Soneva Jani, How many universes did the Big Bang create? Why do spinner dolphins spin? How do fish breathe underwater? Why do turtles hide in their shells?

On this award winning show we answer questions live with children in the Den (kids club) at Soneva Jani, a beautiful resort in the Maldives. Our questions are:How many universes did the big bang create?Why do spinner dolphins spin?Why do turtles hide in their shells?How do fish breathe underwater?All great questions from kids on a tropical island under bright nighttime stars!They're answered with help from Tess, Dee and Rosie the Soneva experts! Tess is a marine biologist on the island, Dee shows people the stars each night with a huge telescope and Rosie is the turtle expert and when I was there she was helping baby turtles who were hatching out of eggs on the beach. Soneva Jani and Soneva Fushi are magical places and I was so honoured and delighted to be asked to visit as a writer and podcaster in residence, it was the dream job and I had the most wonderful, happy time I will treasure forever.
