Hello babies, little kids, big kids, and very big kids, this is the long-awaited “Smooth Baby FM” episode!

I have a lot of people to thank for their input into the choices for this episode: Rebecca Brewer, Chlose Mckintosh Murray, Elizabeth McIntosh and Stephen Murray, Emma LaMorte and Ben Marvin, Kate Brown, Nicole Ondre and Kalin Harvey, Lodovico Corsini, Eléonore Jacquard, Michele di Menna, Martin Meert, Sophie Fürse, and Joseph Shabason, to name a few. Not all of your suggestions made it in here but thank you so much for widening my eyes to the surprising sonic world of the smalls!

00:40:00 – 01:02:00 = dance party!
01:09:00 – 01:30:00 = cool down and chill out (with made-up languages and mouth bows)
1:30:00 – 2:00:00 = nap time
