Have you heard the news?

Smash Boom Best is now independent.

We're so excited to be back with an epic news season, and it's all thanks to our Smarty Pass members.

They're the big-hearted helpers who power us by joining at Smartypass.org. You can be one of them. Your support helps pay our debaters and sound designers, so we can keep making the fun and fact-filled shows your family loves. Plus, you get ad-free versions of all of our shows, bonus stuff, and access to virtual hangs with me, Molly.

Again, that's smartypass.org. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Now, on with the show.

From the brains behind brains on, it's Smash Boom Best.

The show for people with big opinions.

Hi, I'm Molly Bloom, and this is Smash Boom Best.

The show where we take two things smash them together and ask you to decide which one is best.

I hope you're hungry because we've got a heaping plate of debate for you.

We're pitting two perfect pastas against each other.

It's spaghetti versus ravioli. Here to lay on the

sauce for spaghetti is chef and cookbook author Julia Tertian. Go spaghetti. And getting rowdy for

ravioli, we've got science communicator and host, Niba of Notes by Niva. I'm so excited to be here

because ravioli conquers space and time and taste.

Excellent.

And here to judge it all is Madalina from San Diego, California.

Madalina loves making practical crafts.

She's traveled to nearly all the national parks around the West Coast.

She speaks Chinese, and her favorite subject in school is her media class where kids do a newscast. Welcome, Madalina.
