Hello and welcome to The Week Junior Show.
I'm Bex and I'm joined by writers Eve and Joe from The Week Junior, the magazine making sense of the world for 8 to 14-year-olds.
Now, in a week where Poland elected a new president and Andrzej Gatwa said farewell to Doctor Who, we're going to be discussing some of the other stories, events and people that inspired The Week Junior team.
Make sure you're listening closely, because at the end of the episode we'll be asking you a question about what you've heard.
If you answer it correctly, you could win a prize.
But first, Joe and Eve, there's something I'd like to talk to you about.
On the 11th of June, it's International Day of Play, which you can read about on page 21 of this week's magazine.
And it got me thinking.
I want to know what was your favourite way of playing when you were younger.
Joe, do you have something good?
Yeah, yeah, I think so.
I mean, do you guys remember a game called What's the Time, Mr. Wolf?
Yes.
Maybe correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I can remember, I was very young when I played this in the playground.
But someone's picked to be the wolf.
And then they turn their back and I think everyone else has to move quite a distance away from them.
And then everyone else says, what's the time, Mr. Wolf, over and over again.
And if the wolf says it's five o'clock, they have to move five steps closer.
And eventually the wolf will say dinner time and turn around and there's just chaos because the wolf has to run around and capture them and, I suppose, eat them.
Well, not literally.
I remember playing that game, but mostly what I remember is the adrenaline.
I had the absolute fear I would be caught.
Yeah eve, how about you?
So i used to love a classic.
Hide and seek was always a good one to play, although not when sometimes i'd play it with my friend tilly, and i feel like she wouldn't always come and find me just for a laugh, like her and her sister would go and do something else and leave me hidden.
But we are still good friends now, tilly and i.
But something else we used to do was we used to use her ipad to make short films, which was always really fun, but sadly i think they've been lost somewhere so can't see those short films anymore.
Oh my goodness, I would pay to see those short films.
I'd be fascinated.
If anyone finds them, let me know.
I love this.
Similarly, when I was little, I would make radio shows.
So because I'm a radio presenter now, this is good, because it means I'm living my childhood dream, I suppose.
But I would play music and then speak in between the songs and then pretend I had guests coming on, which I absolutely didn't.
I also did a lot of pretend.
So I used to have my own fake fish and chip shop where, instead of fish and chips, I'd sell pegs blue for fish and yellow pegs for chips.
And I'd also have a fake shoe shop as well.
I just sell my parents shoes, of course, to nobody, because who was going to buy shoes from me in my living room?
Yeah, what a fun game that was, and we want to hear what our listeners are up to as well.
So tell us your favorite game to play with your friends or family.
Just email hello at theweekjuniorcouk or leave us a voice note at funkidslivecom.
Slash theweekjunior.
All you've got to do grab a grown-up, look for the big red button and record your voice.
And if your voice note is played next week, you could win a Week Junior Roving Reporter badge.
Now, last week, we asked listeners what sports they'd like to try out one day.
And we got one little voice note here from Annie.
Hello, my name's Annie and I'm in year four.
I really want to try out diving because I saw it on the Olympics and got really inspired.
By everyone.
I would agree.
I love watching diving.
I don't think I'd be very good at it, but I think I love the way when they dive, like it makes no ripple in the water.
So, yeah, I agree with you, Annie.
That would be so cool.
Yeah, that's a great shout.
OK, we've got one here from Lucas as well.
Hi, Junior.
My name is Lucas and I would like to share what sport I should try out.
It's rugby, rugby.
Joe, have you ever fancy taken at rugby?
Uh not personally, i don't think i'm really the right build for it, but i say, go for it.
Uh, go for it lucas, because personally i used to really not like rugby and then i went to university in wales where it's a national sport and a lot of my friends were really into it um, and i really quite like it.
Now i watch the six nations when it comes around, so i'm no longer anti-rugby, i'm uh kind of a fan of it, Excellent.
Well, maybe we'll be seeing Lucas on the pitch in future.
And I think we've got a voice note here from Jack as well.
Hi, Week Junior.
I'm Jack.
And if I could be good at any sport, it would be skiing and ice hockey.
Bye, Week Junior.
Skiing and ice hockey.
Oh, my goodness.
What a voice note.
Jo, I feel like that's right up your alley, isn't it?
