We are a mother-daughter team of podcasters who crawl under the bed each week to record our news podcast for kids.Why under the bed? Because the sound is better there (and it makes us laugh)! We live in India but have roots across the world.

But they’re on the threat of extinction, which is why a new study is being launched in the US. Over in Indonesia, though, it’s good news – their echidna mammal has come back from the brink of extinction. India scores another Guinness Book of World Records entry for its many-many Diwali diyas. And up in a northern Swedish city there’s a campaign to be neighborly – by just saying… oh, well, listen to find out!
We give you a special rerun this week of our Autumn Festivals Capsule — from Asia’s Hungry Ghost Festival, Diwali, Guru Nanak to the West’s Halloween, Day of the Dead, Bonfire Night, Thanksgiving and more!
In kids news this week… We’ve all heard of electric cars, but what about electric ROADS? Well, this is happening in Sweden where they’re charging on the move! In entertainment news, find out what new chart – typically dominated by middle-aged men – popstar Taylor Swift enters. And most of us have heard the expression (phenomenon!) of being “Rickrolled,” well in our second offering of Slange Explained we give you the entire wacky backstory. And did you know a small town in Pennsylvania had its very own mummy? Well, not anymore. Find out why on this week’s episode of Newsy Pooloozi!
This week in world news for kids… France is facing an infestation of bedbugs that’s causing national anxiety, Australia rejects a referendum to give Aboriginals more of a “voice” in politics, plus FIFA announces a very mixed-up world cup is planned for 2023 and Austrian researchers discover the curious camouflaging of the Wallace’s flying frog – all that and more this week!
In world news for kids this week… Israel wages war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip after the militant group bombards it with bombs and terror attacks, Kenyan’s marathon record breaker, US fast food outlets sued and a very elderly skydiver tries to break a world record – but just how old? You gotta listen to the pod to find out!
This week in your favorite mix of wacky world news, goats and AI are used to fight fires in California, Swiss glaciers are melting at a record rate, humans have more of a Neanderthal mix than thought and animals are on the loose – from a bear that crashes a Mexican picnic to crocodiles in India and Malaysia that were not where they’re supposed to be, oh, and the alligator “support pet” that was not allowed into a major league baseball game… All that and more this week!
This week in news for kids… Koreans say “Chuseok jal bonaeseyo!” as they celebrate their autumn harvest festival, aka Thanksgiving. Also, NASA says hello to rocks from the Bennu asteroid, completing a seven-year mission to bring back the samples and Australia gets ready to host a Taylor “Swiftposium” – inspired by the US popstar’s songs. Also in Australia – some pets are not allowed to surf – find out which one this week in Newsy Pooloozi!
In kid news this week… We hear the “voices of the ocean” and sounds of the sea (it’s a noisy place!) and find out what they mean, also ancient cave art is discovered in Spain, a stolen Van Gogh is returned in a bloodied pillowcase in the Netherlands and the Laziest Citizen Competition nears a month – of participants just lying down – in Montenegro. All that and more in the coolest pool of news and information!
