• The Moon... Your Shortcut

  This is your Squiz Kids Shortcut to The Moon. The podcast where we dive into the who, what, when, where, why, and how of big news stories. It lights the night, pulls the tides, and keeps our whole planet steady on its axis. It’s inspired stories of rabbits, men and cheese in the sky, and for centuries humans have watched it, wondered about it, and dreamed of walking on it. In this Shortcut, we head to our nearest cosmic neighbour... the Moon. We’ll explore why humans are so fascinated by it, how it shapes life on Earth, and what is drawing nations back there. So grab your space helmet and your moon-boots… and let’s get stuck in. For the full episode transcript, click here.
