Episode 29: What is Europe doing about the war in Ukraine
^{00:13:28 | May 24th, 2022}

Russia is the largest country in the world and has got its neighbours all rattled. If you shared a border with Russia, I guess you’d be thinking of protection more than building schools and roads. In this conversation with a 10-year old, we explore answers to questions such as ‘For how long will this spending go on? Or is this like the Jan 1 resolution that adults make when they THINK there is a threat of weight gain and will fizzle away?’

Episode 28: Science – how woolly mammoths and giant kangaroos went extinct thanks to smaller brains
^{00:15:00 | May 23rd, 2022}

When we think of animals that went extinct, dinosaurs and giant elephants and huge marsupials often come to mind. Meteors crashing the earth and people hunting these creatures for their skin and horns are often cited as reasons. Most recently, researchers at Tel Aviv University, and the University of Naples, examined the mass extinction of large animals. They found that extinct species had, much smaller brains than species that survived. Listen to this conversation with a 6-year old to find answers to questions like 'Why did a woolly mammoth of the same size as an African elephant die'?

Episode 27: Wonders of a floating city – nope not Venice – it’s near Busan
^{00:14:35 | May 17th, 2022}

S.Korea, alongwith the UN, has created a plan for a new floating city near Busan. If you are reminded of boats and canals near Venice, you are like million others who think the same! Ancient Venice was built when people fled enemies to live in these swamplands. Today, we are building these floating cities to flee from the risks of flooding near coastal cities and islands. ‘How will these cities get electricity? Can children go to schools?

Episode 26: How Jacky ran 104 marathons in 104 days to set a new world record
^{00:11:23 | May 16th, 2022}

Running in parks, on football grounds or trying to catch that elusive ball before it crosses a boundary in cricket – such fun associated with all of them. But for Jacky Hunt Broersma – there was fun in running 104 marathons in 104 days. She did not pack her bags and decide to run from one of the US, where she lives, to another. Instead she stayed right at home, drop her kids off at school, go run a marathon, get to her day job (a coach), come back home, cook dinner and help her kids with their homework! All with just one leg – she lost another to a disease many years ago, and runs with a prosthetic leg. A huge shout out from the What's new today team to Jacky hunt Broersma and her amazing stamina. If any of our listeners would like to send us a recorded audio message about YOU feel about Jacky's achievements, please share it with us at hello@wsnt.in

Episode 25: The French got a new leader and how they went about it in order!
^{00:18:58 | May 15th, 2022}

Recently the French elected a new President – Emmanuel Macron, for a second term. While elections are more common today than they were in ancient Greece, the French do something that the Brits or the Americans or the Indians do. They elect the person they want to become the President directly. They don't wait around to patiently choose representatives in parliament and hope to God that the representatives would choose their preferred leader. In this conversation with a 12-year old, we explore answers to questions such as 'Why do the French vote on a Sunday while the Americans vote on a Tuesday?' and 'Is voting common only for humans or do animals have democracy too'?Please feel free to shout out your questions or thoughts in an audio format and send the audio file via email at hello@wsnt.in.
