Wisp Daily

News, dinosaurs, space, big ideas - fresh every morning, for the whole family. Hands-free for the school run, the wet afternoon, or the wind-down.

Wisp is a daily audio podcast for families — fresh every morning, hands-free with Siri, made for the moments when you'd rather not hand over a screen.

WHAT THEY HEAR

Every morning Wisp prepares a new episode. Three or four short news segments and a handful of evergreen topics — dinosaurs, space, weird history, big feelings, how things work. Brand new audio every day, all hosted by Alex and Sam, two friendly UK voices designed for curious young listeners.

— News written for young minds, kid-safe — Topics rotated through 24 evergreen themes — 4–6 minutes per segment, queued automatically — Made for ages 5 to 11

HOW IT WORKS

1. Set your family's favourite themes once (dinosaurs, space, big feelings, weird history, how things work…). Wisp leans into them.

2. In the morning, tap "Today's Wisp" — or just say "Hey Siri, play my daily Wisp."

3. Tell Wisp how long the journey is. It pads the queue with similar episodes from the back catalogue so the show ends just as you arrive. The school run, bath time, a long Sunday drive — Wisp fits.

LUCKY DIP

Don't fancy today's pool? "Hey Siri, lucky dip Wisp" mixes today's fresh content with the back catalogue. Different every time. Perfect for when they want a surprise.

BUILT FOR REAL LIFE

— No accounts. Nothing to sign up for. — Never any behavioural ads aimed at children. — No tracking of listeners. Anything you set up in the app stays on the phone. — Hands-free through CarPlay and Siri Shortcuts. — Works wherever you go — fresh episodes are cached for offline listening.

WHY I BUILT THIS

My son is seven and curious about everything. On the school run we listened to Brains On, Wow in the World, Stories Podcast. We listened to them again. We knew the punchlines. The problem wasn't a shortage of good kids' podcasts; it was that we'd exhausted his favourites, and I wasn't going to scroll Spotify for new ones at the wheel. So I built Wisp.

Independent. No venture capital. No data collection. Just a fresh daily show for the drive.
