Hello and welcome back to the Curious Kid Podcast.

We got curious about the tongue all the way back in episode 48.

That episode came out over four years ago on September 1st, 2019.

When it came out, Olivia was only five years old,

and in just a few weeks, Olivia will turn 10 years old.

This week, we are going to learn about a topic

that goes really well with that tongue episode from four years ago.

Hi, Olivia and Jacob.

My name is Lily and I am eight and a half.

I love listening to your podcast.

I live in Hunter Valley in Australia and I listen to your podcast at school and at home. I'm curious about taste

buds and the five senses. I'd love to hear you talk about either of those. Keep up the amazing

work from Lily and Lily's mom, Hannah. Hi, I'm Elaine. I'm from Brisbane, Australia. And how old are you? Four. I'm and I'm four and soon turning five. And what topics would you like to hear about? Taste buds and scrap metal. was adorable when lane sent us that voicemail a couple of months ago

he was four years old and his fifth birthday was approaching that's the same age i was when we started

the podcast five years ago we are so thankful to have lots of support from

beautiful Australia. We are pumped to get curious about taste buds for Lily and Lane this week.

Let's kick off this tasty episode with the question of the week. Everybody's taste buds are unique to them. As people get older, the number of working taste buds changes.

The question of the week is, do older people have more or less working taste buds than younger people?

So taste buds are super small sensory organs on our tongues that allow us to taste things.

If you take a close look at your tongue in the mirror, you may notice small bumps on the surface
