Here's two more underwear stories that aren't in the the book I See Lincoln's Underpants (which is now available!) First Benedict Arnold betrays the American Army but gets caught thanks to something hiding in someone's underwear.

In addition to having faces that look like a smiley emoticon, axolotls are as fascinating to scientific researchers as they are to kids because of their amazing ability to regenerate parts of their bodies, including their brains! In this episode we answer kids' questions about these curious salamanders with Dr. Randal Voss, a professor at the University of Kentucky. That lab alone has thousands of axolotls, but these creatures are critically endangered in the wild, where they live exclusively in the depleted and polluted waterways of Mexico City’s Lake Xochimilco. Questions we tackle in this episode: How do axolotls regrow parts of their brains? What did axolotls evolve from? Can axolotls survive out of water?

Hello, dear listeners.This is Matthew. For the past 2 years, I have been the one in charge of making podcasts at A Kids Co, including episodes for the show you’re listening to right now.Making shows for you is the greatest because making stuff for kids is the greatest.But we all need to find time to rest now and then, and to let our projects and our ideas rest, as well.This show is going to be taking a break. This will mean that there will not be new episodes coming out for, at least, a little while. In the meantime, you can go back to all of the episodes that have come out before today.Find a favorite. Listen with a friend. Notice how, when you hear something again, it’s different. Maybe because you’re different. A little older. Or maybe because you hear something that you didn’t notice before.That’s always been my favorite thing about working with kids. YOU are a little different each new time you visit.Happy listening. Always....moreCopy Link

This episode is all about resting! No, not naptime, musical rests, or silences in melody and rhythm within a piece of music. We listen to the Sweet Potato theme song WITH and WITHOUT rests to begin the episode. You can really hear the roll rests play, giving space, groove and breathing room within a song. Some of our listener friends attempt to sing popular songs with no rests and find it's quite difficult! The U-Tubers - Cory Carrot, Olivia Onion, Sweet Potato, Benny Beat and Tori Turnip, break it down for us even further by letting us hear a song part by part so we can hear how all the different rests in each instrument create an interlocking structure that makes music funky! We sing a brand new song about a noisy robot who unfortunately keeps breaking down, and of course check in with Reggie Watts, who is, you guessed it, RESTING!
