  Your daily kids news podcast. New home for huge croc; Mexico’s liver munching orcas; Paddington Bear’s big musical; and spider robots in Antarctica?

In the ocean off Mexico, orcas are using their super smarts to outwit great white sharks—just to eat their livers! Yuck (and wow)! Paddington Bear has swapped his suitcase for the spotlight in a brand-new London musical! Some people online fell for a wild story about robot spiders landing in Antarctica—yep, really. Thankfully, Squiz-E the Newshound is sniffing out the silly stuff and reminding us all to STOP, THINK, and CHECK before believing anything we scroll past.

• Half Yours makes history, and a lost cow comes home.

  Your daily kids news podcast. Half Yours makes history; Spanish church reaches new heights; an influencer family packs up; and a lost cow comes home. As horses thundered through the Melbourne Cup, jockey Jamie Melham zoomed into history — winning not just this race, but also the Caulfield Cup. That's a double whammy no woman’s done before. Barcelona’s fairytale-like church, the Sagrada Familia, just added a mega tower — making it the tallest church on Earth! One emu raced through traffic like a feathered tornado — confusing drivers and dodging cops in Arizona. Australia’s new age rule means under-16s will soon be saying bye-bye to TikTok and friends. While it’s meant to protect young minds, one famous family is packing their ring lights and moving to London so their teen can keep filming. For the full episode transcript, click here.
