Your daily kids news podcast.

First week jitters for Aussie pollies; Utah’s underground power station; the action hero in fake news foul-up; and Australia’s top dog.


It’s back-to-school vibes for Australia’s freshly elected politicians! They’ve suited up and headed to Parliament House, where they’re giving their “First Speeches” and getting down to business.

A mega-drill in Utah is tapping into super-hot underground rocks to make clean electricity! It’s called geothermal energy, and it might one day power homes across the whole planet.

Meet Eva, the border collie from Queensland who rounded up cows like a boss and won Australia’s top cattle dog prize!

Fake internet posts claimed some famous celebs had died—but surprise! They hadn’t. Action star Jason Statham and talent judge Simon Cowell are both very much alive. Remember to STOP, THINK, and CHECK before believing wild stuff online.


Send in your questions for Andy Griffiths by Tuesday, August 5, to be in the running to win one of ten copies of Andy’s new book .. AND the best question - as judged by Andy - will win a double pass to see Andy at his Opera House show in Sydney in September.
