    Ruby Gets a New Tennis Racquet (and Learns How to Get Better)

    Ruby gets a brand new tennis racquet. Which sounds simple… until you realise racquets have had quite the journey. From heavy wooden beginnings (think: “furniture with ambition”) to today’s much more sensible versions, Old Nan Nan (who is 99 and remembers basically everything) is suddenly VERY interested in giving a full tennis history lesson. Hat is also here. He has opinions. None of them historically accurate. Between the racquet upgrades, the stories from “back in my day” (which in Old Nan Nan terms covers approximately several centuries), and Ruby trying to actually hit the ball, something important sneaks through: You don’t get good at tennis — or anything — just by holding the right equipment. You get good by practising. Repeating. Trying again. Even when it feels a bit wobbly. This episode of Hat Business is for kids aged 4–8 who are learning new skills, getting things wrong, getting slightly better, and slowly realising that’s exactly how it’s supposed to work. Expect: A brand new tennis racquet moment Old Nan Nan’s very dramatic racquet history lesson Hat adding absolutely unnecessary commentary and a simple truth: practice is how you learn Funny, warm, and quietly reassuring like someone telling you, “you’re actually doing fine, keep going.

    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.

    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.
