SHORT & CURLY is a fast-paced fun-filled ethics podcast for kids and their parents, with questions and ideas to really get you thinking. It asks curly questions about animals, technology, school, pop culture and the future.

Thanks to our two fabulous hosts, Molly Daniels and Carl Smith, there’s lots of time for silliness too. We are also joined by our resident ethicist philosopher and a brains-trust of school children.

SHORT & CURLY is specially designed to be listened to alone or as a family, with questions to think about and time to discuss it together. Listen to the podcast in class or as homework as well and use these resources to explore and expand upon the diverse themes and subjects covered in the podcast/show.

On this episode: Molly has never been afraid of getting a needle because she knows the Needle Ninja will reward her bravery with a basket of Japanese lollies, cakes and toys. Carl has never heard of this person and thinks Molly has been tricked by her mum and dad. But is there any harm in believing in the Needle Ninja? And is it OK for parents to tell their kids stories if it makes them feel better?

Brains Trust from Moree Public School: Haylee, Phoebe, Emily, Ryan, Lucy, and Kailani.