Yeah, yes.
I've actually mentioned both skiing and ice hockey on recent episodes of the Week Junior show.
I think ice hockey was in relation to wanting to learn to ice skate.
You can't really play ice hockey without learning to ice skate first.
So I hope the listener has understood.
Got his ice skates ready and knows how to ice skate absolutely well, we love getting your voice notes.
They were all incredible.
Thank you to jack lucas and annie for sending us all of those.
And yeah, if you want to tell us your favorite way to play this week, send us a voice note, just go to funkidslivecom.
Slash the week, junior.
Now let's turn our attention to the latest magazine, because i want to know what's been in the headlines this week.
So eve, what have you got for me?
So this is a very good story about taylor swift, because on the 30th of may, Taylor Swift announced that she now owns the original recordings of her first six albums, which is the first time she's owned all of her music, and it marks the end of a battle that's been going on for about six years.
And so this all started because, when Taylor Swift was 14, she signed a deal with a music company called Big Machine.
And under the deal, they owned the original recordings of the songs from Taylor Swift's first six albums.
And the owner of the original recordings can control how songs are sold, played or used in TV and films.
But when the deal ended, Taylor Swift moved to a different music company.
And then, a year later, the original recordings from those albums were sold to another company, and then they were sold to another company again.
And both times Taylor Swift said that this happened without her knowledge.
So in response, she started to re-record the albums and she named each one Taylor's version.
And between 2021 and 2023, she re-recorded re-released new versions of four of her albums.
But after she said she owns all her music, she said in a letter to her fans that she's endlessly thankful.
And I just think it's amazing because when I was writing this story, I read that Taylor Swift is actually the most streamed artist ever on Spotify, which I just think is crazy.
I can't believe it.
I love how popular she is.
I mean, a lot of those streams will be from me, to be honest.
Easy to find.
I like a few of her songs, yeah.
I wouldn't classify myself as a Swifty, but I'm probably not as big a fan as you are, Bex.
Wow.
I just think she speaks to everybody, Eve.
Yeah, really, really interesting.
Joe, what's a story that you've seen in the news this week?
Well, there's a story on our UK news pages about a council deciding that from autumn next year there'll be a change to the length of school holidays for some schools in Surrey England, pupils will be given a two-week autumn half-term instead of one week, with the extra five days being taken away from the summer holiday.
It follows a survey in which 60 of the schools that responded said they were in favour of a two-week half-term.
So, yeah, great for kids, I guess, over half-term.
Maybe not so good over summer, but all change.
Yeah, and I'm sure some teachers will be happy as well to get extra time elsewhere.
I'd be interested to see how that works out.
Brilliant.
Thanks, guys.
Now, moving on is the bit of the show we've all been waiting for.
My favourite part, in fact.
This is my weekly test to see if I can work out what's real and what's rubbish.
This is, well, factual fake news, real or rubbish situation.
I'm going to be told a story.
I have to guess if it's true or false.
Joe, I believe it's your turn this week.
It is.
It is.
And this week's real or rubbish is about a speeding duck.
The speedy animal was captured zooming past a speed camera near Switzerland's capital city of Bern.
It was traveling at more than 30 miles per hour, which is well over the speed limit of around 19 miles per hour.
Now, funnily enough, a similar duck was clocked flying past the same spot, at the same speed and on the same day of the year, way back in 2018.
So it could be a repeat offender.
I love the reaction.
It is a great story.
Thanks.
Is this a lame duck story or have we just gone quackers?
I was going to say quackers.
I'm so glad one of us did.
Let's get that out there.
We had to say that.
OK, so sorry, the duck was caught going.
Was it flying really quickly?
Yeah, yeah, flying.
I'm just checking if I'm running.
OK.
No, no.
I mean, that would be terrifying.
A duck running at 30 miles per hour, I'd be genuinely nervous.
So the thing that's got me here is that it happened in 2018 on the same day.
Yeah, I mean, that's just baffling.
I mean, if it is the same duck, it's almost like it's planned it, isn't it?
For some reason it likes that.
It's grand revenge.
Yeah, I mean, it's almost kind of a useless coincidence, but it makes it almost slightly spooky.
I don't know.
That's what it is.
I think finding that out that it happened on the same day makes me worry about what does it mean?
