Hey folks! We've been going non-stop for almost three years at Newsy Pooloozi and we're (finally) taking a little time off world news podcasting to do some real world traveling! This week we'll leave you with a darling new storytelling podcast, Suzie with a Z, for curious kids who like mysteries. Then for a few weeks there won't be any new episodes, swaps or even quick dips of news.  But never fear, in July we'll be back in your feed with more wacky world news from your favorite fun news pod, Newsy Pooloozi! 

This week we dive deep with our easy-to-understand explainer on the US debt ceiling crisis, plus a report from Spain on boat-bumping orcas (yes, killer whales are on the rampage), in Australia they debate K-leather (no idea what that is, well, it’s nothing to do with K-pop – you gotta listen to find out more, but here’s a clue: it’s a debate that keeps “bouncing around”) and for anyone bickering over who in their house does the most chores, we have a special report on a new app offering some help.  

This week hear how Georgia Tech creates a centipede robot to help in natural disasters, India completes the world’s highest railway bridge in Kashmir, a 13-year-old with no cell phone becomes a US hero and after hiding behind COVID masks the Japanese take lessons to learn to smile again – plus the world wrap of other headline news and the Fab Fact Quiz!

This week hear about the Spanish researchers who find that giraffes understand basic math, also twilight-zone, cannibal fish wash ashore in Oregon, and hear how about the Cambodian runner winning hearts because she didn’t stop even when the odds were against her and we finish this week with the they tall-tale of the Welsh conductor who was not a duchess in disguise at King Charles III’s coronation!  

This week hear why and how bird drones take flight in New Mexico, a special report from Italy about the Napoli soccer stunner that saw the city party for days, plus a new box jellyfish is discovered in China and hear the silly story of the Spanish map-makers that… lost their way!

Kid News This Week: We have two special reports – one from London and one from the shires (as in the countryside!) – on the grand coronation of UK King Charles III, plus a story of art destruction in South Korea that’s just “bananas” and a Derbyshire cat on the prowl gives real meaning to “cat thief!”

Kid News This Week: India dethrones China as the world’s most populous country, SpaceX Starship rocket explodes during unmanned test – but not everyone is upset, Australia’s Take 3 for the Sea – what it means for you and me and Belgium holds a screechy seagull competition that you have to hear to believe! All that and more this week on Newsy Pooloozi!

Kid News This Week: Hear about the giant seaweed blob – sargassum – heading to the coast of Florida? We have a special report from Florida to explain all. Plus, JUICE rockets to Jupiter – no, not a rocket full of OJ! But a mission to find water (and maybe life?) on three of Jupiter’s moons. Happy Vaisakhi! No idea what that means – we’ll tell you all! And have you heard about New York City’s rat problem? Well, there’s a new sheriff in town aka, the “rat czar!”
