\nAnd if your little ones or you want to hear more of Team Terrestrials amazing work on this series, please search for Radiolab for Kids Presents: The Mastermind, wherever you get podcasts or subscribe here.\xa0\nTerrestrials is a production of WNYC Studios, created by Lulu Miller.
