Hello and welcome to the Week Junior show.
I'm Bex and I'm joined by writers Kay and Eve from the Week Junior, the magazine making sense of the world for 8 to 14 year olds.
Now, in a week where some sacred jewels will return to India and there was a powerful earthquake in Russia, we're going to be discussing some of the other stories that inspired the Week Junior team.
Make sure you're listening closely, because at the end of this episode we'll be asking a question about what you've heard, and if you answer it correctly, you could win a prize.
Eve, you can go first.
Well...
I was thinking about this and I've always, I love reading.
So I would really love to run a bookshop, but I also really love drinking tea and eating cake.
So I'm thinking a bookshop slash cafe, but also it's by the sea and I just kind of run it and I basically just get to sit and read books and you know it's not very busy bookshop.
So there's not loads of customers, maybe like two an hour.
So I can just spend the rest of the time reading books.
But you know, but enough customers to keep the business afloat.
Yeah.
I was going to ask about your business plan, but OK, you've provided for that.
That's good.
You know what?
That sounds pretty dreamy.
I would be happy with that myself, actually.
Kay, how about you?
I'd like to be a combination of a gardener and a florist.
Nice.
I assume you're quite green fingered then?
I do like being out in the garden and fiddling around with flowers.
But yeah, they never quite look like a florist's flowers.
But, you know...
If you have this business, you could learn how to make them.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, two very lovely, wholesome answers there.
Mine is less wholesome, I suppose.
I basically was thinking if I didn't host podcasts, what would I do?
And what are my interests?
And my interests are chocolate, basically.
So I think I'd want to be a biscuit and chocolate designer.
I think I'd be really good at it.
I know what is nice and what tastes good.
I'm very happy to taste test.
And I'd take feedback on board, but I think I want to be a biscuit designer.
Is that a thing?
Can we do that?
I think that could be done.
I like the idea that you're saying that you want to design them, but also you want to taste it, but also you can take feedback.
So basically you're designing them and then tasting it and going Bex, I think it needs a little bit more sugar.
I mean, basically what I'm saying is, I want to be paid to eat biscuits for a living, but you know still.
Maybe that job is out there.
I don't know.
If listeners at home want to tell us what their dream job would be, you absolutely can.
We'd love to hear from you.
Send us an email to hello at theweekjuniorcouk or leave a voice note at funkidslivecom.
Slash theweekjunior.
Just grab a grown-up, look for the big red button and record your voice.
If your voice note is played next week, you could win a Week Junior roving reporter badge.
Now, last week, we asked what animal everyone would like to be.
We've got a message here from Caitlin.
Hi, Derek Jr.
I'm Caitlin and the animal I want to be is a bear, because bears could eat lots of animals like an elephant or a jaguar to keep his tummy full.
Bye.
Wow.
Really thought that one through.
Yeah, I love that.
Yeah, the idea that... I mean, bears do have...
Big tummies, so you could just eat all day.
I've got the name dropping of other animals there as well.
That was interesting.
Well, Caitlin is not going to be a hungry bear, obviously.
She's going to be well fed and watered.
Excellent.
So we've also got a message here from Ria.
Hello, The Week Junior.
My name is Ria.
If I could be any animal, I would be a lion because it's my favourite animal and I would be the queen of the savannah and I would rule every animal that lives there.
Bye the week, Junior.
Ria is looking for power and I appreciate that.
The queen, the queen there, riding about in her lion glory.
Amazing.
I appreciate that as well.
Two very interesting answers and reasons for them that I wouldn't have expected.
And two quite scary animals as well.
Yeah, well, Caitlin and Ria aren't scared of them, clearly.
Bears, lions, why not?
Now, if you want to get in touch this week about our question and tell us about your dream job, just send us a voice note to funkidslivecom slash theweekjunior and you can hear yourself on next week's show.
Now let's turn our attention back to the latest magazine, because I want to know what's been in the headlines this week.
Eve, what do you have for me?
So my story is about Storm Floris, which hit parts of the UK on the 4th of August, and it brought strong winds and heavy rain to parts of Scotland Wales, Northern Ireland and the north of England.
