Wednesday, February 24 - Facebook backs down; cool videos direct from Mars; when a Tassie Tiger is a wallaby; and Japan’s totally nude festival.

Squiz Kids is a free daily news podcast just for kids. A short weekday podcast, created here in Australia, that gives kids (and their adults) the rundown on the big news stories, delivered without opinion, and with positivity and humour.

‘Kid-friendly news that keeps them up to date without all the nasties’ (A Squiz Parent)

This Australian podcast for kids easily fits into the daily routine - helping curious kids stay informed about the world around them.
