• Happy Pants - January 31 - Mythical Creatures
    Feb 2 2026

    Welcome back to another episode of Happy Pants! This week Geraldine and Rebecca are joined by... this can't be right... a Yeti? No no no, Yetis are mythical animals you can't just find them walking about town. There must be a misunderstanding.

    Anyways, where was I...

    The Happy Pants team are talking about mythical animals such as dragons or unicorns. They cover their myths and why people believe in them. We also hear some fun songs, learn lots of big words and read two stories.

    "Never Feed a Yeti Spaghetti" was taken from the Feelix Library which you can access here through the Vision Australia website. If you are blind, have low vision or a print disability you can become a free member and have story kits delivered to your home.

    Thanks for listening to this episode!

    Dec 29 2025

    It's your lucky day, as Geraldine and Kate have another Happy Pants episode for you! This time their pants are orange, the kind that reminds you of marmalade on toast or the flame of a candle. In their pockets are a series of clues they have to piece together. Today we have some weird items including a horseshoe, clover leaves and a bone... What could they possibly mean?

    Today we get to hear a story read by the lovely Maddie about Ned, who was both unlucky and lucky, hear some fun songs and learn some BIG words.

    Happy listening!

  • Happy Pants - December 13 - The Nose Knows
    Dec 15 2025

    This week join Geraldine and Bec

    As they look in their pockets and have a check

    what Happy Pants has put in there

    and decode what it wants us to share.

    It tells of howls, woofs, barks

    and long walks in the park

    of happy wagging tails

    and stealing the morning mail.

    The crew, even me, is stuck in rhyme

    this doesn't happen all the time

    come sing a song and hear a story

    till everything is hunky-dory.
