EPISODE 201
LEELA: This episode... pets as food in Denmark, Costa Rica's crazy-colored shark, the end of gadget batteries, searching for Amelia, Taylor gets engaged, the little League World Series and tossing tomatoes in Spain.
OPENING STING – LEELA: “Hey, hey, hey. Listen up. New, new, newsy – Newsy Pooloozi!”
THEME MUSIC
LEELA: Hello and welcome to Newsy Pooloozi – the news pool for curious kids and adults! I’m your host Leela Sivasankar Prickitt and, as ever, I’m joined by the big story explainer and sound effects finder – otherwise known as my… mama!
MAMA: Hello, hello. I’m Lyndee Prickitt. And, yes, welcome back to this monthly episode of Newsy Pooloozi and, boy, do we have a lot to get through this month!
LEELA: We sure do!
MUSIC UP
LEELA: First up, we'll explain why people in Denmark are offering their ailing pets as food (!) at zoos - yes, we'll dive deep into the Danish cycle of life belief.
Staying with nature, move over Nemo - there's a shark that's been spotted off the coast of Costa Rica, lighting up the ocean.
In tech news is it the end of batteries for our tech devices? If so, then how??
And the search is BACK on for Amelia Earhart's plane that famously went down in the Pacific Ocean way back in 1937.
In entertainment news Taylor Swift is finally getting hitched.
In spors find out who takes the crown in The Little League World Series.
And, why, oh, why do the Spanish like to toss tomatoes. At each other? Yes, we'll have a special report from one of the craziest, or do I mean tastiest, festivals around.
All that and more. So, let's dive on in. First up is...
BIG NEWS STORY STING – VARIOUS VOICES: “The Big news story of the week!”
MAMA: Ahh the season of autumn is upon us. A slight chill is in the air – in the mornings anyway, here in India – and the days are getting shorter...
LEELA: ...and we’re closer to the holiday season!
MAMA: Yes! The changing seasons are like a cycle. Things are born in spring, thrive in summer, then wilt during autumn and die during winter.
LEELA: Then the whole thing starts again!
MAMA: Correct!
LEELA: But where are we going with this?
MAMA: So, glad you asked. Well today we’re talking about another important cycle... the way the food chain works.
LEELA: You mean the cycle of life... errr, is the circle of life?
MAMA: Both, I reckon. Cycles are circular, after all.
LEELA: So, you mean like how tigers and lions are at the top of the food chain, because no other animal eats them, and cute little bitty bunnies and squirrels – poor, dears – are at the bottom?
MAMA: Yes, but even smaller animals (and plants!) are even lower on that chain.
LEELA: Right. I guess so, yeah.
MAMA: So, for example, here’s how a food chain could be organized: the grass is eaten by the bugs, the bugs are eaten by the frogs, the frogs are eaten by the snakes, and the snakes are eaten by mongoose and mongoose by a tiger.
LEELA: Poor mongooses.
MAMA: But why not poor grass and bugs and etc??
LEELA: Ahhh… yes… there’s that…
MAMA: Still… the point is, when the tiger, who’s at the top of the food chain, dies, its body decomposes back into the soil.
LEELA: Which helps the grass grow....
MAMA: Which feeds the bugs... which feeds the frogs...
LEELA: And on and on!
MAMA: And you have…
LEELA: The circle of life!
MAMA: Exactly. Now, keeping ALL that in mind – there was a story about a zoo in Denmark that’s getting a lot of attention.
LEELA: Go on.
MAMA: Well, the zoo put out an advertisement asking for people to donate their sick or dying pets.
LEELA: Donate?
MAMA: Yes…
LEELA: Oh… I’m not sure I’m comfortable with where this is going…
MAMA: Circle of life, keep the circle of life in mind… Yes, they asked for the sick or dying pets to be… used as food. To feed their lions and tigers.
LEELA: Wait. I mean… Wait… Wait one little second here, please! You’re telling me the zoo is asking people to BRING IN THEIR PETS TO BE EATEN BY THE LIONS?? Please tell me you’re joking. That just sounds wrong!
MAMA: I’m not. The Aalborg Zoo in Denmark posted a request for people to bring in sick or dying, “chickens, rabbits and guinea pigs” to be euthanized… which is a fancy word for…
LEELA: Yeah… it means well, “put down” or “put to sleep.”
MAMA: Or – to end a life humanely or painlessly. Yes, the animals would be euthanized and then given to the predators.
LEELA: (loud sighhhhhhh). But I’m still not seeing circle of life here. Drop off my old dog to be euthanized and fed to the lions? What kind of food chain is that?
MAMA: Well, first, it’s not dogs. Or cats. It has to be small animals like the ones I just mentioned. And the food chain, my dear, may not be as perfect a ,s it is in the ‘wild’, but giving a zoo predator a small whole animal is probably better than feeding it canned food, or something processed.
LEELA: But why? If kibble is good enough for house pets, why not feed it to the lions at the zoo?
MAMA: It’s not that great to feed to house pets, to be honest! Rots their teeth! Zoo officials say giving predators whole animals to feed on is super nutritious for reasons we don’t have to go into here.
LEELA: Hmmmmm. I guess I'm starting to see the circle. I guess…
MAMA: Yeah. In fact – get this – people in Denmark have been donating their sick or dying animals to zoos for years.
LEELA: They have!?
MAMA: Yes! And since the zoo’s post, more people have been talking about it. There’s one story about a 13-year-old girl who donated her pony to a zoo a few years ago.
