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!

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!
