  • mintunicorn111
    This is great!!
    I once lived in Australia, and I speak Australian English right now. But it turned out where I live people speak American English. So I kind of missed the Australian accent. This podcast has made my heart warm. I love the society, so I love the news. But there are no news that really amuses me…… Except this one!!!!!!! Thank you for making this podcast!!!!!!!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
  • makizomi21

  • Alaska Aurora Mama
    My 5yo adores this podcast
    He asks to listen every time we are in the car. Thank you for a fair and inclusive piece of the news! We’re based in the USA but love hearing a podcast from a different country’s perspective.

    Great podcast
    My five year old really enjoys listening to this podcast. It’s so good even my older kids don’t mind it being on in car. We are listening in the US though I’m originally from UK. I like that Ruby talks about things happening in various countries including Australia.
  • Robdbruin
    Great Show
    My 7 year old daughter loves it!
  • Ccarter0521
    Hi Ruby!
    My 7 year old and I love this podcast! Excellent way to introduce children to the news. Great content and host.
  • Isaiah Bryant
    Bored
    It’s to boring since your episodes are to short but great podcast anyway
  • Biden and The simps
    ITS WAY TOO SHORT MAKE IT A LIL BIT LONGER (sorry for all caps 🧢)
    Hi I know u have heard this before but they are TOO SHORT I’m a ten year old who watches this and it seems like they only adjust it to little kids I fell like they should have more content that does not make me feel like cringing 😬. But don’t get me wrong it’s still a good podcast but it NEEDS MORE. Oh.... a done last thing COULD U PLS MAKE IT MORE INTERESTING 🤔 FOR OLDER KIDS I know I mentioned this but I’m a ten year who likes to watch this so could pls make it suitable thx 🙏🏾 ( sorry for all caps 🧢..... AGAIN) 🙂😬👍🏾🧢🙏🏾👎🏾
  • vacation from your problems
    My 4 year old and I love this podcast!
    This is such a cute show, we look forward to listening every Monday morning. I agree with previous reviewers it would be nice if it was longer. We especially love the science and animal stories, but I would prefer less about marginalized people. I get what they’re doing, but I think it’s too soon to have some of these conversations with young children.

  • Lovely Listner
    I like news
    👍🏻 great love it. Cool stuff guys. Keep it up. Great work. Very informative. Also interesting. (If you are. Wondering why. I am talking. In three word. Sentences or less. Then read. No Talking.) Anyway I love. Your podcast. Awesome job guys!
  • Shutterbug mom
    Leftist propaganda
    Had high hopes, but the first podcast featured a story on the LGBTQ community. Sexual stories of any kind I do not find appropriate for my young kid and are something I would prefer to discuss outside of propaganda found in “news” podcasts.
  • happy;):)
    Decent
    Well I think there’s to much talk about Australia it otherwise it is ok and think about adding some kids from other countries!!!

  • Idaninalevy
    This is awesome!!!
    I love top 5 countdowns and the stories are so interesting
  • jonireviews
    Fun for kids
    My eight-year-old loves this show! Each episode is about 7 minutes long and has five interesting facts pulled from recent news. Many are nature/STEM-related and always G-rated. The news is interspersed with quotes from little kids too, which adds some whimsy. I have to admit that I too enjoy listening with my kid and don’t mind when she requests it every time we’re in the car.
  • chipsahoy10
    Meh...
    There is a lot of information but it is boring.
