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.

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…
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.