And so Storm Flores was the sixth named storm of the 2024 to 2025 storm season.
And the Met Office, which is the UK's weather service, named storms to raise awareness around severe weather events.
And the storm brought some really strong winds.
I actually can't even imagine this.
But at the top of Cairngorm, which is a mountain in the Scottish Highlands, a gust of wind was blowing at 134 miles per hour, which I just
I feel like I'd blow away.
But it really affected a lot of people because there were cancelled and delayed flights in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
And there were also some bridges that had to be closed for tall vehicles like double-decker buses, in case the winds kind of blew them over.
And there were fallen trees on railways and roads.
And at least 72,000 homes had power cuts as well.
And Edinburgh Zoo had to close down.
And I thought this was really interesting as well.
Royal Mail, which is the UK Postal Service, said that delivery of Scottish school exam results by post would be delayed in some areas.
So it kind of affected so many different areas.
And I've been thinking that the weather seems strange for this time of year, especially because I live in the South of England.
So I hadn't seen any of that at all.
It was just kind of nice, mild, warm weather.
But actually, summer storms aren't that unusual.
And in the last few years there have been a few named storms in August in the UK, including Lillian in 2024 and Antony and Betty in 2023.
So not as rare as I'd thought.
But if you want to read more about the effects of the storm and how people helped, as well as how the Met Office measures wind, which is actually very interesting, you can go to page six of the magazine.
Yeah, I was thinking that as well.
It feels weird to have a storm in August, but interesting that actually they're more common than I realise.
Lovely.
Thank you very much, Eve.
Now, Kay, what's another story that you've seen in the news this week?
I love this story about some volunteers in a town called Thirsk in Yorkshire.
And they volunteer every night to walk with 20 ducks and ducklings from the riverside to a car park, which is where the birds like to rest for the night.
And these volunteers are nicknamed duckies and they've volunteered to help the ducks stay safe as they make their walk every night and they'll be doing this from June until early December.
And yeah, there's one volunteer called Emma and she said that she's really enjoying it and she finds it heartwarming and adorable.
And I mean, how can you not?
I know Thirsk a little bit actually, and I just love the idea of people just walking down the streets with some lovely, lovely ducks.
Kay, would you fancy this job?
Would you volunteer?
Oh, yeah.
Maybe not every night, but I think they take it in shifts.
That's fair.
I love this.
Just what a lovely thing to be doing.
Now, it's time for my favourite part of the show, real or rubbish.
This is the bit where someone tells me a story.
I have to guess if it's true or false, fact or fake news.
So, the answer will be revealed at the end of the show.
In the meantime, Kay, you've got to tell me, what is the story this week?
So, this week, an old bike entered the Tour de France.
This bike is a Penny Farthing, and it was ridden by the Canadian cyclist Lizanne Wilmot.
And she is broken some records on this bike in the first leg of the women's tour de france.
Um, and the records that she's broken are the fastest one kilometer on a penny farthing, which she done in one minute and 52 seconds.
And she also broke the fastest speed on a penny farthing at 26 miles per hour.
And um, she's just said that she's really happy that she's been invited to the opening stage of this really famous cycling race.
She said, I love a good challenge.
So is this real or are we pedaling lies?
Well, first of all, I thought you were going to say to me she's broken records for like the fastest race ever at the Tour de France.
And I was like, that's too far.
But I don't know.
I mean obviously, if this is real, it's a big publicity stunt, i imagine, because there's no way you're gonna win if you're in a penny farthing and you've got like the fastest cyclists in the world.
There's no way the penny farthings will win if listeners don't know what it is.
It's basically a very, very old-fashioned bicycle right with like one big, big wheel and then one smaller wheel right.
Is that?
Is that correct?
Yeah, and it's quite hard to stay stable on it.
And also, personally i'm little reveal here I can't actually ride a bike, so I imagine a penny farthing.
Yes, I mean, it's a shocker.
I'm sorry guys, but I imagine a penny farthing being even worse.
I can't even imagine riding that anywhere.
