Say What?! Kids News & Comedy Podcast (Ages 5-10)
Say What?! is the funny kids news podcast for curious kids ages 5 to 10, built for the morning school run, family car rides, breakfast tables, and bedtime giggles. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, four puppet hosts turn three real, strange, true news stories from around the world into 6 minutes of screen-free family comedy.
Meet the crew: Pip wants to tell you what happened in the world today. Vera is mostly going to roll her eyes about it. Brad is just here for the vibes. And Grump is mostly asleep, yet somehow always says the wisest thing. Together they cover positive science discoveries, weird animal rescues, space missions, and real-world oddities: a goat eating a town's welcome mats, scientists baking cookies from recycled plastic, or a white lobster going to college.
On Fridays, we open the phone lines for our International Kid Caller segment, where a caller from a different country brings a funny local problem and the crew tries their best to solve it.
Stories are 100% real, kid-safe, and parent-approved (zero scary news, zero violence, zero bathroom humor). Everyone is fine in the end, even the goat.
