  • Millions brace for Cyclone Alfred, and the return of the fish doorbell.

    Millions brace for Cyclone Alfred, and the return of the fish doorbell.
    Mar 5 2025
    Your daily kids news podcast. Millions brace for Cyclone Alfred; Return of the fish doorbell; AFL season kicks off; and a record-breaking polar bear swim. Batten down the hatches! Cyclone Alfred is charging towards Australia’s east coast, bringing wild winds, heavy rain, and the risk of flooding. Schools are closing, supermarkets are packed, and sandbags are in high demand. In the Czech Republic, thousands of brave (or bonkers) swimmers dived into a freezing 3-degree lake to break the world record for the biggest polar bear swim. In the Netherlands, fish get VIP treatment! A special underwater camera alerts locals when fish are stuck at river gates, so they can call the city to open the locks. Check out the Fish Doorbell yourself! Remember: only ring the doorbell if you see a fish waiting. Watch out! The internet is flooded with fake videos of Cyclone Alfred—some from storms years ago! Why? Clicks and money. Remember: STOP, THINK, CHECK before sharing! For the full episode transcript, click here. Check out the Squiz Kids website for all of our other Fun, Free and Fresh offerings!

    A doughnut emergency, and a Blue Ghost on the Moon.
    Mar 4 2025
    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 911 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.