I don't feel like I can't imagine as well.
By the way, the cyclists I know at the Tour de France are very competitive and the idea of having to maneuver and navigate around a penny farthing I'm sure would infuriate them.
But then when they did it, I mean they'd zoom off and the penny farthing would be left miles behind, surely.
I think, just like any race, there's some really fast people, but there's also slower ones, you know.
That's such a good answer.
Such a good answer.
Okay.
Okay.
Well, I really don't know about this one, because maybe there's like a history thing of like you know the anniversary of the Penny Farthing, or you know the anniversary of our first race with the Penny Farthing, or the Tour de France's anniversary.
I don't know.
That's my problem.
I don't know it well enough because I don't follow cycling because I can't ride a bike.
But while I am considering my options, let's talk about our book of the week.
This week, it's Unfairies by Hugh Aron.
So we've got a message here from Hugh to tell us more about it.
Hi, I'm Hugh Aron.
I make children's books and comics.
And I'm the author of Unfairies, which is a new graphic novel by Puffin.
And fairies follows Pip, who is a reckless, impulsive tree fairy, around an epic adventure in the garden, which is a magical kingdom of warring fairies.
Think The Borrowers meets Game of Thrones with plenty of silliness thrown in.
I've tried to pack in all my favorite things into this book.
So there's cross sections and epic battle scenes and lots of weird characters and stupid jokes.
So it amused me.
Hopefully it amuses readers too.
My favourite book growing up?
Oh, so hard to pick.
But if I should pick one, I suppose Redwall by Brian Jakes would be up there.
Reading it as an eight or nine year old and it was the first book to just grab me, with a range of characters and brilliant plot.
And it just pulled me right into that world and I think a lot of that has stayed with me and the books that I make and just reflecting the genius of Brian Jakes in pulling a story together.
Lovely stuff.
And if you'd like to win a copy of Unfairies, stay with us until the end of the show to find out how you can enter our prize draw.
Now, we've just been joined by this week's guest editor, Vanessa.
Well, Vanessa, welcome to the show.
Hello.
What would you like to share with us this week?
First of all, I'd like to thank you, because I learned to ride a bike when I was about 10 and I thought I was really, really late.
Well, I was late compared to all my friends.
But now hearing that you don't know how to ride a bike.
I'm sorry, but that does make me feel a lot better.
So thanks for that.
I'm supposed to wait until I'm invited in, but I have to say I'm so wanted to jump in and say what?
I can't believe it.
But anyway, so thank you for making me feel better.
Anyway.
You're so welcome.
That's why I said it.
That's exactly what I wanted.
I know.
I know.
You're a good person.
You're a very kind person.
On the subject of kind people, very nice link there.
Wasn't that very smooth?
We ran a survey in our well.
It was back in the mists of time actually, or the 13th of July more accurately.
And we wanted to know from our readers what their dream job would be.
And we got some, we asked them lots of questions and we got some fantastic answers.
And we found out that 75 of our readers know what they want to do later in life, which is amazing, because I certainly didn't.
It took me years to work out what I wanted to do.
But sadly only one person said they wanted to be a journalist at the Week Junior, which is possibly a good thing because it's a very exclusive group.
We're very exclusive.
But anyway, it's certainly my dream job, working the Week Junior.
But a lot of the results showed how incredibly positive, kind and creative our readers are.
They talked about wanting to help people in their time of need and inspiring others to follow their dreams and saving lives.
So, yes, it was very positive and heartwarming.
And we asked which of the subjects you study at school or in your lessons that you think could be useful in your chosen career.
And maths, superstar maths that came out top.
And English and science quite soon afterwards.
But maths was definitely the star player.
And then we asked what other skills might be useful for you to learn later.
We had AI and robots.
People wanted cooking skills and food technology.
We had quite a lot of food fans among the answers, I must say.
Cooking skills and food technology.
British Sign Language, which I think was a really interesting idea.
Debating and first aid.
We also had some slightly unusual ideas of skills that they might want to learn, such as learning to see clues easily.
Taking rest breaks. which I think is a very useful skill.
