My question is who invented words?

The animals have the same taste but as people have, what is the kind of a world that feel like?

Why do geese fly in a shape of a bee?

How do they slay a lintel?

Hi, my name is Jane Lindholm and I'm the host of a new podcast for Kids from VPR, Vermont Public Radio.

We're calling the show, but why?

A podcast for curious kids.

It's designed to be something you and your children can listen to on long rides in the car, at the dinner table, or whenever you're in the mood for learning something new.

Think of it as public radio for your kids.

Children are curious creatures.

Anyone who's spent time with a five-year-old knows that they have a lot of questions.

Some of them are really easy to answer and others are quite a bit tougher.

I wanted to give kids a space of their own to ask their funny, interesting, big and small questions and get a real answer.

So that's what But Why is all about.

Kids ask the questions and I help find interesting, enthusiastic people who can offer an answer.

Like this guy.

The important thing is that it's great that people like you are asking tough questions.

Only by thinking about all these possibilities will humanity continue to survive and flourish.

That's science fiction writer and author, MT Anderson.

He's written books like Feed, The Estonishing Life of Octavian Nothing, and a series of books called Pals in Parallel.

He helps us answer a question from Charlie in episode two about what the end of the world might feel like.

That's a really big question and it required some sensitive answers.
