It seems like kids always ask the silliest questions! Why don't humans breathe fire like dragons? Do dinosaurs have jet packs? Parents usually just brush them off and never give the curious kid the answer. However, Tai Poole gathers up all of his questions (no matter how silly) and seeks to find the answers on his teenage-hosted podcast, "Tai Asks Why." His episodes discuss the questions that most of us have probably wondered about but were never brave enough to ask. Listen in as we talk to Tai about his podcast, juggling school, and following your curiosity.
