Your daily kids news podcast.

Remembering Port Arthur;  a running record tumbles; Chonkers the chunky sea lion; and the world’s biggest snack store

A peaceful gathering marked 30 years since the Port Arthur tragedy. Families and communities remembered loved ones and the changes that followed.

A giant sea lion named “Chonkers” is making waves in San Francisco! Weighing as much as a small car, he wobbles docks and surprises other sea lions.

At the London Marathon, runners smashed records! Two athletes ran the full race in under two hours, something once thought impossible.

A giant snack store is blowing minds! With 35,000 treats, including some very weird flavours. It’s like a theme park for your taste buds.
