Understand the news stories that matter. Be part of the important conversations. And feel confident – whether you’re walking into a date, a work event or a voting booth.

From the creators of the phenomenally successful news service The Daily Aus comes your ultimate playbook for how the world works.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the news cycle and a bit lost without the background to everything that’s going on?

You care what’s happening in the world – but you can’t help feeling you missed the part where the key stuff got explained. What’s a budget deficit? How does voting actually work? What’s the deal with the UN? And what does net zero mean again?

Thankfully, No Silly Questions is here to lay out the facts and principles behind the day’s headlines. Zara Seidler and Sam Koslowski, creators of The Daily Aus – Australia’s leading social-first news service – are like your super well-informed mates who you can rely on to quickly bring you up to speed.

They will plug your knowledge gaps with jargon-free explainers on everything from emissions trading and crypto to interest rates and human rights, so you can avoid the anxiety of asking the ‘silly’ questions and get on with your day feeling more knowledgeable and assured.

About the authors

Sam Koslowski

Sam Koslowski and Zara Seidler are the co-founders of The Daily Aus. In only a few years, Sam and Zara have built a massive social media audience, two chart-topping podcasts, and successful newsletter and video channels in one of the hardest industries to crack – the news. After starting with a vision to bring their friends up to speed with the news, the pair became known for breaking down the complex ideas that sit behind current affairs with simplicity, respect and honesty. Now, they run the fastest-growing youth news company in Australia. They are business leaders, journalists, presenters and commentators, speaking to over a million young Australians every month across social accounts, newsletters and podcasts. In 2022, Zara and Sam were listed in the Forbes 30 Under 30. It’s a unique start-up story still unfolding.
