Ethiopia… Squiz the World
00:10:49 | Season: 5 | Episode: 1147 | November 18th, 2024

Each fortnight, we give the world globe a spin and see where we land. Then we take the kids of Australia on an audio excursion to visit that country and its people. Join your captain, Christie Kijurina, on an audio adventure. Today, we’re flying to Ethiopia, a breathtaking country known for its scorching temperatures and bubbling volcanoes, incredible highlands and farmland, unique culture and delicious coffee. From the “Roof of Africa” to one of the oldest known human-like fossils and the great Nile River, there’s so much to uncover. So, buckle up and get ready to explore Ethiopia.

Wild weather and silly shirts at APEC; Robo-sharks in China; a crazy sky-high world record; and Lucy, the world’s oldest human fossil.
00:09:17 | Season: 5 | Episode: 1146 | November 17th, 2024

Your daily kids news podcast. Wild weather and silly shirts at APEC; Robo-sharks in China; a crazy sky-high world record; and Lucy, the world’s oldest human fossil. World leaders met in Peru to chat about big issues like trade and climate change. And guess what? They wore traditional Peruvian shawls for a group photo! It’s a tradition that sometimes leads to some pretty special outfits. Ethiopia is partying for Lucy, a fossil superstar who walked the Earth 3.2 million years ago. Discovered 50 years ago, she’s proof humans were upright much earlier than we thought. A robotic whale shark is making waves in a Chinese aquarium. Conservationists love the idea, but some visitors want to see real sharks. Cool tech or fin-tastic flop? Dive in and decide! Slacklining pros balanced 2.5 km above the ground between two hot air balloons! It’s a new Guinness World Record and definitely not a hobby for the faint of heart. Watch the video and gasp!

00:09:15 | Season: 5 | Episode: 1144 | November 13th, 2024

Your daily kids news podcast. Stinky whales and corpse flowers; Paris church bells ring again; AFLW semis are on; and the ghost Halloween parade. Crowds in Geelong, Australia are lining up to catch a whiff of the “corpse flower”—a rare plant that only blooms once every 10 years and smells like a super smelly garbage bin! In Azerbaijan, artists have created a giant, smelly model of a dead whale filled with rotten fish to grab attention during important climate talks. Paris’s famous Notre Dame Cathedral is about to re-open after a big restoration from a 2019 fire. Three new bells have been added to celebrate its return, including one rung by Olympic gold medal winners! This weekend’s AFLW semi-finals will see the Crows and Dockers face off, followed by the Hawks vs. Power. Adelaide’s top talent is shining with both Crows and Power in the semis—grab the popcorn for a nail-biting weekend of women’s footy! Hundreds of people in Dublin showed up for a Halloween parade that didn’t exist, all due to a TikTok hoax. If only they’d used Squiz-E’s tips: Stop, Think, and Check!

Trumpets, guitars, and violins filled the plaza, celebrating the first-ever World Mariachi Congress with this grand fiesta!

Your daily kids news podcast. Social media ban for kids; the great ape escape; Wallabies win in England; and the how and why of Remembrance Day. Australia’s set to put TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat off-limits for kids under 16 next year! The government thinks it’ll protect young minds, but not everyone agrees. Some teens are saying, “It’s not fair!” In South Carolina, 43 rhesus macaque monkeys made a daring escape from a research facility when a new employee forgot to latch a gate! The clever monkeys are hanging around nearby woods, enjoying their taste of freedom while workers try to lure them back with food! Australia’s Wallabies scored a stunning comeback against England, winning 42-37 in extra time! With help from new star Joseph Sua’alii, the team turned around a rough year and silenced the London crowd. Tonight’s Taurid meteor shower promises shooting stars before sunrise! Thousands of space particles from comet Encke will light up the sky in a dazzling show. Patience is key, though—you might see only five meteors per hour, but they’re extra bright, so make a wish!

Trump wins the White House; Kenya’s elephant beehives; Squiz-E’s election sniffing; and a new planet for our solar system.
00:09:41 | Season: 5 | Episode: 1139 | November 6th, 2024

Your daily kids news podcast. Trump wins the White House; Kenya’s elephant beehives; Squiz-E’s election sniffing; and a new planet for our solar system. After months of buzzing rallies and fierce campaigning, the U.S. picked Donald Trump as president once more! Despite polls predicting a tight contest, Trump won big, defeating Kamala Harris. While this won’t change things for Aussies day-to-day, the world is watching America’s next steps closely! In Kenya, farmers are using a surprising defence against elephants munching on their crops: bees! It turns out these giant animals are terrified of bee stings, and beehives keep them away from farms naturally. Scientists think they might have found a ninth planet in our solar system! It’s hiding way out in the icy Kuiper Belt, far beyond Neptune. They’re calling it “Planet Nine” for now. We’ll find out next year when new supertelescopes start looking way out there! With the U.S. election causing a storm of wild rumours online, it’s Newshounds to the rescue! Squiz-E reminds everyone to Stop, Think, and Check what they read, so we don’t fall for fake stories.

Knight’s Choice wins the Cup; a fierce eruption in Indonesia; meet the 3-metre tall “terror bird”; and an ancient Ice Age survivor.
00:10:12 | Season: 5 | Episode: 1138 | November 5th, 2024

Your daily kids news podcast. The Melbourne Cup, Australia’s legendary horse race, was a nail-biter this year! Knight’s Choice barely edged out Warp Speed to claim the win—and a prize of $4.4 million. But not everyone’s celebrating; more Aussies are questioning the event’s impact on horses and fans. Indonesia’s Mount Lewotobi volcano erupted with incredible force, shooting ash and hot lava into the sky. Thousands of people have had to leave their homes. Indonesia sits on the “Ring of Fire,” where volcanoes and earthquakes are common, keeping locals on their toes. Your Squiz Kids Shortcut to… Earthquakes and Volcanoes. It’s election day in the U.S., and Americans are picking their next president! With six time zones in play, votes will trickle in all day. And the winner isn’t just decided by votes—there’s a system called the Electoral College that plays a big role Meet Pando, the world’s biggest tree—a forest of aspen trees sharing one root system! Scientists found Pando is a whopping 34,000 years old, dating back to the Ice Age! But climate and disease now threaten it. Let’s hope this incredible tree can keep growing strong. New fossil evidence shows a gigantic bird once ruled ancient South America—a 3-meter-tall “terror bird”! These flightless predators had sharp beaks perfect for hunting. But even they had enemies: one fossil shows it may have been chomped by a massive prehistoric crocodile! For the full episode transcript, click here.
