What's Happening Around Me — daily global news, calmly delivered.
WHAM Today is a daily automated news media project that gathers, curates, and narrates global headlines in a calm, ASMR style. It is designed for people who are tired of polarising, sensationalist, or one-sided news — people who simply want to know what is happening in the world, calmly and clearly.
Every day, the pipeline collects articles from hundreds of trusted RSS feeds across the globe, uses AI to select the most relevant and newsworthy stories, rewrites them in a neutral ASMR-friendly tone, and narrates them using AI voice synthesis. The finished video is published to YouTube daily.
WHAM stands for What's Happening Around Me — the question that drives this project: "What is actually happening in the world today, around me and beyond?" A question many people ask at the end of the day, one that's hard to answer without wading through noise and bias.
To deliver the world's daily news with clarity, calm, and consistency — for the thinkers, the seekers, and the sleepless minds who just want the facts.
No editorial agenda. Stories are selected and summarised by AI without political lean or commercial incentive.
Sources from every continent — not just Western outlets. We actively seek diverse geographic perspectives.
ASMR narration. No shouting, no urgency theatre. Just the news, at a pace you can actually absorb.
Published automatically every day. No sick days, no editorial delays, no missed episodes.
