A doughnut emergency, and a Blue Ghost on the Moon.

Your daily kids news podcast. A doughnut emergency; seven years in the saddle; a Blue Ghost on the Moon; and virtual dessert. A spacecraft the size of a hippo has landed safely on the Moon! Built by Firefly Aerospace, the Blue Ghost lander sent back stunning images and is now running experiments for NASA. A little boy in Oklahoma used an old phone to call 9-1-1 for an "emergency"—doughnuts! Listen to the call. Two adventurers are riding horses 30,000 km from Argentina to Alaska! No backup, just them and their trusty steeds. It could take seven years, but with kind locals and strong horses, they’re off to an incredible start! Scientists have made an artificial tongue that can recreate flavors in VR! So far, it can mimic sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami. For the full episode transcript, click here.
