What it is about

Hey, Wombuddies! The Work It Out Wombats! Podcast is back, with all new episodes. Have you ever had a really BIG PROBLEM, like saying goodbye to a friend after a playdate, cleaning a messy room, or getting really, really mad? Well, so have Malik, Zadie, and Zeke! Over eight episodes (roughly 10 minutes each), the Work It Out Wombats! Podcast will give YOU a step-by-step way to solve those big problems while managing the “big feelings” you feel when you have trouble solving them. Put on your listening ears and hear how the Wombats and their friends learn how thunderstorms can be less scary if you turn the loud sounds into a story. Or, if your day doesn’t go as planned, how you can step out a different plan and still have fun! And Wombuddies, each episode ends with a helpful Step-by-Step! song. Sing along and learn the song so you can use the steps to solve problems in your own life. The Wombats, and computational thinking (a step-by-step, systematic approach to solving problems), can help you get over bumps in the road. It’s fun, it’s educational, it’s Work It Out Wombats! The Work It Out Wombats! Podcast is produced for PBS KIDS by GBH Kids and distributed by PBS KIDS and PRX.
