Is My Teacher a Secret Spy?

Ruby is convinced something strange is happening at school… and when Mrs North suddenly disappears, things get even weirder. The substitute teacher arrives with a very odd explanation that sends Ruby and the Hat spiralling into theories, questions, and full-blown detective mode. Is this just a normal school day… or is something much bigger going on behind the scenes? In this episode of Hat Business – Fun Stories for Kids, we explore how our brains try to “fill in the blanks” when we don’t have all the facts — turning everyday moments into big, wild stories. It’s playful, funny, and packed with curiosity from start to finish. Perfect for kids aged 4–10 and the grown-ups listening beside them.

The Big Swim Race

Ruby is in the pool. Heart racing. Goggles slightly crooked. Stomach doing Olympic-level flips. Across the lane is Macie a swimmer who moves like a dolphin… if that dolphin had a rocket strapped to its back and absolutely no interest in slowing down. Joining Ruby and Hat for this special adventure are Olympic gold medalist Libby Trickett and Sportish co-host Georgie Trickett, who know a thing or two about nerves, courage and what it takes to keep going when things get tough. But this story isn’t about winning. It’s about the shaky breath before the starting buzzer. The moment you look around and everyone seems bigger, faster and stronger. And the choice to keep going anyway one stroke, one kick, one splash at a time. A fun and inspiring kids podcast about swimming, resilience, confidence, perseverance, bravery and believing in yourself, perfect for children aged 4–8 and their families. Because courage isn’t being the fastest swimmer in the pool… It’s staying in the race when you’re not.

The Job Dress-Up Day

Ruby spends the day trying on costumes that turn her into all sorts of jobs. Each outfit feels exciting… until she starts wondering if she’s supposed to choose just one thing to be when she grows up. Ruby discovers something even better than having the “right answer” curiosity, imagination, and the freedom to try everything on for size. A playful, funny, and thoughtful episode about growing up, exploring possibilities, and learning that you don’t have to figure it all out today. > Love Ruby and Hat?

Tentacles in the deep end big.

Ruby has a problem. A BIG one. Tentacles-in-the-deep-end big. Because there is obviously a Kraken living at the bottom of the pool. Obviously. So while other kids are happily splashing around, Ruby is staying exactly where she is thank you very much: the safe end. The definitely-no-sea-monsters end. But Hat has a different idea. Suddenly the pool becomes a wild ocean and one extremely dramatic imaginary Kraken. And somewhere between the shallow end and the deep end, Ruby discovers something sneaky about bravery: you do not have to leap. Sometimes brave looks like going slow. A funny, adventurous episode of Hat Business - Fun Stories for Kids for kids aged 4–10 or 99 who love imagination, adventure, silly storytelling and tiny courageous moments.
