This week, Curious City is featuring an episode of But Why, a podcast for curious kids produced by Vermont Public Radio.

But Why takes questions from kids “about topics large and small, about nature, words, even the end of the world. “

Curious City is sharing a recent episode called “Why Do We Poop And Fart?” It answers questions ranging from “How does your body make poop?” to “Why do people fart and why are farts stinky?”

Plus, it features reporting from our “Where Does Our Poop Go?” episode about what happens after you flush the toilet.

But Why is hosted and produced by Jane Lindholm with help from producer Melody Bodette.
