Adults don't get to have all the TED Radio Hour fun.

Even little kids like big ideas. These TED Radio Hour episodes are host Guy Raz's favorites to play for his own children. So if you know a kid who's interested in the world, share this playlist with them for hours of intriguing listening.

Why do some people spend years trying to answer a single question, or even risk their lives to discover something new? In this hour, TED speakers explore how curiosity leads to unexpected places.

What drives discovery?

In this hour, TED speakers question whether we can experience the world more deeply by not only extending our senses — but going beyond them.

This hour, we'll hear from TED speakers who share an infectious sense of wonder and curiosity about our place in the universe and what lies beyond our skies.

In this episode, TED speakers look up to the night sky and consider our relationship with what might out there.

In this episode, TED speakers look up to the night sky and consider our relationship with what might out there.

In this hour, TED speakers explore our origins as a species — who we are, where we come from, where we're headed — and how we're connected to everything that came before us.

How we get to where we need to go--and how long it takes--affects our lives on a daily basis. In this hour, TED speakers imagine a future of transport that's faster, cleaner, and just plain cooler.
