    Tanzania - Squiz the World goes to...
    May 11 2026
    Each fortnight, we give the world globe a spin and see where we land. Then we take the kids of Australia on an audio excursion to visit that country and its people. Join your captain, Christie Kijurina, on an audio adventure. Today, we’re flying to Tanzania, a spectacular East African country famous for the Great Migration, where millions of animals thunder across the Serengeti plains each year. Along the way, we’ll climb mighty Mount Kilimanjaro, discover some of the oldest human footprints ever found, explore the spice-trading history of Zanzibar, and learn about the Maasai people and the Swahili language. So, buckle up and get ready to explore Tanzania. For the full episode transcript, click here. ⁠How to make Zanzibar Pizza

    May 10 2026
    Your daily kids news podcast. Minions and Lego in meme warfare; Venice’s arty toilets; UFO files released; and David Attenborough honoured with a wasp. AI-made videos using Lego characters and Minions are flooding the internet during the war in Iran. Experts call it “meme warfare." At the famous art festival in Venice, crowds are lining up to see… toilets. Yep, a bizarre artwork turns toilet water into clean water in front of visitors. The US government released secret reports about UFO sightings, including strange lights spotted by pilots and astronauts. Legendary nature filmmaker David Attenborough celebrated his 100th birthday, and even had a brand-new wasp species named after him! For the full episode transcript, click here.

    Vanquished Viruses and Banished Bacteria - From the Vault
    May 9 2026
    With flu season making its annual return, we’re heading back into the Squiz Kids vault to revisit one of our most fascinating and slightly gross Shortcuts. In Vanquished Viruses and Banished Bacteria, we explore the diseases that once terrified people around the world, from scurvy on the high seas to the Black Death, polio and smallpox. Along the way, uncover some of the strange and surprising ways people tried to treat illness before modern medicine, and explain how science has helped control, and in some cases, eliminate some of history’s most dangerous diseases.
