Kids, you have a lot of questions.

Is it a crocodile or dinosaur?

Why do people vote?

How does your food turn into your pee?

But why? A podcast for Curious Kids has answers.

I'm Jane Lindholm.

Join me as we dig deep into everything from science to history, nature, emotions, and sometimes even the weird.

Why are jellyfish is made of jelly? Or are they made out of jelly?

Fine, but why, wherever you get your podcasts.

And now it's time for Who Smarted?

Pts! Hey, Smarty Pants. Today we're going to talk about something that some of you might know, but some of you might not. And that is, hey, look out behind you! Did you turn to look? Anyway, as I was saying, today we're talking about, whoa, watch your head! Did you duck? No, not that kind of duck. I mean, did you quickly drop your head or put your arms up to protect yourself?

Maybe some of you did, but most of you probably didn't because, you know, you're listening to a podcast.

But if it was someone nearby who yelled that out, chances are you would, and that's a good thing.

Because that would mean your reflexes are working.

Yep, today we're talking about reflexes and how they keep you safe.

But how do they do that?

To help demonstrate, I'm joined by my friend, favorite newscaster, and bagel store owner,

Chet Nickerson.

Hiya, folks.

Chip Nickerson here, ready to report on reflexes.

Great. Now, by using a little smarty magic,

Chuck will experience what life would be like without reflexes.