And tent building and survival skills, said somebody else.
A great skill.
A great skill, but a little bit positive.
Sorry, a little bit negative, I would say, about why they would do that in the future.
But anyway...
Overall, being creative was the top priority for our readers.
And being in charge of the team is actually quite low down.
Lots wanted to set up their own business.
Again, we had some brilliant ideas, including an ice lolly business, which I certainly like to sound that.
But again, there was a lot of kind of helping others.
So people wanted to help by doing scientific research.
Somebody else wanted to help people with disabilities to live a better life.
And there were a lot of readers who wanted to be somehow involved in caring for animals.
Now we hear a lot about AI and robots, but 95 of people think that their dream job will exist in the future, which I think is very optimistic and positive.
And 20%, which I think is quite a lot, would like to be prime minister.
So I definitely have to watch this space.
And then I think probably my favourite section.
My favourite question was what job that doesn't exist yet would you like to do?
Now we wrote it slightly more clearly in the magazine, but of the strange jobs, I think my favourites were.
There was somebody who wanted to be a vitamin taste tester, which I think is a good one, because they are a bit yucky sometimes, aren't they?
I mean, sometimes they're all right, but sometimes they're, ooh.
Somebody wanted to be a dog hugger, a banana milkshake tree creator, which I certainly want to see.
I'm not sure that I want to create one, but I certainly want to see it.
A tooth wobbler, tooth wobbler.
Now I'm all yeah, I'm all right wobbling my own teeth, but i don't think i'd like to.
Is that a dentist?
No, possibly that's a bad sign for dentists that they're wobbling your teeth.
Uh, somebody else wanted to be a fridge decorator, and then this one, which at first glance sounds all right, but actually, if you think about it no, i don't want this job ever to exist.
An entertainer on a plane, can you imagine?
Oh, I wouldn't fancy that job, or for anyone to have that job.
To be honest,
But if you are an entertaining person, maybe it's the perfect job for you.
Could be, could be.
Get the holiday going with a bang.
But anyway, I'm really looking forward to hearing from our listeners now about their dream jobs too, because it was just a fascinating look at what young people are interested in.
It is so cool to hear all of these answers and the ideas that everybody has.
A vitamin taste tester is quite a specific niche as well to get into.
But I love that.
Vanessa, thank you so much for sharing those survey results with us.
Well, thank you to all our readers for taking part.
Yeah, such good stuff in there.
Now it's time for this week's big debate.
And the question is, does it matter if music is made by AI?
Kate and Eve are going to go head to head to take an aside each on this argument.
But before we hear from them...
Here's some information you need to know.
A band called The Velvet Sundown recently received more than a million plays online before it was revealed that the music was actually created by artificial intelligence as AI.
AI is a computer system that can learn from experience.
It does this by analysing existing music and then creating new works.
There are currently no clear laws in the UK about the creation of AI music.
Streaming services such as Spotify, where people can listen to music.
Don't have to let listeners know that the music is AI generated.
So does it matter if music is made by AI?
Eve is team yes, Kay is team no.
Each of them will have 60 seconds to make their case, and then I'll make up my mind on whose side I agree with more.
So let's hear from Eve first, who thinks it does matter if music is made by AI.
Let me get my little timer up here.
All right, here we go, Eve.
Whenever you're ready, take it away.
OK, so personally, the reason I love music is because it's connected to the real experiences and emotions of the human people who wrote and played the songs.
And a computer can't recreate this.
And I don't think I'd really enjoy listening to music that doesn't have that emotion connected to it.
And musicians such as Dua Lipa and Elton John have spoken out about their concerns today about the way that AI is trained to make music, because it's actually trained on other people's music.
And this isn't a fair way to create music, because the AI isn't giving any credit to the artist whose music it's trained on.
And music made by AI should be labelled so that people know who's made it.
It wouldn't be fair to be listening to music and then to find out that the band or singer doesn't even exist.
It would just be really weird.
And I would personally find that very disappointing, because it's quite nice to kind of learn a bit more about the people behind the music.
And AI is developing at such a fast rate, and people should be given a clear warning if content they're listening to or watching isn't made by real people.
