I'm Tahi Nia-Ra. Good night. The world is quiet now.

Original music composed by Michael Tjanaka.

A calm bedtime story for kids aged 4 and up. The silver light Lina saw yesterday is right outside her window now. It isn't a star. It makes a tiny sound, hides behind the ship, and dances when Lina hums. Then it swims away into the dark. And comes back.

A voice, a story, and a small song Lina hums to herself. The pauses are part of the story.

Lina sets off every other Wednesday. Roa comes every other Friday, and Vega comes every Sunday.

I'm Tahi Nia-Ra. Good night. The world is quiet now.

Lina's song "A Whole Little Sky": words by Tahi Nia-Ra.

Roa and Wurffi have a base with a really good roof. Big. Flat. And no way to get up there. So Roa builds stairs. All day. Seven steps, a landing, one piece that won't fit, and a friend who would rather lie in the grass.

The first story of a new series in this feed: Roa & Wurffi — One Planet Further. Roa is six, and he tells you himself what happened today, once the day is over. A bedtime adventure for ages 5–9.

Roa comes every other Friday. Vega comes every Sunday. Lina comes every other Wednesday.