Whereas before I was like... Maybe the ducks know more than they're letting on.
Yeah.
Yeah, maybe there's just a lot happening in the duck calendar on that day that we had no idea about and he was like in a rush to get somewhere.
Yeah, it's his best friend's birthday.
I'm late again.
We've got to go really quickly and it's the quickest route to get to the pond and nobody realised.
That is a very good explanation actually.
So the reason he was obviously caught was because he was going faster than the speed limit, right?
Yeah, yeah, and he was clocked by the speed camera, photographed by the speed camera.
Yeah, just whizzing past.
Do we have a name for the duck?
We don't have a name for the duck.
You can think one up, but no, there isn't a name for the duck.
Speedy, Whizzy, Zoomy.
Lightning McQuack.
Oh, nice.
Yeah, that's Lightning McQuack.
That's excellent.
I don't know how fast ducks fly.
That's my problem, is that I don't know how ridiculous it is to be caught by a speed camera.
No, I don't know.
I mean, the speed limit is around 90 miles per hour, so it's not particularly quick.
I mean, I think you can see bicycles whizzing around in the UK faster than that, don't you?
So it's quite a low speed limit is what I'm saying, because most places in the UK outside of London are 30 miles an hour, or at least in England are 30 miles an hour, aren't they?
So I mean, I still don't know if it's extraordinary for a duck to be going faster than 90 miles per hour, but
There is a picture and it's quite impressive.
There's kind of the impression of great speed in the still photo as the duck kind of zooms past.
Oh, my goodness.
But then again, I don't know whether that I mean I haven't seen the picture.
So I don't know whether the picture is that you're describing is made up, because maybe Dave from your department has conjured up a lovely picture of a fast duck.
I'm not too sure about this and I don't trust you at all, Joe.
So while I have a think about it.
Let's go for our book of the week.
And we've got a message here from the author, Phil Earle.
Tell us a little bit more.
Hi there.
This is Phil Earle here, the writer of When the Sky Falls, and also The Dawn of Adonis, which is out now.
It's a tale set in Edwardian England.
And I wanted it to be a rip-roaring adventure that takes in both the highs and the absolute lows of London at that time.
There's a smuggled guerrilla The most sinister, evil bad guy you could possibly meet.
And also a young man who might just be going on the most incredible journey.
But growing up, interestingly, I wasn't a huge reader of novels.
I found novels incredibly difficult.
They were too long, too wordy.
I didn't have the confidence or the staying power to get through one.
The game changer for me was comics.
And one in particular a football comic called Roy the Rovers, which was 32 pages full colour, every week and I used to devour it the second it came through the door.
Not just devour it once, I would read it 10, 20, 30 times before the next edition arrived next week.
So don't be afraid to look out for different ways of reading.
It doesn't have to be a novel.
It could be comics, it could be graphic novels, it could be an audio book, it could be articles on the internet.
Find the things that you love to read and read as many of them as you can.
Good luck.
What a great message from Phil.
That's incredible.
And also, yeah, Roy of the Rovers is a classic in case you've not heard of it.
I personally was a big fan of the Beano when I was a kid.
So yeah, comics, graphic novels, always important.
And if you want a chance to win a copy of The Dawn of Adonis, stay with us until the end of the show and you can find out how to enter our prize draw.
Now, while we were talking about that, we were joined by returning Flora.
Assistant Editor of the Week Junior.
Welcome back to the show, Flora.
And lovely to see you.
What news do you have for us?
Well, lovely to be back.
And I've just been back for a couple of weeks now after I had my baby.
And I've got straight back into the Week Junior Book Awards, the third Week Junior Book Awards, which is very exciting.
And this week in the magazine we have revealed the 63 books that have been shortlisted for those awards.
So we've had loads and loads and loads of entries and we have whittled them down to these 63 that are in 12 different categories, from animals and nature, audio books, STEM books, younger fiction, older fiction.
There is something for everybody.
Graphic novels, Phil, I'll be pleased to hear.
So these books basically just celebrate the best books for children being published right now.
And there are 14 awards in total to be won.
And this includes two categories where we're asking you guys to get involved.
These are our Children's Choice Award and the cover of the year.
And you can find out all about those in the magazine.
This week, we've got Animals and Nature category featuring on page 25.
So again, look out for that and see what the shortlisted entries are.
