    Feb 1 2026
    Your daily kids news podcast. Moon mission starts its countdown; Falling iguanas in America’s big freeze; here comes Groundhog Day; and Katseye crushes the Grammys. Astronauts are about to zoom around the Moon in the Artemis II mission—the first time humans have gone this far in over 50 years! Florida’s beaches might get snow (what?!), and chilly weather means iguanas are literally dropping from trees! All eyes are on one very furry weather forecaster—Punxsutawney Phil! On Groundhog Day, he pops out to “predict” if spring is on the way. It’s music’s biggest night—The Grammys! Katseye joins stars like Sabrina Carpenter and Kendrick Lamar to battle for big-time awards. For the full episode transcript, click here.

  • Burke and Wills - From the Vault

    Burke and Wills - From the Vault
    Jan 31 2026
    It was the most expensive, ambitious — and disastrous — expedition in Australian history. And somehow, it’s also one of the most famous. In this From the Vault Squiz Kids Shortcut, we rewind to 1860 and follow the ill-fated journey of Robert O'Hara Burke and William John Wills, who set out to become the first white explorers to cross Australia from south to north. What followed was a trail of poor planning, bad decisions, ignored advice — and heartbreaking consequences. Listen carefully — there’s a Squiz at the end.

    Jan 30 2026
    How many generations have lived — and how do we even count that? In this Squiz Kids Science Short, Christie explains how scientists use generations to measure time, why humans have racked up around 12,000 of them, and how today’s population explosion makes our moment in history a very unusual one. A quick, mind-bending look at humanity’s place in deep time.
