VIDEO OF THE WEEK:
5 Dangerous Things You Should Let Your Children Do by Gever Tulley (founder of the Tinkering School).
What a fantastic video from Gever Tulley! My question would be, what is the age that you start some of that training?

I'm behind a bit in my listening, but wanted to say "Great interview!". I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with the Martha Stewart empire, but it was nice to hear from such a really enthusiastic, knowledgeable person - especially a woman so into science!! Very refreshing, and such a great inspiration for us mothers of girls. Thanks!

Hey,Megan. I also tend to be a bit down on the MS Empire, but I loved the interview.
I must say that while I love the idea of Audible and applaud their support of shows like yours, but I don't know how anyone with kids could get by on 1 credit per month.
Maybe Leo can pressure them, with his considerable influence :-P, to bring back the useful plans that they used to have.
