• Ancient caves new beginnings, and the world’s biggest spider web.

  Your daily kids news podcast. Ancient caves new beginnings; world’s biggest spider web;  deer in the tuck shop; and Wicked flies back for box office battle. Five years after a blast destroyed a sacred Indigenous site in WA, plans are underway to rebuild a replica! Inspired by ancient art in France, the Puutu Kunti Kurrama people are leading the healing project, with help from the very miners who caused the damage. A web bigger than your house? It’s real! And, it’s in a cave in Albania! With 110,000 spiders and two species living in peace (instead of eating each other). Kids in Ohio were munching breakfast when BAM! A deer smashed through the window and skidded across the cafeteria like Bambi on ice. The witches of Oz are back this week, and the new Wicked movie is already breaking records! More pre-sale tickets have been sold than any PG movie ever. For the full episode transcript, click here.