And the winners of all these awards will be revealed on the 29th of September.
And I believe that here in the room, in the podcast recording room, we have some judges.
Is that right?
You do, you do.
And Joe, how's it going being a judge?
It's good.
With great power comes great responsibility.
Deal.
But obviously, I am taking it very seriously.
And it's you know.
It's a great honour and it's a privilege to be be able to judge the books, and I've been delivered my books now and I'm busily reading through them.
How many have you got to read?
I've got five to read the breakthrough category, so it's the up-and-coming authors kind of the newest, the newest names in children's writing, and I'm really looking forward to getting together with the other judges in my category and having a good old conf lab and a good old discussion about what we liked about the books.
Yeah, I think being a judge is quite exciting because you know it means a lot to the authors nominated.
And the Wheat Junior Book Awards are fast becoming one of the big fixtures in kids book year basically.
I am very, very excited about this.
And so Flora just remind us again where we can go and vote for all of the choice awards from the listeners and the readers.
So the details of that is all in the magazine.
But just to put it on the record here, it's tinyurl.com forward slash TWJ hyphen voting.
That's for the cover award.
And then for the Children's Choice Award, you go tinyurl.com forward slash TWJ dash choice.
But that might be a bit of a mouthful.
So yeah, just look in the magazine and all the details are there.
There are also QR codes that you can scan just to get straight to the websites.
And yeah, start investigating what books you'd love to read this summer and get voting.
Amazing.
Well, thank you so much, Flora, for bringing that to us.
And yes, welcome back to the podcast.
Thank you.
It's time for this week's big debate, and the question is should shops be responsible for recycling?
So eve and joe will go head to head to take on a side from each of this argument and before we hear from them, here's some information you need to know.
Fast fashion is the name for clothes that are made quickly and cheaply.
Some materials used in fast fashion, such as polyester, polycotton and nylon, take hundreds of years to decompose.
There are more than 100 billion pieces of clothing produced each year, and around 65 of them are thrown away within a year.
Many items are sent to Ghana, a country in West Africa, where they cause all sorts of environmental problems.
And earlier this year, a campaigner called Wendy Ward started a campaign to get shops to hashtag take it back.
She sends the item back to the shop along with a letter and asks them what they will do with it.
So...
Should shops be responsible for recycling?
Eve is team yes.
Joe is team no.
They've each got 60 seconds to make their case.
And Eve is going to go first.
Who says that shops should be responsible for recycling?
So let me get my stopwatch up here.
Whenever you're ready, Eve, take it away.
OK, so firstly, I think, you know, shops have really helped to create this problem.
And so they should be the ones that are taking some responsibility to help sort it out.
You know, they make money when they sell the clothing items.
So they could use some of that money to make sure that things are actually being properly recycled.
And then maybe if they did the recycling themselves, it might make them realise that actually it's an awful lot of work to do it.
And then maybe this would encourage them to be more responsible in the first place.
Maybe they would then order less clothes or sell less clothes to begin with.
I also think it's really important that customers understand shouldn't be blamed for buying fast fashion, because if cheap clothes are available, sometimes that's all people can afford.
And so they're going to continue buying them.
So instead, the shops responsible for causing the problem in the first place should be coming up with solutions to the issue.
And I've gone for under a minute this time because I think the other week I like, rambled and rambled and went over.
Lovely stuff.
OK, I was I was like, oh, there must be more.
But no, concise.
We love it.
But now it's time for Joe to disagree and to argue.
So, Joe, take it away.
Well, Eve, respectfully, I disagree.
People need to take responsibility for their actions.
If we all bought less, then it wouldn't be a problem.
The fast fashion industry exists because people want to buy clothes and other things cheaply.
And look, what's a good way to make shops change their ways?
By changing our own behavior.
If we all had healthier shopping habits, then shops would stand up and take notice because they'd have no choice.
The public should also put more pressure on governments to act.
Government-backed schemes in Spain, Italy and France have projects that responsibly get rid of materials through recycling.
In Sweden, experts have spent 10 years developing the technology to build a mill that recycles materials.
So, come on people, get campaigning, start buying less and change your ways.
Oh my goodness, a call to action there.
Thank you very much, Joe.
I've got to say...
A part of me does think like, it's up to us.
We've got to take responsibility for ourselves, right?
