## Resource

Your daily kids news podcast. Rugby league’s brain-safety bid; Aussie Pizza King cooks the competition; a ten-year-old chicken champ; and blue sunsets on Mars? Rugby league is tackling brain injury. New rules limit rough training to protect players’ brains. Aussie legend Johnny Di Francesco (AKA Mr Pizza) spun his way to 5th place worldwide in the World Pizza Championships in Italy. Move over, grown-ups—10-year-old Sophie and her superstar chickens just won big! With training, treats, and one bird named KFC, she wowed judges at the Sydney Royal Easter Show. A stunning blue sunset on Mars had everyone amazed… until it was busted as fake! But here’s the twist—Mars sunsets really can look blue. For the full episode transcript, click here.
