Ten year old Maya and her dad, Jeremy, discuss major news events each week, hoping to inspire other families to discuss the big issues at their dinner tables, on their way to school or, frankly, whenever it works in their busy family lives.

We examine a major event, ask questions of each other and hope to find some answers... and raise more questions!

  • Can Soaring Ticket Prices Be.... Less Expensive?
    May 25 2026

    Olivia Rodrigo. The World Cup. Even a touring production of Les Mis. Ticket sales have become a global business, and the local concert goer is often buying more expensive tickets on the resale market. Maybe this good for consumers who have access to events they want to go to and know that they are getting verified tickets? Maybe it is not so good.... more expensive tickets mean that consumers budgets are focused on fewer shows! We discuss the pros, the cons and what some bands, provinces and countries are doing to bring costs down on this week's WNW!

  • Is the MAHA Moment Over?
    May 3 2026

    Make America Healthy Again!?! It sounds pretty appealing but what is this movement really about and why does it seem to be coming to an abrupt end? Maya and Dad discuss the evolution of the movement, the good and not so good beliefs/outcomes and the reasons for its (word of the week) schism, which may threaten Donald Trump's chances in the midterms and consequently open the door to a world of problems for him. On this episode, one thing is certain, we are making WNW WNW again!

  • We Saw The Melania Movie... So You Don't Have To!
    Feb 15 2026

    Our one word reviews... The Melania Movie was (dad) "appalling" and (Maya) "wasteful." Yes, we saw the Melania movie in an all but empty theatre on a Tuesday night and we did our best to view it thoughtfully and critically, but Melania made it impossible. in this episode, we discuss the controversies surrounding the film itself and we discuss the substance of the film or the lack thereof.
