    A big political break-up, and the mega-quake misinformation.
    May 21 2025
    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).

  • Floods and drought cause chaos, and a record breaking run across Australia.

    Floods and drought cause chaos, and a record breaking run across Australia.
    May 20 2025
    Your daily kids news podcast. Floods and drought cause chaos; Origin debutants step up; record-breaking run across Australia; and could the Pope visit Australia? Australia’s doing weather the wild way! While wild rain floods homes in NSW and closes 40 schools, farmers in SA are battling the worst drought in years. Umbrellas in the east, water trucks in the west! Pope Leo just addressed 200,000 people at his very first mass in Rome as pope! There were kings, queens, and even our PM in the crowd. It's that time again when NSW and Queensland lose their minds over rugby league! State of Origin is here, and this year brings fresh faces to both teams. William Goodge just became the fastest person to run across Australia! That’s over a month of non-stop running — to honour his mum and raise money for cancer. Two and a half marathons every day? Someone get this guy a medal... and maybe a nap. For the full episode transcript, click here.
