Hello, welcome along. My name's Dan. Thank you so much for giving a listen to a brand new brain busting edition of the Fun Kids Science Weekly.

This is the show where we speed across the universe.

We look at all the epic and deadly stuff that's within,

and we get you back within about half an hour,

so fingers crossed, no one notices that you're gone.

Now, today we're chatting about one of the most venomous snakes in the whole world.

Also, we'll hear about a new way that scientists are hoping to find

aliens and we'll get a proper science expert on the show in just a sec to answer a question

that you have sent in something that's niggling away at your brain. First, let's figure out

how it exactly is that you are listening to what I'm saying right now.

Like, what do your ears really do?

How do they work?

We can find out with one of our favourite geniuses here at Fun Kids.

It's Professor Hallex.

Hallex is Hearing Help Desk.

I do hope Dr. Malayas can figure out what's wrong with your ears soon.

You want a few beers soon?

Bit early nurse for beer.

This is hopeless.

Fancy a game of trump cards while we wait for our appointments.

Look, there's a special hearing edition you can download.
