Science isn’t just something that happens in a lab. It’s an adventure! In this Tumble Media audiobook, co-hosts Lindsay Patterson and Marshall Escamilla take listeners “in the field” to discover how science happens in the real world, meeting scientists where they work, and capturing the sounds, stories, and surprises of discovery along the way.

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to search for rare flowers in the Pyrenees mountains, visit a cutting-edge supercomputer inside a historic church in Barcelona, or stand on a college campus in Ireland as the nation prepares to launch its first satellite into space? With “Tumble: In the Field,” you’ll get to travel to these places and more, hearing the real stories of scientists and the challenges and triumphs they face while doing science outside the lab.

But this audiobook goes beyond the free podcast episodes. In each chapter, you’ll hear exclusive behind-the-scenes stories from Lindsay and Marshall as they reflect on the making of each episode. Discover how a conversation at a taco truck led to recording a story in the mountains, or how a borrowed field recorder captured the sounds of science (and a tumble down a hill). Learn about what it’s like to chase stories across Europe with a microphone in hand, the funny moments, the challenges, and the discoveries that didn’t make it into the original episodes.

With fun facts, personal stories, laughter, and insights into how science reporting happens, “Tumble: In the Field” brings a sense of wonder and adventure to science learning. Whether you’re listening at home, in the car, or in the classroom, you’ll feel like you’re traveling alongside Lindsay and Marshall, discovering the science that’s happening all around us.

Perfect for curious kids, families, and teachers looking to bring engaging STEM learning into their daily lives, this audiobook is designed to inspire young scientists to ask questions, explore the world, and see that science is everywhere. It’s also a celebration of curiosity, showing that the tools of science can be used by anyone willing to look closer, ask questions, and follow where their curiosity leads.

If you’re ready to join an audio adventure packed with science, stories, and the joy of discovery, grab your headphones and get ready to go “In the Field” with Tumble.
