Scientific Glassblower: WHO Makes Things Out of Glass?

What if your kid stopped asking “What is that?” and started asking “WHO does that?”


Jobtastic is an educational, story-driven podcast for curious kids about epic jobs – most you probably don’t know exist!. Each episode follows a real question from a child to a real expert behind how the world works.


This isn't about 'what do you want to do when you grow up?' or boring employment data.
It’s a new way for kids to see the world and just maybe where they might fit in it.
