from Squiz Kids · host Squiz Media

Your daily kids news podcast. Floods and drought cause chaos; Origin debutants step up; record-breaking run across Australia; and could the Pope visit Australia? Australia’s doing weather the wild way! While wild rain floods homes in NSW and closes 40 schools, farmers in SA are battling the worst drought in years. Umbrellas in the east, water trucks in the west! Pope Leo just addressed 200,000 people at his very first mass in Rome as pope! There were kings, queens, and even our PM in the crowd. It's that time again when NSW and Queensland lose their minds over rugby league! State of Origin is here, and this year brings fresh faces to both teams. William Goodge just became the fastest person to run across Australia! That’s over a month of non-stop running — to honour his mum and raise money for cancer. Two and a half marathons every day? Someone get this guy a medal... and maybe a nap. For the full episode transcript, click here.
