# Show HN: MyFirst.News – AI-generated podcast for curious kids > Source: > Published: 2026-08-15 16:14:11+00:00 Sam and Leah explain a powerful earthquake in Indonesia, an operation against illegal gold mining in Peru, a French court decision about social media, Google’s encrypted-data tool, and a health response in Myanmar. MyFirst.News is a daily news podcast for curious kids. Sam and Leah explain important true stories in about ten minutes—clearly, factually, and without graphic detail. Every episode ends with a question to discuss together. Grown-ups can read how it’s made. Sam and Leah explain the C919 passenger jet’s first international flight, an oil slick on Iran’s coast, hot weather in parts of Europe, and the Perseid meteor shower. They separate what is confirmed from what people are still checking. Sam and Leah follow a planned coalition withdrawal from Iraq, Zambia’s election count, a train derailment near Lewes, a possible black-hole-star model, and Nine PBS’s effort to recover its archive. They ask how evidence changes when a plan, count, investigation, or recovery is still underway. Sam and Leah follow the evidence: an earthquake in Colombia, a total solar eclipse, health workers tracing an Ebola outbreak, Robert Gilman’s return from Russia, and a privacy complaint about camera glasses in Germany. Along the way, they ask why early reports change, how predictions work, and what makes recording clear and fair.
