Squiz the World goes to ... Netherlands
Each week, we give the world globe a spin, and see where we land. Then we take the kids of Australia on an audio excursion to visit that country and its people. With all the flooding happening in Australia, we thought we'd travel to Europe this week to learn about "The Lowlands" - which is what "The Netherlands" means - and find out how they deal with having more than 1/3 of their country below sea level. The Dutch are serious experts when it comes to dealing with unwanted water. They're also some of the world's tallest people, have a thing for licorice, and, yes... we'll talk about tulips.

Squiz the World goes to... China
Each week, we give the world globe a spin, and see where we land. Then we take the kids of Australia on an audio excursion to visit that country and its people. Today on Squiz the World we're visiting China. We're hearing a lot about it at the moment - because our Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, just held a meeting with the Chinese President, Xi Jinping... President Xi's first meeting with an Aussie PM in six years. It's hoped that the 32 minutes they spent together will lead to a thawing in what's been a tricky relationship lately.

Politics … a total snoozefest, right? Wrong! How our government works and the decisions it makes reaches into almost every part of our everyday lives. So settle in as we explore in a series of podcasts the history of Australian democracy and pull apart how our system of government works .. it’ll be heaps more fun than it sounds. Promise! In this episode, we explore the history of Federation, how Australia became a country, why Canberra was chosen as its capital - and why thousands of meat pies were buried in the process...

SQUIZ KIDS ANNOUNCEMENT: A message from Bryce Corbett about our new subscription offer
Squiz Kids has launched a Squiz Kids subscription offer on Apple podcasts - just in time for the summer holidays. What will Squiz Kids subscribers get? There will be a fun quiz each week where kids can compete against the adults because who doesn't love a bit of friendly rivalry… And for the school holidays, you’ll also get two of our special Squiz Kids Shortcuts each week. They take a deeper dive into a topic in the news and they’re designed to spark kids’ curiosity about the world around them. Topics range from Earthquakes + Volcanoes to Girl Power to Clever Critters to Roald Dahl and Mars… They’re all aligned to the Australian curriculum, and they’re guaranteed to get your family talking. How much? First week is free and then it's $6.99 a month to support Squiz Kids to keep on keeping on. Plus you get more great content, so you know … win-win. How do I subscribe? Squiz Kids Subscriber content is only available via Apple podcasts. I hope you’ll join us as we continue to pique children’s curiosity and hopefully instil in them a thirst for knowledge about the world they’re growing up in.
