Hey Smarties, if there's one thing I know about our Smarty Pants listeners, it's that you're

super curious about the world around you. Because of that, I'd like to recommend a fun educational

podcast I know you'll enjoy. It's called

Everything Everywhere Daily. On Everything Everywhere Daily, host Gary teaches you a

little something about everything. From microscopes and dogs to the digital audio allowing you to hear my voice right now.

There's a new episode every single day,

so you and your adults can listen and learn about things from the world of

history, science, space exploration, archaeology, pop culture, and more. Even I

listen and learn with Everything Everywhere Daily,

like the episode I just loved about Paracooten,

the world's youngest volcano.

Take it from me, trustee.

Listeners of all ages can learn something new every single day with everything everywhere daily.

Find it on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

P. P. Hey, Smarty Pants, do me a favor and take a look down at your skin. The best places to look would be your knee or your elbow maybe your chin go ahead take a quick peek do you see anything

now I'm not saying you're clumsy. Whoa!

But chances are, if you've been active lately, the skin on your knee, elbow, or elsewhere on your arms or legs

is going to show some evidence of a bomb, a bruise, or a scrape.

And if it was a big enough scrape, you might even have a scab. You know, one of those dark redder brown crusty globes that forms on your skin.

Ew. And if you don't have one now, I'm sure you've had one at some point in your life.

I got one on my knee after I scraped it playing soccer.

But have you ever wondered what scabs are or how they form or what their purposes?
