A dachshund named Veeta discovers a secret underground maze in her own backyard, a South Carolina town races beds down Main Street (and gets everyone soaked), and we meet the world's heaviest parrot, the kakapo, fresh off its best baby-hatching year ever recorded!

Three true-but-silly stories for kids. A whole English village cheers on the slowest race in the world, where real snails creep across a circle and the winner gets a shiny cup stuffed with lettuce. A secret blinking code on the roof of a tall office building is finally cracked after three years, and the hidden message turns out to be a picture of a flower. And two very rare baby echidnas, called puggles, are born at a zoo, showing that a couple of furry animals really do lay eggs. No caller today (not Friday).

Three true (but very silly) stories for curious kids. A town in Colombia builds the biggest piggy bank on Earth, so big you can walk inside and climb up to a lookout on its nose, and the coins help shelter animals. A library book comes back 46 years late in the mail with a tiny note that says sorry. And a man planning a camping trip spots a giant round hole on a map that turns out to be a space rock crater from 390 million years ago. Made for ages 5 to 10.

Three stories for curious kids. An artist covers a whole museum floor in peanut butter (on purpose!). Hundreds of Santas gather in a Denmark town in the summer heat. And a 1,000-year-old sewn cloth, a giant hand-stitched 'cartoon strip', travels secretly to England. Big energy, kid-safe, and a little bit of wonder.

Pip wants to tell you what happened in the world today. So does Vera, but she's mostly going to roll her eyes about it. Brad's just here for the vibes. And Grump? Grump is mostly asleep but somehow…
Welcome to Say What?! — the only daily news show for kids 5 to 10 where the news is real and everything else is also somehow real. Every morning, the four hosts dig into three of the strangest, funniest, most "did that actually happen?" stories from around the world. A goat eating a town's welcome mats. A truck full of bees loose on the highway. A robot delaying a flight to San Diego.
On Fridays, things get wilder. We get a caller from somewhere different in the world — China one week, Brazil the next, Jamaica the one after — and we try our best to help them with a problem that only really happens in their country.
Stories are real. Reactions are loud. Everyone's fine in the end (even the goat).
Made for car rides, breakfast tables, and bedtime giggles. About 5 to 7 minutes per episode. A new one every morning.
