    Hello and welcome back to Happy Pants. Before I start this description can you keep an eye on my robot friend Hal for a minute, thanks!

    (Pictured: text emoticon that looks like a robot face)

    Okay I'm back, thanks for keeping Hal company.

    In this episode Geraldine and Rebecca talk all things robots! Like my friend Hal, robots can be useful for helping with everyday tasks, like a robot vacuum or a car that drives itself. Today we get to hear some robot sounds, dance along to music and learn lots of big words.

    Geraldine and Rebecca also talk about libraries and how useful they are. Did you know that Vision Australia has a library? It's called the Feelix Library and you can learn about it here to listen to audio books or access large print and braille books. They also have Children's Activity Packs that you can have delivered to your door!

    Thanks for listening!

  • Happy Pants - February 7 - Invisible Friends
    Feb 9 2026

    This week Geraldine and Jo find some cryptic clues in their Happy Pants pockets that lead them on a treasure hunt all around the headquarters. Along the way they listen to some energising music, learn lots of BIG words and hear a story from the perspective of an invisible friend named Kevin.

    Do you have an invisible friend? What's their name? What do they look like? Invisible friends are special because only you can see them and talk to them. Like my invisible friend, Harold, who helps me write the descriptions.

  • 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!
