Moment of Um answers those questions that pop up out of nowhere. You know, the ones that make you squint a little and go ummmmmmm. Every weekday, you’ll hear a new question sent in by a kid and answered by an expert. Like have you ever wondered why flamingos are pink or how sand gets to beaches? Or, what if bananas are radioactive or how do boomerangs come back?
