• Fire and ice in wild summer onslaught, and Crikey! Robert Irwin’s a winner

  Your daily kids news podcast. Fire and ice in wild summer onslaught; Colombia’s sunken treasure trove; AFLW final fever; and Crikey! Robert Irwin’s a winner. Thunderstorms, power cuts, hailstorms and even a cyclone – all in one wild week across the country! More than $30 billion in gold and silver coins has been found on a 300-year-old shipwreck off Colombia. Now there’s a treasure tug-of-war between countries trying to claim it. It’s the AFLW Grand Final and the North Melbourne Kangaroos are facing off (again!) against the Brisbane Lions. Both teams have one win each from past finals – who will roar loudest this year? Rumours are flying that Robert Irwin is moving to the US and selling Australia Zoo – but it’s all fake news! Luckily, Squiz-E the Newshound is sniffing out the truth and teaching kids how to spot sneaky online tricks. For the full episode transcript, click here.

• The Social Media shake-up starts, and Batman makes us kinder.

  Your daily kids news podcast. The Social Media shake-up starts; a big win in the Sumo ring; a self-portrait smashes records; and Batman makes us kinder. Big news from Australia! From December 10, kids under 16 won’t be allowed on social media — including TikTok, Instagram, and even Roblox chats. Apps are already warning users, and you might need ID to prove you're old enough. Wrestling history alert! A 21-year-old from Ukraine, Danylo Yavhusishyn, has won one of Japan’s biggest sumo tournaments! More than 70 years after her death, Frida Kahlo just broke a world record! Her painting The Dream (The Bed) sold for a whopping $55 million — the most ever paid for art by a woman. In Italy, scientists tested kindness using… Batman! When a pregnant woman got on a train, only a few people gave up their seats. But when Batman appeared? Twice as many did! For the full episode transcript, click here.
