Listen "Episode 16 - Do You Bite Your Ice Cream?"
Episode Synopsis
Was the last episode a little too gross for you? Or not gross enough? Either way, we toned things down a bit this episode to talk about teeth, giraffe necks, and everyone's favorite frozen treats! Join your fearless podcasters Courtnei and Emily, with the gracious behind-the-scenes help of Jill, as we navigate through questions from listeners, like you! “Why do humans have two sets of teeth?,” “Why do giraffes have such long necks?,” and “Did the same person invite ice cream and popsicles?” Do you have any guesses as to the answers to these questions? Give a listen and find out if you are right!
Join us every other Wednesday as we answer listener questions about space, nature, human bodies, animals, and so much more. You can submit your own question for a chance to Stump the Librarian.