What a lovely argument and what a lovely time.
Yes, you're right.
I do like to let us know about the people who are making the music.
That's a good point.
But maybe Kay can persuade me the other way.
So Kay, whenever you're ready, give me your argument, please.
So it doesn't matter how music is made.
All that matters is how it sounds.
No one really needs to know how it's made.
They just want to enjoy the final result.
And if people... can't tell music was made with AI like this band.
Surely it's as good as the real thing.
Also, AI could be a bit of a boost for musicians, because instead of needing loads of different musical instruments or a recording studio, you can just use AI to help you out.
And I would say that this is just progress using technology.
And also, it's not really new because a lot of the time, new versions of old songs get remade.
And there is no warning about this kind of technology helping musicians remake these songs.
So maybe, if we are going to introduce warnings with AI music, we should do it with old remakes as well.
Okay.
Okay.
I mean, you were five seconds over.
It's not a lot.
That's okay.
That's all right.
I'll allow it.
That is an interesting one.
You know what?
Kay had me hooked in from your first line there when he said, it doesn't matter who makes it.
It doesn't matter how it sounds because it's music.
But overall, personally, for me, I'm going to say I agree with Eve.
I think let's let the humans make the music.
Let's go and enjoy people's experiences.
Because also...
I can't make music without the people it's kind of copying.
And that's not fair.
But hey, it's not my opinion that counts, is it?
It's what our readers and listeners think.
So we want to hear your verdict on this week's big debate.
You can get involved by voting online at theweekjunior.co.uk.
You can also email your thoughts to us at hello at theweekjunior.co.uk. or send us a voice note.
Just go to funkidslivecom, slash theweekjunior, scroll down until you see that big red button and grab a grown-up to record your voice.
Your message could be in next week's episode.
Now, last week's big debate was about whether child-free places should be banned, so let's find out what the Week Junior listeners and readers voted.
It was quite close last week, actually, but 56% said no.
Child-free places shouldn't be banned, because adults should be allowed a little bit of peace and quiet if they need it.
I love how close that was.
Didn't expect that.
And Eve, any messages sent in this week?
Yeah, so one person said, no, some adults don't want children screaming and shouting.
Families can go to other family-friendly resorts.
Sometimes adults need a break.
And that often means some peace and quiet, which is an interesting comment.
But someone else said, yes, I am a child.
And if my mum had to go somewhere without me, I would be disappointed, which is also a very good point.
Yeah, fair enough.
Absolutely.
We do love hearing your opinions on our big debate.
So do get in touch if you can.
Just go to theweekjunior.co.uk slash polls.
Now you've heard about the big debate, but let's hear some messages in the inbox.
What has everyone been up to recently?
Eve, what's going on?
So we had a voice note sent in from Adeline and Imogen to tell us what they've been up to recently.
Hi, Week Junior.
My name is Adeline.
And I'm eight years old and I have a little sister who is three years old.
Hey.
My name's Imogen.
Today we had an adventure to Marston Beach.
Marston Beach is special because it is one of the places you can find sea glass.
We found six pieces of sea glass.
And tea cells.
And eight rocks.
We also had fish and chips, ice cream and played tricking with the waves.
Thank you.
Oh, my gosh.
That sounds like a dream day at the beach.
What an epic day.
Fish and chips.
Yes, please.
Oh, my God.
And like finding all those seashells.
I used to love finding seashells at the beach.
I used to collect them all in a bowl.
And yeah, bits of sea glass as well.
So nice.
That sounds like an absolutely amazing day.
What a way to spend a summer holiday day, you know, that's incredible.
Thank you so much, what team there, Adeline, Imogen, for letting us know what you've been up to.
Kay, what else have we seen recently?
We've also had a message from Rowan who said me and my brother have been dog sitting a dog called Monty in Cornwall for my dad's friend.
At the beach, he slipped off his lead and we had to catch him.
Monty trying to do a runner?
Yeah.
I don't think I'd be admitting that in a podcast just to make sure that dad's friends didn't find out.
But I love that you caught him again.
