When Kids Have to Get Shots – For Parents & Caregivers
00:49:10 | Season: 3 | Episode: 12 | November 8th, 2021
Andrew & Polly have a frank conversation for parents about getting kids ready for the COVID-19 vaccine as well as routine pediatric vaccinations. We share some interesting stuff that didn’t make the episode for kids, why Polly doesn’t like to use the word “shots,” our own parenting practice around pediatric vaccination appointments and the extended interview with Child Life Specialist Rose Tandeta with tips and tricks for making these appointments go as smoothly as possible.
Getting Kids Ready for the COVID-19 Vaccine
00:33:33 | Season: 3 | Episode: 11 | November 4th, 2021
In this special episode of Ear Snacks, Andrew & Polly explore what kids know (and don’t know) about the Pediatric COVID-19 vaccine now available in the U.S. for children age 5-11. We prepare for the experience of getting a shot with Child Life Specialist Rose Tandeta (UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland) and explain how an mRNA vaccine works by sharing a hilarious pie analogy from Laurel Bristow (MSc, Control of Infectious Diseases). Here at Ear Snacks we love learning and sharing, and we hope all of our immune systems can learn how to keep our bodies healthy and not share crazy pies with our neighbors! Thanks to our friends Twyla, Dash, Ani, Izzy, Eliana, Quinn, Cora, and Jane and their parents for being on Ear Snacks.

Mustaches!
00:22:34 | Season: 3 | Episode: 10 | October 27th, 2021
Handlebar. Caterpillar. Pencil. Walrus. Andrew & Polly ponder the preponderance of upper-lip hair style choices and wonder — can only men like Tom Selleck and Ron Swanson grow mustaches? Why aren’t eyebrows called eye mustaches? Sally Rubin shares about her mustache and her film Mama Has a Mustache that encourages families to talk openly and listen curiously to what kids have to say about gender identity.

Tissues: How to Sneeze and Cellular Lego Kits
00:28:39 | Season: 3 | Episode: 9 | October 13th, 2021
Andrew & Polly investigate the science of sneezing, how tissues are made, how the amazing human body protects itself, and how we can all protect each other when we…ah…ah…achoo! Thanks to Wow in the World’s Mindy Thomas for playing “Should I Pick It?” and communicating so much gooey science from her New York Times best-selling book The How and The Wow of the Human Body. And thanks to pediatric surgeon Dr. Willie Moses from UCSF for using his imaginary laparoscope to reveal the secrets of the cellular LEGO kit inside all of us. Thanks to the families who support our work at patreon.com/earsnacks! And thanks to the four fantastic kids — Emily from Scotland, Mila from Wyoming, Valentino from Italy, and Izzy from California — who helped us think about tissues inside and outside our bodies!

Raisins: Are They Great or Gross?
00:20:13 | Season: 3 | Episode: 8 | September 24th, 2021
Andrew knows two people who have a real problem with raisins: Polly and visitor-from-the-Sun Gustafer Yellowgold. Musician/cartoonist Morgan Taylor was kind enough to facilitate this summit of Earthlings and Sunlings in our continuing series about what Treats are (and aren’t.) You can find all of Morgan’s multimedia Gustafer chronicling at gustaferyellowgold.com or listen to his latest audiobook A Cooler World on Audible. Thanks to Morgan, Gustafer, Slim the eel and Stephanie Meyers the publicist for making this a cooler podcast — and a big thank you to our awesome supporters for supporting the work we do at patreon.com/earsnacks! Y’all make this a cooler world indeed. We’ve got more Ear Snacks in store for you soon, but we always want to hear what your kids are thinking about and find a way to invite them on the show — visit earsnacks.org to let us know?
