Hello faithful Squiz Kids listeners and welcome to the Kids vs Adult Bumper Holiday Squiz on Easter.
I'm Bryce Corbett.
All year in the Squiz Kids daily podcast, we've been bringing you the big news stories of the day.
Run through our kid-friendly filter to make sure you know all you need to know about the world around you.
And at the end of every week we've tested how much you've retained in the Kids vs Adults weekly news quiz.
But now, because it's Easter and it's the Easter holidays, we're presenting a couple of bumper Kids vs Adult quizzes to see who's smarter kids or adults.
Plus, we've got all of this week's birthday shout-outs, including the birthday reggae tune, because it wouldn't be a Friday without it.
