    Your daily kids news podcast. Recognising Palestine: what it means; Santa’s cycling helpers; Meteorite buzzes Melbourne; and yee-haa it’s rodeo time. Australia’s joined other countries in recognising Palestine as its own state, hoping one day kids in both Israel and Palestine can grow up as neighbours, sharing peace, not conflict. Three super-fit postal “elves” are cycling nearly 3,000 km from Germany to Santa’s home in Finland to deliver letters by hand. That’s Christmas spirit with a side of leg cramps. A meteorite blazed across Victoria, sparking a sky show and a sonic boom. Scientists are on the hunt—because these cosmic travellers can be billions of years old. More than 700 cowboys and cowgirls are showing off at the Mt Isa Rodeo—riding, roping, wrestling, and hanging on for dear life. Helmets on, yee-haws loud. For the full episode transcript, click here.
