About this listen

This week on Smartie Pants and the Big Why, we turn the volume up on one of the animal kingdom’s noisiest puzzles: why do animals make weird noises?


With help from Aelish (age 7), we dive headfirst into a world of barking dogs, mooing cows and pigeons on the attack.


Join us as we stomp, squawk and howl our way through the chaos to figure out what’s really going on when animals make all those strange and wonderful sounds… and whether they’re actually saying more than we think.


Perfect for curious kids aged 5–9 and their grown-ups who have ever been barked at by a dog, yelled at by a seagull, or suspiciously stared at by a cow.
