Mary Field • Common Sense Media Apr 4, 2022

"This podcast is an excellent listen for both kids and adults who are fascinated by exciting facts on various topics. On But Why: A Podcast for Curious Kids kids source the topics through their questions, and the content is presented via language and explanations that make sense to kid listeners (although it could feel dry to some, and it could be a challenge for all kids to stay engaged during longer episodes or those that don't include guests)."
