Newsy Pooloozi - The News Pod for Kids

Special thanks to Amaira and Anaira Mirza for their joint work on this week's fabulous artwork!

Why are fires tearing across the West Coast of America? We break it down. We also shout from the rooftops about our fav science show, Netflix's "Connected," we hear about a rooftop concert in Germany, the loneliest elephant in the world and a fly trap that goes wrong in France.

Hear how the skies are going to crowd with flying cars, jetpack flyers and delivery drones. Also those coronavirus poo fighters triumph in Arizona and it’s game-on for cricket's Indian Premier League.

Hear special guests "Hey Black Child" on race tensions in the US, also about the ocean's mysterious blue holes, Nigeria's dancing sensation and the "cheeky" way to stop lions eating cows.

Hear what Greenland's melting ice cap means for you, the high-tech power of low-tech pencils, Japan's answer to socially distanced haunted houses, the crazy league season in US sports and how it snowed cocoa in Switzerland.

The storm season is creating heavy monsoon rain in Asia and whipping up hurricanes in the Americas, also hear about a Kenyan boy's clever hand-washing contraption and the story of the sly fox and the cat thief all on this week's Newsy Jacuzzi!

In our special Ocean Episode hear the spectacular plans for an underground sea station, what woke up after being asleep at sea for a 100 million years, about lost sailors rescued from a tiny island, why Spanish beaches are surprisingly packed and the blue lobster found… at a Red Lobster restaurant!

We explore the likely “Covid Code of Conduct” when school reopens, hear the show goes on in Austria, how private space travel is making history, about the two Indian schoolgirls who discovered an asteroid and how you can get 3D dinosaurs in your living room, really!

Hear us volley (with a real tennis ball!) the pros and cons about going back to school or not, muse over the cotton candy iPhone Photo Awards and Facebook's "reel" competition for TikTok, plus KFC are digitally printing chicken nuggets (yumm?!) and Burger King think they have the answer to making cows fart less.

Hear about the race to find a COVID19 vaccine and how US college sports are on hold, also how to spot the biggest comet of your lifetime, never mind block your noisy neighbors. Find out about Toronto's drive-in art gallery and an English pub that goes to shocking lengths to maintain social distancing.

Find out why some lemurs and whales are almost extinct, why NASA needs your help, the big fight in video game consoles, the best socially distant event EVER and how the world’s highest mountain is inspiring a cycling craze that's getting a boost because of the pandemic.