You can't say, oh gosh, there shouldn't be so much fast fashion if you're partaking in it.
I suppose if you're buying the clothes.
It would be helpful to have the shops to help us out, but...
You know what?
Maybe we should all just pitch in.
We should all recycle.
But of course, as usual, luckily, it's not my opinion that counts.
I want to know what the readers and the listeners think.
So we want to hear your verdict on this week's big debate.
You can get involved.

Now, last week's big debate was about whether people who drive suvs should pay more money to use them.
So what did our week junior listeners and readers vote?
Joe well, 60 said no.
They shouldn't pay more money to use them because it would be unfair.
Interesting okay, any opinions in the inbox?
Yeah, so one person said SUVs are a luxury that many people can't afford.
Owners should be prepared to pay more for them, which is an interesting point.
Someone else said people might rely on their SUV cars for transporting friends, family and heavy luggage.
And all SUVs are different.
Some are more harmful than others, which is also a very interesting point.
Yeah, okay.
So I really love that people get involved in this one.
So like I said, if you want to vote, go to theweekjunior.co.uk slash polls.
Now we've heard from the Week Junior readers' opinions on the big debate, and editorial assistant Elena is here to share a few of the messages that we've received from readers this week as well.
So hello, Elena.
Hello, Bex, and hello, listeners.
We've had many messages from our readers and many voice notes and, as you'll know by now, we love voice notes.
Listen to Sahra's experience of making a stuffed crust pizza, which I really like because I've had the exact same thing happen to me before.
Hi, my name is Zahra and I'm 12 years old and I live in Liverpool.
Yesterday, I made my first stuffed crust pizza.
It was really fun making it.
I just thought I have to just fold the dough over and fill it with cheese.
And I did that and I watched in the oven the cheese was literally dripping on the baking tray, because I told my mum to put a baking tray under the oven because the cheese was dripping so much.
And when I took it out of the oven, It was steaming hot, but it was really delicious.
I really enjoyed it.
Thank you.
I would want to have that pizza so much because I love cheese and a stuffed crust pizza is my dream.
To be honest, I'd be eating cheese that went down on the baking tray.
I'd be eating anything else I could find on that.
It's really impressive.
I also tried to make it, as I said, a few months ago.
I even tried to use different kinds of cheese for the different sides of the pizza.
I was really ambitious in this, but in my case it did not turn out well and it wasn't as delicious as Zachra's.
Well, thank you so much for that voice, Zachra.
I want to make a stuffed crust pizza now.
So that's going to be my tea tonight.
Thank you very much.
Anything else in the inbox?
Yes, Reader Taras messaged us about his incredible find.
He said And then this is my favourite bit he said Now, If you pick up issue 492 of the magazine and go to the Over to You page, you'll see what he means.
Therese's daisy is more than double the size of Scarlett's, so you can get an idea of how incredible this find is.
Yeah, it feels like we're having a big debate among the readers here because yeah, you've got some beef going on between people getting in touch with their daisy flowers.
Yeah, we do.
Yeah, I mean, it's kind of nice that we're reading the magazine and trying to, I guess, do one up on each other, although maybe, you know, don't get too competitive.
Well, we need Scarlet now to get back in touch.
Let's make it clear now.
Yeah, they're both incredible friends, both Scarlet and Tarsis.
Yeah, they're both fantastic.
I mean, you know, yeah, big daisies, brilliant.
Love to get your pictures and love to see big flowers.
Absolutely, yeah.
Thank you so much for everybody who's been in touch.
Yeah, thank you, everyone, for sending your messages.
And don't forget, if you send us a voice note, as I said, you're in with a chance to win a Roving Reporter badge.
And as always, I'll be back next week with all of your latest messages.
But for now, it's over to you, Bex.
Thank you very much, Elena.
Now let's turn our attention back to the magazine this week and the team's favourite stories.
So, Eve, who's your hero of the week in the magazine?
So I often cheat when I do Hero of the Week because I've picked multiple heroes.
But I'm going for, it's a story from our amazing week four section on our big news page.
And it's the Great Britain's men gymnastics team who won a gold medal at the European Gymnastics Championships in Leipzig in Germany.
So there were five gymnasts in the team, including two Olympic medalists.
And two of the team members were also newcomers to the team as well.
