Hi, it's Molly from BrainsOn and Smash Boom Best with an important request for the curious

adults listening in today. As you may know, the BrainsOn universe is public media.

Philanthropic donations from you help power this show and so many others that our team created

this year. When you donate today, you could choose an extra special thank you gift,

maybe kids stop listening for a second if you want a surprise, this gift would be a personalized

message from me for the BrainsOn universe fan in your life. And it will get there in time

for the holidays. Find more details and make your donation at brainson.org slash donate.

That's brainson.org slash donate. Thank you so much for your support.

Hi friends, it's almost time for the world premiere of our moment of um podcast.

Check out this sneak peak. Good morning. Why does my breath smell so bad when I wake up?

Great question. What if I told you there's a podcast that can answer it? Say hello to moment of um.

Every weekday, you'll get an answer to one of those questions that seem to pop into your

head out of nowhere. How do you make clay for pottery? Do airplanes have a speed limit?

How do schools find the nuts after they bury them? I want to know what peaches have fuzz on them.

What would happen if the moon fell down? Moment of um is a bite-sized show hosted by the folks

behind brainson, smash boom best and forever ago. You'll meet experts for all walks of life

who will help find the answers to all your head scratchers. There's a new episode every week

day so you can listen on the way to school, going to practice, or while you drift off to sleep,

or you can binge a bunch of them on a road trip. Whenever you listen, it's the perfect way to kick

start your brain. You can follow moment of um in your favorite podcast player or on youtube or at

momentofum.org. And while you're there, send us your own moment of um question. The first episode

drops January 24th. Follow and tell your friends today. Until then um um um
