• Dire wolves back from the dead, or not, and an epic new theme park.

  Your daily kids news podcast. Dire wolves back from the dead, or not?; Perth girl breaks running record; election fake news on the rise; and an epic new theme park. Scientists have used DNA from an ancient dire wolf tooth to create a wolf that looks like the extinct beast. But is it really a comeback, or just a cool science experiment? Jurassic Park vibes are high. A jaw-dropping new theme park is opening soon in Orlando! With Super Nintendo World, a dragon ride, and magical creatures from Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts, this place is next-level awesome. Seventeen-year-old Leah O’Brien from Perth just ran the 100m in 11.14 seconds, breaking a record that’s stood for 57 years! Aussie junior athletes are on fire. Squiz-E the Newshound is on the case! With elections coming up, social media is full of false info. Remember, not everything online is true—even if it sounds right. Be smart like Squiz-E: STOP, THINK and CHECK before hitting share!

  Your daily kids news podcast. The Minecraft Movie has exploded like a creeper at a party! With $493 million earned in its opening weekend, it’s now the biggest video game movie launch ever. In Alaska, grizzly bears are helping humans by testing rubbish bins for bear-proof-ness! If a bear takes a while to break in, the bin gets the thumbs up. Aussie scientists have created “Peter Pan toads” that never grow up and chow down on cane toad eggs like it’s an all-you-can-eat buffet. Trials start soon — fingers (and webbed feet) crossed! Move over “awesome” — US teens are now calling things “dodgy”, “cheeky”, and “bonkers”! Thanks to British TV American slang is getting a British remix.
