Every kid asks "but HOW does it work?" and most adults say "it just does." Not here. Dad, How Does It Work? is an educational podcast for curious kids ages 7 to 14, where every episode tackles one big question about science, nature, technology, and the world. In a way that actually makes sense to a child. Two hosts play it out like a real conversation: one asks the questions, one explains. The topics are real, the answers are accurate, and the whole thing is built for young minds who never stop asking why. New episodes every week.

And how does something that may start deep underground end up floating above a birthday table? The answer begins with tiny pieces joining into long chains.
