BIG QUESTIONS FROM SMALL MINDS asks neuroscientists, rocket scientists and other experts questions that seem too massive, complicated or even stupid. Then breaks down the answers so anyone can understand (even ningbats like Tom and Phil).

Obviously, the show’s best questions come from kids.

The goal is to make STEM super engaging for kids. But also loads of laughs. Science can be hilarious and accessible to everyone.

The podcast began when Tom interviewed a professor from Sydney University about astrophysics for his sci-fi novel.

Beforehand, Tom asked his wonderful little kids if they had any questions about the universe, or black holes, or anything... Their questions outshone Tom’s by ten thousand red dwarfs. The professor, being the perfect gentleman, answered their questions (over a glass of wine) in an easy and understandable way. Tom’s kids loved it. And the idea for the podcast was born.
