Children's Corner

The tables are turned this week during Tai Asks Why. Tai answers listener questions, like: Is there such a thing as complete silence? Why is the sun hot? How do we really know we exist? Why are video games so violent? What is fear? Who invented the English language? What is time?

Listeners ask Tai why this week on Children’s Corner, Saturday Dec. 14 at 9 a.m., on the CBC podcast 'Tai Asks Why,' here on Montana Public Radio

“I want to talk about death. About two years ago my grandpa died, I miss him a lot," Tai says. "My grandmother tells me that In the Vietnamese tradition, after a person dies, their soul is kinda’ disoriented for exactly 49 days, but what happens after the 49 days, were does he go?"

In this week’s ‘Tai Asks Why’, Tai turns from science and turns to religion to explore this ultimate human question.

For many it's an awesome thing. People write poetry and Hip hop songs about it. It can take over your body and bend it to its will. It's often a complicated thing. It is love.

But what exactly is love? Where does it come from? And what does oxytocin have to do with it?

Share the love and tune into the Children’s Corner Nov. 16 at 9 a.m. for the award-winning CBC podcast 'Tai Asks Why.' Tai will answer this burning question, or at least give it a heartfelt try.

We've all heard the saying "trust your gut," but is that scientifically accurate? Tai grapples with this idea and wonders: If our guts are making decisions, does that mean there's a brain in our gut?

Trust your heart and tune in to Tai Asks Why on The Children’s Corner, Saturday, Nov. 2 around 8:30 a.m. and we will find out, "Should we trust our gut?"

Zoey’s Coat now sits on a shelf in the milking Parlor. Over the past few years she wore it to help her get through Montana’s winter and the cold nights of spring.

On Friday, May 3 around 6 p.m. I made the decision, along with my veterinarian, Dr. Rollet Pryun, to end Zoey’s life.

For years now I have said jokingly, “a sick goat is a well behaved goat." Well the joke is on me.

To date some of the goats have managed to thwart my attempts to keep them in their pasture and safe.  To them the grass is greener not only on the other side of the fence but especially along the road.

Since they apparently believe, "the grass is greener" and "tastier" on the other side, I installed a sign warning the UPS driver, dog walkers and others passing.
