About this listen

Stay listening after today's podcast as Bryce chats with Stephen Gniel, head of Australia's national curriculum authority, about why media literacy is now part of the curriculum. A big political break-up; Massachusetts’ Magna Carta millions; octopus or pancake?; and the mega-quake misinformation. Even political besties can have a bust-up! After decades as a team, Australia’s Liberal and National Parties have split over energy plans. Now they’re sitting separately in Parliament. Will they patch things up? A super old copy of the Magna Carta just turned up at Harvard Law School — and it’s an original! Once thought to be just a dusty copy, this 725-year-old treasure is worth a fortune. A new sea creature has been discovered — it’s a squishy, pancake-shaped octopus with flappy 'ears'! A comic book author's dream is causing a real-life panic! A wild rumour says a megaquake will hit Japan in July, but earthquakes can’t be predicted by dreams (or doodles). Remember, Newshounds: Stop, Think, and Check before sharing shaky stories For the full episode transcript, click here.
