Squiz Kids is an award-winning, free daily news podcast just for kids. Give us ten minutes, and we’ll give you the world. A short podcast that gives kids the lowdown on the big news stories of the day, delivered without opinion, and with positivity and humour.

‘Kid-friendly news that keeps them up to date without all the nasties’ (A Squiz Parent)
 
This Australian podcast for kids easily fits into the daily routine – helping curious kids stay informed about the world around them.

Fun. Free. Fresh. 

Maths Challenge Solution: 
10% of 25 million is 2.5 million, or 2,500,000.
That would buy 250,000 children tickets to a Women’s World Cup match! 

Squiz-E’s questions: 

Why do you think the TV show didn’t report WHEN this incident happened? 

Why do you think the exterminator agreed to appear on the show, almost a year after it happened? 

Why do you think the extermination company keeps reposting different versions of the video to TikTok?
