Hey, Smarty Pants and Smarty Families, trusty narrator here with a must-listen podcast I Know Your Love.

It's a show called Steam Daydream, made by our friends at National Children's Museum in Washington, D.C.

In the new season of their show, they investigate everyday mysteries like why bubbles around and where trash goes

to uncover the science, technology, engineering, art and math that explains the world around us.

Every episode is 20 minutes or less and features real life experts and curious kids like you.

You can follow the fun by searching Steam Daydream with National Children's Museum wherever you listen to podcasts.

Hey, Smarty Pants.

I'm in a monastery in Europe during the middle ages, around the year 610.

Here, religious people called monks spend most of their days in silent prayer and meditation.

Monks would also help the poor, care for the sick and educate children.

Many were skilled at farming and baking and by some accounts, the monks in this monastery created the world's first...

What? Is it the smoothie?

The Dorito?

Or the pretzel?

Hello!

Did somebody say pretzel?

Hit it, fellas!

Yeah!

The Germans love our pretzel.

Some of us eat them for breakfast and lunch and maybe later for some breakfast and taste the drink

good by these fantastic monks.

Thank you, Sean.
