Description

Every night, Daniel asks his mom a question.

Why do we call money "bucks"? Why do we get dizzy when we spin? Why do we knock on wood?

The answers are always surprising, and a lot more interesting than you'd expect.

Smile with Daniel is a short podcast for curious kids and the adults who love them.

Real questions. Real answers. No dumbing it down.

New episodes every week.
