What this episode covers

Your daily kids news podcast. Frozen trees and koala conservation; Vampire bats love to cuddle; Sydney’s big wet and astro-turfing; plus a big week for K-Pop Demon Hunters. Scientists are freezing rare trees to protect them from deadly fungus (just like sci-fi heroes!), and koalas are bouncing back in NSW with a surprise baby boom. You’d think false vampire bats were scary little beasties—but surprise! They’re actually super snuggly. Scientists caught them on video giving each other big bat hugs. K-Pop Demon Hunters is everywhere! From chart-busting soundtracks to wild sing-along cinema nights—and now maybe even sequels, a musical, and a live-action movie! Sydney just had its soggiest August in 27 years, and weekend sports have taken a hit. Councils are considering swapping grass for turf—but will muddy fun ever be the same again?