That's pretty impressive.
That's not too bad.
OK, what are we thinking about, Monty?
Oh, yeah.
So I was also dog sitting for a cocker spaniel called Safi this week.
And she did manage to escape from my dad at one point, but luckily she came back.
Oh, my goodness.
All these runaway dogs.
Goodness me.
Well, thank you for sending in all of these messages.
We love hearing what you're up to, especially on your summer holidays.
So if you want to email or voice note telling us what you've been doing, don't you worry.
You absolutely can.
Just go to hello at theweekjuniorcouk to email us, or you can record a voice note at funkidslivecom.
Slash theweekjunior.
And if we play out your voice note, you could win a roving reporter badge.
All right, then let's turn our attention back to the magazine this week.
Eve, who's been your hero of the week?
So I absolutely love this story.
So listeners might remember that a few weeks ago I was talking about the Astronomer Royal at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich.
And we've got some very exciting news because there's a brand new Astronomer Royal, that's just been announced.
Her name is Professor Michelle Doherty, and she's the first female Astronomer Royal in 350 years.
And this role is the King's official advisor on astronomy, which is the study of space.
And I love the story because I love astronomy myself, and I just think it's really cool.
And Michelle Doherty became interested in astronomy as a child, when she started looking at Jupiter through a telescope that she built with her sister and her dad.
And since then she's become part of a team that sends probes to Jupiter's moons to learn more about them.
So she's kind of her dream has really come true.
But she hopes that by becoming the first female Astronomer Royal, she can inspire more women and girls to study science.
And she also wants to open people's eyes to the wonder of space.
And I'm really excited to see what she does in the role.
That's really cool.
I love having an Astronomer Royal.
That's a really good job.
Now, Kay, what's been your favourite fact that you've learnt this week?
In this week's issue, you can learn how to press flowers.
And when I was reading this article, I found out that at the Natural History Museum in London there are pressed flowers which were collected by scientists for research purposes that date back to the 17th century.
Wow, it's amazing they've lasted this long, right?
Is that just because they've been pressed so well, I guess?
I think so.
And in the magazine, there are really good instructions for learning how to press your own flowers.
So you know, if you do it really well, you could make some press flowers that could last that long in the future too.
I love it.
Okay.
I'll give that a go.
Now, a story I spotted in the magazine that I absolutely loved was about a Shrek cake.
Now baker Laura Mason from Walsall in England has made this massive, life-sized cake of Shrek, which I just really love that somebody's taken the time to do that, to be honest.
I think apparently she cut it up, donated it to local food banks, so an extra feel-good element to it.
But it took her 40 hours to make.
And I don't think I've ever taken 40 hours to do anything, let alone make a Shrek cake.
Yeah.
So well done, Dallara, for doing that.
And the picture of the cake is incredibly lifelike.
So yeah, I just really love that story.
If you've got a copy of the magazine, go and check it out.
Now it's time for the moment of truth.
This is Real or Rubbish.
We've got to find out if the story that I heard this week was true or false.
Come on then, Kay, remind me what the story was, please.
So this is the story that the cyclist Lizanne Wilmot rode a penny farthing at the Women's Tour de France and broke two world records.
Okay.
I mean, if you're going to ride a penny farthing anywhere, why not at a big cycling event?
But also, why wouldn't you do it at a penny farthing event, not an actual bicycle event?
I feel like doing this would take attention away from the cyclists.
So I'm going to say the story is rubbish this week.
I mean, really, I'm torn on this one.
But I'm going to say, yeah, you're peddling some lies here.
So let's say it's rubbish.
Yeah.
Should we do a drum roll?
Okay.
You're right, it is rubbish.
But she did ride a penny farthing at another event in Tasmania last New Year's Eve and she broke two world records at that event.
Wow, that was a genuine guess for me.
I really didn't really know how to take that one.
Goodness me, maybe I'll learn how to ride a penny farthing.
Maybe that's my next challenge.
I'll forget the bike.
Dream job, penny farthing rider.
Penny Farmer as I eat my biscuits as I get a custard cream.
