Your daily kids news podcast. The Australian government thinks too much gambling advertising is a problem! They're planning to cut down on these ads, especially during kids' shows and sports. Some want them gone entirely! If this story has raised any concerns for you, here's a link to Kids Helpline. They’re there to help if you need someone to talk to. Philippe Petit, the legendary tightrope walker, is at it again! At nearly 75, he walked six meters high in a New York cathedral. But 50 years ago, he did something even crazier—crossed between the Twin Towers! Watch the trailer to the documentary about this amazing stunt, Man on Wire. Imagine heading back to school, and there’s a bear munching on your lunch! That’s what happened to a teacher in California. Quick thinking and a brave husband saved the day. And yes, it was all caught on camera! Aussie break dancer Rachael "Raygun" Gunn didn’t win at the Olympics, but she sure won hearts! With her kangaroo-inspired dance moves and Aussie spirit, she became a true hero of the games. It’s not about winning, but having fun and staying true to yourself—Raygun nailed it!
