Mr. Eric is your host and your guide through What If World! One day after a really good sneeze, Mr. Eric opened his eyes and saw giant turtles wandering along the highway and pretzel trees twisting up to the clouds. He was in What If World! He made it back home, but he still visits What If World every so often to find out the answers to all your questions...
The stories on the podcast are told by Mr. Eric, but he's not the only one that can get to What If World. You can, too! What If World is right there in your imagination!

Transcripts by Keffy Kehrli. Keffy spends most of his time trying to tell computers what to do! When he's not doing that or typing up Mr. Eric's stories, he's telling his dogs not to eat sticks, trying to learn Spanish, and catching too many Pokémon.
And a huge thanks to our Producer, Miss Lynn Hickernell: world class helper, lover of doughnuts, and our kids’ favorite musical artist!
