    Am I the same me I was five years ago? Science Short
    Feb 20 2026
    In this Squiz Kids Science Short, Christie explores what makes you… you. From the ancient Ship of Theseus to the science of cell turnover, brain rewiring and your gut microbiome, we discover your body is constantly changing. So if your cells replace, your brain updates and even your microbes shift… what actually stays the same? This episode unpacks when babies develop a sense of self, how memory and relationships might form the thread of identity, and leaves you with one big question: Where exactly does “you” live?

    America honours a hero, and helping your grandparents on YouTube.
    Feb 18 2026
    Your daily kids news podcast. Ramadan holy month begins; America honours a hero; the seabird who went to hospital; and helping your grandparents on YouTube. Ramadan is here! Many Muslims will skip food and drink from sunrise to sunset, then enjoy dinner at night. It’s also a time for prayer, family, kindness, and being your best self. Big respect to everyone observing—Ramadan Mubarak! 🌙✨ The Reverend Jesse Jackson, a major voice for Black rights in the United States, has passed away. He worked against unfair rules that separated people by skin colour, and helped push society toward equality. His efforts helped shape history—and inspired future leaders. In Germany, a cormorant waddled up to a hospital door like it had an appointment booked! The poor bird had a fishing hook stuck in its beak, so doctors carefully removed it and set it free. A silly YouTube video tried to scare people with made-up claims about testing grandparents on devices and banning loud grandkids. But it was disinformation—totally fake! Squiz-E reminds everyone to STOP, THINK, and CHECK reliable sources before believing or sharing. For the full episode transcript, click here.
