Newsy Pooloozi - The News Pod for Kids

Quick Dip of world news - from NASA investigating aliens and Google dismissing sentient AI and a sweet rescue at a chocolate factory - along with Dorktales Storytime Podcast Hidden Histories episode swap!

In kid news this week we give you a Quick Dip of world news - from parties and politics in the UK, to Japan's food waste cement and the cheese rolling in Gloucester - as well as Cool Facts About Animals episode swap!

This week, we gently decode the US gun debate by understanding the view points of the gun lobby led by the NRA, Congress, legislators on both sides, and also a quick peek into the US Constitution's Second Amendment. 

In other news, we start with the World of WOW, aka science news, on how scientists are working on space sprouts from the moon. Then we move on to robot-assisted surgery and VR medicine, Aussie football microchips, China’s sinkhole oasis - all that and more!
