In honor of our show turning 5 (!!) today... 5 Short Wave staffers answer 5(x2) questions from some of our 5-year-old listeners and explain the science ... like they're 5.
SPOILER ALERT: The questions are brilliant, delightful and span everything from how colors work to insects, the formation of Earth and space.
