Your daily kids news podcast.

Astronaut rescue mission underway; Iguanas raft to Fiji; the world’s longest church build; and dachshunds break a record.

Imagine planning an 8-day trip and staying for 9 months! Two astronauts were stuck on the International Space Station after their spaceship had issues. Now, they’re finally heading home—blazing through the sky before splashing into the ocean.

In Barcelona, builders have been working on the Sagrada Familia church for 143 years! Delays included running out of money and even a civil war. That’s one long construction project!

How did iguanas get to Fiji from South America? Scientists now think they rafted across the ocean—floating on tree trunks for 8000 km while munching leaves.

A town in Germany just hosted the biggest dachshund parade ever, with 897 tiny sausage dogs marching together.
