Hello and welcome back to the Curious Kid podcast.

Wait until you hear what we're getting curious about this week.

Mail bag.

Dear Olivia and Jacob, my name is Ash and I live in Colorado.

I am five years old and I'm curious about ravens and octopuses.

I also want to know about ears and how people hear.

And I love your podcast.

We listen to it on road trips. Actually, I want to learn about car

batteries too. We are on a road trip right now and our battery died. Luckily, someone with a

portable car battery helped us by giving it a jumpstart. Thank you so much, Ash and his mom Kim from Boulder, Colorado.

Wow, what a great email.

So many wonderful suggestions or topics to get curious about.

This week, we are getting curious about ears for Ash.

The human body is so amazing, and there aren't many parts of the body that I think are as fascinating

as ears. Our ears are important in allowing us to hear the world around us, but it turns out

that our ears serve other important purposes as well. Stick around to learn lots about our ears

with the help of a very special guest. If you listen to last week's

episode on coding, you know that there were a lot of hard words in that episode that may be new

to a lot of our listeners, like algorithm and decomposition. Well, if you think those words are hard,

wait until you hear what job our special guest this week has.

His name is Ryan, and he's a pediatric otolaryngologist.
