This magazine-format show presents many beloved Highlights features enhanced with an energetic new voice that reminds me a lot of old radio. The stories, puzzles, jokes, the fun and the learning are all there. Interactive features and weekly Hangmail allow young listeners to call in by submitting riddle responses and sharing their own jokes, riddles, tongue twisters, poems and potentially Wow-worthy burning science questions to be answered by Mindy Thomas and Guy Raz from Wow in the World.

Hosted by Tim Kubart and Juanita Andersen (Barrel of Monkeys the show features familiar Highlights features like Goofus and Gallant, Ask Arizona, and replaces the Hidden Pictures challenges with a more sonic Hidden Sound Game that invites listeners to listen for, identify, and count up the Hidden Sounds throughout the show.

In addition to the Hidden Sounds game, Hang Ten, the action-packed premiere episode, features a song about summer camp, listener-submitted jokes and poems, a visit to an imaginary amusement park and a game called I Can’t Believe this Imaginary Wave Pool Has a Line This Long Game Show and learning fun around the sport of surfing.
