1. Why Do Farts Stink?

(In episode 1 we didn't have mics yet so the sound quality isn't the best, but we have to start somewhere! Hope you enjoy!)Why do we fart? Why do farts smell so bad? Why are some of them so loud?In the very first episode of Smartie Pants and the Big Why, Aelish (7) brings a question every child has wondered about - but most grown-ups would rather avoid in public. Together with her dad, she dives head-first into the mystery of smelly farts through silly guesses, outrageous wrong answers, and a silly discussion about tiny fart minions having a party inside your tummy.Along the way, they explore where the smell actually comes from, why some farts sound louder than others (yes… it involves bum cheeks), and the two surprising ways gas can escape from your body. There are fart ninjas, smelly unicorns, smelly bum volcanoes and much more.Every episode is designed for car journeys, kitchen tables and bedtime listening - where children hear someone their own age thinking out loud and not taking things too seriously while parents get to laugh along instead of switching off.At the end of the show, Aelish sets a Smartie Pants Challenge for families to continue the conversation at home: Who does the stinkiest farts in your house?If your home is full of “Why? Why? Why?” then you’re already a Smartie Pants. Welcome aboard!Questions, ideas or feedback?Email us at [email protected]
