Katherine S.'s Tai Asks Why (On TRAX from PRX)
8Enjoy Katherine S.'s Review of Tai Asks Why. I love the podcast Tai Asks Why. It is a great show for all ages, not just kids. With fascinating questions for each episode, it left me eager to listen to the next one.
Tai Askes Why is hosted by a kid named Tai Poole, who asks some of the questions that we all wonder about like: Why do we dream? What happens after we die? How do we fix climate change? Which is cooler, zero or infinity? To find some answers to these “mysteries of life,” he enlists the help of authorities and professionals in their fields of expertise.
The episodes cover super exciting topics and each lasts about 25 minutes. Tai is very articulate and has a very laid-back and silly personality, making his podcast not only educational but interesting and entertaining. It is absolutely enjoyable to listen to his “kid” point of view. Since the podcast is audio only, he uses a lot of inflections and pitch changes in his voice to keep listeners engaged. And he uses music to fill in gaps, which avoids any awkward silences. Tai also has a diverse group of guests, ranging from medical professionals to his little brother, to keep your interest level high. My favorite episode is “What is Déjà Vu,” because we have all experienced it, but I had no previous explanations for it – until now. I look forward to the end of each episode as he includes an original corny bonus song with lyrics summarizing some of the things that he learned.
The purpose of Tai Asks Why is to explore interesting topics from a kid’s point of view and to keep inspiring us to stay curious.
I give Tai Asks Why 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 16. Adults will also enjoy it. This podcast is available at Trax now, so look for it. https://www.trax.fm/tai-asks-why
