Hey, everybody. We are doing something a little bit different on the show today. We are going to share an episode from an absolutely wonderful show, a show that I really, really love called Terrestrials. If you've heard of Radio Lab, this is made by the same people, but it's kind of radio lab for kids.

And it is just absolutely delightful.

It is such a joy to listen to.

And that's without your children.

That's just as an adult.

But it is great to listen to with the whole family.

And you're just going to come away with a new understanding of whatever it is they are talking about.

In this case, they're talking about stumps, like the stump of a tree.

You are going to learn more about stumps than you ever even thought possible.

And they are awesome.

Maybe you thought stumps were boring.

Wrong.

They rule.

Okay. I think you're really going to like this show. So here is Terrestrials.

Three, two, one. Imagine you standing in the middle of a forest. Your arms break off and your

insides hollow out.

Your skin turns hard and rough.

Humans think of you as being dead like a ghost.

But the birds and insects and rodents know the truth about you.

Inside, you are brimming with life.

You birth babies.

You fight fire.
