A cheeky young gorilla from Rwanda busted out some wild dance moves—and now he’s the winner of the funniest wildlife photo of the year! Meet Ozzy, the Oklahoma pup whose tongue is so long it’s now in the Guinness Book of World Records! Squiz-E the Newshound may be on holiday, but the internet never sleeps!

    Bluey levels up, and some mullet magic.
    Dec 9 2025
    Your daily kids news podcast. Bluey levels up; the Swiss yodel to the UN; shed smashes speed record; and some mullet magic From today, kids under 16 in Australia are officially banned from using apps like Instagram, Snapchat, and YouTube. The Prime Minister says it’s to protect young brains and boost real-life fun. Bluey’s stepping off the TV screen and into your hands with her first-ever Aussie-made video game—Bluey's Quest for the Gold Pen! Yodelling—aka musical mountain shouting—is up for world heritage status! Switzerland wants the UN to protect this echoey tradition used by shepherds and singers alike. One UK tinkerer strapped an engine to a garden shed—and zoom! It hit 198 km/h, officially becoming the world’s fastest shed. It’s hair today, gone tomorrow (maybe), as Mulletfest 2025 crowned the nation’s top party-headed champions. Squiz the World goes to... Switzerland For the full episode transcript, click here.

    Chile - Squiz the World
    Dec 8 2025
    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 the Squiz Kids Super Fast Supersonic Jetliner as we lift off for Chile... a country stretched like a ribbon down the edge of South America, where deserts are so dry they look like Mars, mountains tower into the clouds, and icy winds whip across the wilds of Patagonia. From Rapa Nui’s mysterious moai statues, to flamingos tiptoeing through pink desert lagoons, to festivals bursting with colour, dance and music, Chile is a land of extremes and endless surprises. And yes… the empanadas are out of this world. There’s so much to explore — so buckle up and get ready to Squiz the World: Chile. For the full episode transcript, click here.
