A wild rumour says a megaquake will hit Japan in July, but earthquakes can’t be predicted by dreams (or doodles).

Underwater volcano ready to blow, and Bulldogs v Broncos in fan battle.

Your daily kids news podcast. Underwater volcano ready to blow; Switzerland’s speeding duck; Bulldogs v Broncos in fan battle; and Mr Beast and the gorilla fake. A giant underwater volcano called Axial Seamount might explode off the U.S. coast! It's hiding deep under the sea but could create one of the biggest underwater blasts this year. A speedy Swiss duck broke the law—kind of! A mallard was caught flying at 52 km/h in a 30 zone. The speed camera snapped it mid-flight, but no number plate = no fine. As the NRL heats up, clubs are battling for more than just points—they’re fighting for the largest home crowd! The Broncos still lead, but the Bulldogs are charging up. A fake video claimed Mr Beast made 100 people battle a gorilla. (Spoiler: he didn’t!) It looked real—but it was full of fibs. For the full episode transcript, click here.
