Today’s web of stories starts with some spider’s webs, catching more than just flies. We’ll hang loose and surf with the best at big swells, and then travel to the other side of the solar system to hear about a very different kind of ocean. Then, we’ll learn about International Mother Language Day, before plodding over to our Wow of the Week!
Today’s episode starts with a mystery illness affecting the raucous rainbow lorikeet. We’ll hear about people swapping smartphones for older ones, and a teen DJ spinning tracks in front of huge crowds. Then, we’ll spend time with some first nations gamers, before flying over to our Wow of the Week.
Today, we’ll drive around with a road-fixing robot, and tag along with a seasoned snake catcher. Then, we’ll celebrate Lunar New Year before paddling the harbour in specially decorated kayaks.
Today, we’ll meet a quick-thinking kid who helped save his dad’s life! Then we’ll mooooove onto a story about some stuck stock! We’ll also watch some silent movies with a magnificent musician! And we’ll meet a young footy player who is setting an example by standing up for herself.
On the show today, I’ll shell out the details on an odd-shaped egg, and we’ll chat about International Day of Education. We’ll head to the other side of the world to meet the new Queen of Denmark, and then back, much closer to home, to visit the newly-accessible Abrolhos Islands. Then finally, it’s time for the story that made you go ‘wow’ – an eight-legged Wow of the Week.
On the show today, we’ll meet a mini-mathematician and hear her ideas about magpies. Then, we’ll give tired Queensland teddies some TLC, before heading into outer space with a moon lander unlikely to complete its mission. After that, we’ll hear about some awesome work going on a little island down south, before we hear the Wow of the Week.
This summer, we’re replaying some of our favourite episodes from 2023. This episode is from NAIDOC Week.