And one of them, Jonas Rushworth, said he felt blessed to be in the team and he's really excited for the future.
And this was actually the team's first gold medal at the event since 2022, which I think is really cool.
I'd love to be able to do gymnastics.
That would be a sport I'd love to do, gymnastics.
Well, you know what?
We've still got time for it.
One day we'll maybe push you out there on the gymnastics map.
We'll get you on there.
Yeah.
Awesome.
That's a really cool story.
Joe, every issue of The Week Junior is packed with some amazing facts.
But what is this week's favourite for you?
It is indeed.
And my favourite fact is from a story on our Animals and Environment pages.
And just briefly to summarise, the story was about a study being done that suggested plants are capable of increasing nectar production to entice bees when they're nearby.
Referenced in the study was the snail shell bee.
And the fact I've chosen is that well, that snail shell bees exist in the first place, and also that they get their name because they make their nests in old snail shells.
Oh wow, that's so cute, that is really cute.
Oh, i love that.
Okay, thank you, um eve.
Any funny stories that you've found this week?
Yes, this is from our That's Unbelievable page, which is where our Rule of Rubbish story comes from as well.
And it's about a Smurf record that was smashed in London in France.
And so they broke the world record for the greatest number of people wearing Smurf costumes in one place.
And apparently the town had previously attempted the title two times before.
So I love this.
But this time they succeeded.
There were 3,076 people gathered in white hats with blue painted faces and they sang Smurfy songs.
And the previous record was 2,762, which was set in Germany in 2019.
And I just really, my favorite part of the story is the fact that this is their third attempt.
I just think it's so cool.
I love that.
They were just so desperate to get that one particular record.
Like that's been their main aim and they just keep trying.
But finally they smashed it.
I love it.
Yeah.
So I've been reading the magazine this week and I had a picture caught my eye because I recognised it.
It's from Bruges in Belgium, where I've been to.
And it turns out that people are stealing cobblestones.
Now, I saw this in the magazine.
It said, 70 cobblestones a month are going missing, which costs around £170 per square metre to replace.
Basically, instead of people buying little souvenirs for themselves, they're taking cobblestones from these historic streets, which is a bit cheap, let's face it.
But also, how heavy would it be in your bags?
That's so true.
Have you guys ever stolen a cobblestone from anywhere?
No, never.
I mean, you wouldn't admit it, would you?
I'd be scared about getting searched at customs or something breaking my bed and revealing this suitcase full of cobblestones.
And I was like, what are you doing with this cobblestone?
I don't know how they got there, yeah.
Yeah, you haven't...
Yeah, explaining to somebody, like, why do I have a cobblestone?
Honestly, a brilliant story.
But a friend of mine is visiting Bruges this week actually, so I must tell him, if he doesn't already, to not steal any cobblestones.
I'll let him know.
Now it's time for the moment of truth.
I want to know about this week's real or rubbish joke.
Can you remind me what the story was, please?
Yeah, it was about a duck that's been clocked zooming past a speed camera in Switzerland.
And not only that, but there seems to be a sizeable chance it was the same duck that was also captured zooming past the same camera seven years before, also on the same day of the year.
So there we go.
But Bex, is it true or is it false?
Have you gone quackers?
I'll use the joke again.
Yeah, no, why not?
It's the same day thing that's really catching me.
And I also can't tell whether this is one of your classic tricks where he's been clocked on the speed test thing, but it's actually like he's been.
Maybe he was tied to a car or something.
I don't know.
There's something I just don't trust you is my problem.
Was he flying?
You don't condone tying ducks to cars just to be on the podcast.
Just because you want to win this, I don't trust you anymore.
I am going to say the story is rubbish, but I can't give you any reason other than a gut instinct.
So let's do a drumroll.
Okay.
X, it is true.
It's true.
Is it?
Yeah, same day thing.
Yeah yeah yeah, apparently so.
Um, i mean, some people actually wondered when they saw it appear online if it was an april fool's day joke.
Uh, i believe off the top of my head that the date that it was supposed to have done this is april 13th, so people maybe thought that because it was that month, it was an april fool's day joke.
But no uh, the speeding duck is very, very real and the picture is real.
Uh, so take a look online.
It's quite impressive.
I love it.
All right.
Well, a speeding duck might be coming to a street near us.
I'll look out for a little speedy duck.
