What was it really like to visit the Ice Age? In this episode of Who, When, Wow: Mystery Edition, Carly Q bundles up for one of history's chilliest eras: the Ice Age. From towering woolly mammoths roaming frozen tundras to some of the very first human cave paintings, Carly explores what life was really like during one of Earth's most fascinating prehistoric eras. This mystery of history for kids is packed with time-travel fun, laugh-out-loud moments, and surprising discoveries that'll have curious kids and their grown-ups seeing the Ice Age in a whole new light. If you love history podcasts for kids that blend critical thinking with big laughs, this one is a must-listen. Carly Q—junior analyst at The Bureau of Universal Time Travel Historical Exploration Department (B.U.T.T.H.E.D.)—doesn't let a little frostbite or a few charging mammoths slow her down. Armed with her trusty fact-finding device H-D.A.D. and a whole lot of curiosity, she travels back roughly 30,000 years to explore the frozen world of the Pleistocene Epoch. Just how big were woolly mammoths? What kinds of early humans called the Ice Age home? And what can prehistoric cave art tell us about the people who created it? Carly Q is on the case. Along the way, she'll narrowly avoid becoming a mammoth speed bump, admire one of history's earliest artists, and discover why the Ice Age wasn't just a world of ice and snow—it helped shape the animals, landscapes, and humans that followed. Plus, she'll share a time-traveler's tip for experiencing the Ice Age in the present day with a visit to the world-famous La Brea Tar Pits, where fossils from the last Ice Age are still being uncovered today.
