    Australia's Humpback Highways - Your Shortcut...
    May 18 2026
    Thousands of giant humpback whales are on the move right now along Australia’s coastline… travelling one of the longest migrations of any mammal on Earth. In this Squiz Kids Shortcut, Christie and Bryce head out onto the ocean to explore the incredible “Humpback Highway”, the giant whale migration routes that run along both the east and west coasts of Australia. Along the way, they uncover where humpback whales travel each year, why mums migrate thousands of kilometres to give birth in warmer waters, and how industrial whaling nearly wiped humpbacks out forever. Fasten your life jacket, grab your binoculars, and join us on one of nature’s greatest journeys. For the full episode transcript, click here. For the big people listening, Kate and Claire from The Squiz take a deeper look at Australia’s incredible annual whale migration. Listen here.

  • Mars - From the Vault

    Mars - From the Vault
    May 16 2026
    Mars has fascinated humans for centuries — but why are scientists and billionaires so determined to get there? In this week’s From The Vault episode, we revisit the Squiz Kids Shortcut to Mars and explore the race to send humans to the Red Planet. Discover how far away Mars really is, why it looks red in the night sky, and what makes it strangely similar to Earth despite freezing temperatures and giant dust storms. It’s a story about exploration, curiosity and one enormous question: could the first person to walk on Mars already be sitting in a classroom somewhere on Earth? 🚀🔴
