    But don't cry because you won't be unedumacated for much longer.

    Carrie Quinlan (a VERY clever grown-up) and Andy Stanton (who is also a VERY clever grown-up, thank you, actually) are here to educate the world's children and answer their soft, squashy brain questions using GROWN-UP KNOWLEDGE. It's time to....Ask The Nincompoops!

    Or if you don't have a caps lock button, [email protected].

    And Andy and Carrie will answer them for you on our next exciting and informative series, hosted by two actual GENIUSES for the benefit of the unbright (that's you).

    This podcast is suitable for all the family!
