  • Summary

  • In this exciting debut episode of Inside Henry’s Head, Henry and his dad take a deep dive into two quite unrelated but equally fascinating topics: the dodo—everyone’s favourite flightless, extinct bird—and the mangel-wurzel, a curious root vegetable with a silly name.

    Expect chat about how the dodo met its untimely demise (spoiler: if you're a Dutch sailor, you might not like it), how it might've got its name, and whether it could ever make a comeback. Then, brace yourself for Henry’s enthusiastic take on the mangel-wurzel, a vegetable with a long history of feeding livestock and helping the anally retentive.

    With Henry’s neuro-spectacular imagination at the helm, expect some (possibly correct) facts, interesting tangents, and his father's futile attempts to keep things on track.

    If you’ve ever wondered how extinct animals and amusing vegetables could possibly share a stage, this episode will not disappoint! (Unless you're Dutch, obviously...)

    Tune in for a head-scratching blend of history, science, and good old-fashioned whimsy—straight from Inside Henry’s Head.
