PODCASTS
	Brains On! ® is a science podcast for curious kids and adults from American Public Media. Co-hosted each week by kid scientists and reporters from public radio, we ask questions ranging from the science behind tears to wolves to dust to how to translate the purr of cats and, not surprisingly, episodes on masks and mouth mist and the coronavirus and how germs spread – a celebration of spit and boogers as “the only way to travel!”
	But Why, a podcast for curious kids from Vermont Public Radio, answers kids’ questions including “How do we fall asleep?”, “Why do we have nightmares?”, “Do animals get married?”, “What happens when a president gets impeached?” as well as the very timely episode, “Explaining Coronavirus to kids and the science of soap.” Use this link to access a coloring page for each episode as well as the audio recording.
