Turning 10 is a big deal for most kids, and in a similar vein, But Why is pretty excited to be joining the double digit club! The show launched on April 1, 2016 so this week marks our 10th birthday. 🎂 Thank you for listening to But Why, for sending us questions, and for supporting our show. Here's to 10 more years of questions and adventures! 🧡 by @butwhy_kids

@stephenathome and @npr CEO Katherine Maher didn't quite know about But Why on @colbertlateshow last night, but you should!

@butwhy_kids is PROUD to be public media. We're one of the top podcasts for kids in the country, and yes, we include all of their voices in the show.

Growing pains! Adults love to say it in business contexts so much that it's easy to forget that the expression actually comes from the physical pain kids experience as they're growing up. But what causes growing pains anyway? Should you be concerned? Let's talk about it.

Our nature center morning ☕

🚗 Drive soundtrack: @butwhy_kids “Why do we like being scared?” from the Kids Podcasts Halloween countdown playlist - saving you the “what should we listen to” debate

tea (made, not finished) → podcast on the drive → museum → walk → reheating the tea… 10/10 morning, minus the rain we got caught in ☔️
