OLI, evening stories for the little ones
The author of Apple, Green and Mauve, has imagined especially for the youngest of our listeners a tale that smells of summer, projects, tree houses and vacations with grandparents.
Adults know the trilogy The yellow eyes of the crocodiles, The slow waltz of the turtles and _Central Park squirrels are sad on Mondays.

When we think of Santa Claus, we see the tree, the reindeer, the gifts, the sleigh, even the elves. But François Morel knows well how it goes, in real life at Christmas. Santa Claus, a tree branch, a phone that no longer picks up, the Pope and Mrs. Claus who is patient … a perfect story to listen to while waiting for December.
Every morning, he says nonsense to make us laugh on the radio. Daniel Morin this time said them for our kitties. It begins like a Perrault tale …. A poor family, who lives in an icy forest. But everything becomes clear, when one evening, the father returns with a big hen, very fat, good to eat except that it was a special hen.
The Odyssey, History for 7-12 year olds
Imagine .. The Valley of the Kings, a very dry region that runs along the Nile in the far south of Egypt. We are on the morning of November 4, 1922.

“Houston, we have a problem” : five little words that alone sum up the Apollo 13 mission. Three astronauts left to walk on the moon, but nothing works as planned. Stress, drama, scientific ingenuity …. Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert and Fred Haise will eventually return to Earth without damage, but without having set foot on lunar soil. Story of this incredible space mission.
Ah right now, we would like to bask on an island of white sand listening to the sack and the surf of the sea. But for Robin Crusoe, the island was not so idyllic. Live 28 years, alone, lost in the middle of the ocean, on a lost island? Brrrr, it is better to stay warm, and live this story by listening to the three Odyssey dedicated to it.
Before receiving the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, it took tenacity, courage and strength! Marie Curie was born in Poland then partly under Russian control.

Find out more in the three episodes of Odyssey.
OLMA, the science podcast for the youngest
What do we know about the planets around us? When and how did they appear? After centuries of observation with the naked eye, today we use space probes and telescopes… and we know a lot more about our solar system. Astrophysicist François Forget explains everything to us in this episode of OLMA, to listen to the eyes in the sky.
Why is the sun getting hot? And shines? By dint of shining, will it eventually die out? Why is it so important in our lives, when it is a “commonplace” star, neither the biggest nor the smallest of the 150 billion stars in our galaxy? Roland Lehoucq is an astrophysicist at the French Atomic Energy and Alternative Energies Commission. And he explains everything to us, under an aurora borealis sky.
E = mc2. Okay. But what does that mean? What exactly is the theory of relativity? Did Albert Einstein love science when he was little? Mathieu Vidard and Philippine asked all these questions to physicist Etienne Klein.
???? LISTEN | Who was Albert Einstein?
Is lava and magma the same thing? And how do they form, volcanoes? What does it feel like the first time you climb to its summit? Are there volcanoes everywhere on the planet? Arrrg … we have so many questions! But thanks to Mathieu Vidard, volcanologist Patrick Allard answers in this episode of OLMA.
Populated by mammals, whales, dolphins, more than 1000 species of fish, coral reefs … the Mediterranean is home to an incredible life, even if it suffers today from the effects of pollution and climate change. Guided tour with Mathieu Vidard and the diver biologist Laurent Ballesta.