LEELA: O.M.G.
MAMA: Yes! But according to her mother, the girl wanted to do it. She said she’d rather her very sick pony be euthanized and fed to a lion, than simply disposed of. For that girl, and for most Danes, I reckon! the “circle of life” through zoo donations is very clear.
LEELA: But there’s still just one question. If zoo predators need to feed on whole animals to keep them healthy, shouldn’t that also include, like, hunting and catching their prey?
MAMA: I see what you mean. Like giving a whole animal to a lion is great for its teeth, but not so great for its physique if they don’t have to run and chase it, you mean?
LEELA: Yeah, like, don’t they get fat? Like a couch potato, just having their food brought to them.
MAMA: Yeah. Zoos aren’t perfect.
LEELA: Hmmmm, yeah, I’m not keen on seeing animals looks up to be honest.
MAMA: Me either.
LEELA: But I know many do help with conservation efforts and scientific research, so there’s that…
MAMA: Correct! Now, staying with our Nature theme....

NATURE STING – VARIOUS VOICES: “The call of nature. Get on your safari suite. Or squeeze into your scuba gear. And get ready to hop into a jeep. Or submarine. Submarine. Because Mother Nature is calling! Nature.”
LEELA Today's nature story is also kind of a… a mystery, I guess?
MAMA: Ohh, this sounds, well, mysterious! But uhh, what exactly do you mean?
LEELA: Well, some fishermen off the coast of Costa Rica...
MAMA: Which is a Central American country with coasts in both the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea.
LEELA: Correct. Well, the fishermen reeled in a really, like really,unique looking creature the other day.
MAMA: Oooh, mysterious indeed. I know we don’t have any correspondents in Costa Rica, but we do have a new team of sisters out of Washington DC, by way of Miami… So…
LEELA: Yes! That would be Sydney and Eva Gonzalez! Over to y’all...
SYDNEY: Thanks, Leela. Yeah, the creature that was pulled in by fishermen was actually...
EVA: A shark! It was a shark. O-M-G. It was a shark.
SYDNEY: A nurse shark, to be exact.
EVA: But this wasn’t just any old nurse shark.
SYDNEY: No, it was... drumroll please...
EVA: Orange!
SYDNEY: Yes, an orange nurse shark was on the other end of the fishermen’s line. And it was a pretty strange site to behold.
EVA: The fishermen taking the video was like “it’s so beautiful!” But honestly, it would have freaked me out.
SYDNEY: Honestly, I could never see you on a fishing trip. But I digress! The orange nurse shark caught the attention of some scientists who recently published a study about it.
EVA: To figure out... why is it like that? Are there more? Does it have little orange baby sharks?
SYDNEY: Spoiler. No orange baby sharks. The scientists said its color was probablycaused by two rare genetic conditions-albinism...(AL-BI-NI-SM)
EVA: Which is when you lack melanin pigment and appear white.
SYDNEY: Exactly. And xanthism (SANTH-ISM)
EVA: Which is... what is that, anyway?
SYDNEY: It's when there’s too much yellow pigment, and not enough melanin. Anyway, the shark had both.
Hence the orangeish hue.
EVA: Gotcha. So, what happened to the shark?
SYDNEY: It’s still out there, I guess.
EVA: I’ll keep my eyes peeled during my next scuba diving expedition in Costa Rica. After my fishing trip.
SYDNEY: Yeah right!
BOTH: In Washington DC this is Eva Gonzales, and Sydney Gonzales for Newsy Pooloozi!
LEELA: Hey, thanks a lot, you guys – for that fab report! And a very big welcome into the coolest news pool around.
MAMA: But you know – that’s not the only crazy color story from the deep blue sea.
LEELA: I know! I just saw new pictures of a famously odd and colorful manta ray.
MAMA: Which are like stingrays, but without the stingy bit.
LEELA: Yes, thank you. It was photographed recently off the coast of Australia and is also a very rare color…
MAMA: Rare and very, very pretty…
LEELA: Yes, we’re talking pink – Barbie pink! It was first spotted 10 years ago when researchers thought the unusual color was caused by infection or weird diet…
MAMA: All that horrible plastic polluting our oceans, perhaps!
LEELA: No, mother. Not this time… Turns out it was also just a genetic mutation.
MAMA: And as a little crash course or reminder… all living things are made of genes, which are like tiny sets of instructions that tell our bodies how to grow and work.
LEELA: Right – so a genetic mutation is like a little mistake or…
MAMA: Like a small typo in those instructions that can change how something looks or functions.
LEELA: So, for the Barbie manta-ray it was a genetic mutation caused by an over-production of reddish pigments or… the underproduction of typical dark pigments.
MAMA: Which has the fancy-pancy name of eerythrism. In fact, the combination of red hair and freckles is considered a mild expression of erythrism in humans.
LEELA: Well, there you go! So many fab facts in this report too!
MAMA: You’re telling me – our quiz of the most fab fabulous background facts at the end is gonna be a good one.

TECH STING – LEELA/MAMA: “It’s time for.... Technology News, technology news, tech news!”
MAMA: OK, so way back... a few minutes ago… when we were talking about “life cycles”?
LEELA: Yessss...
MAMA: Well, did you know the phrase can also be used in technology to describe a particular product that's been replaced by something more innovative.
LEELA: Nooooo? But I think I get it... Yeah, like when old tech becomes outdated and replaceable, like those silver round things that you used to play music on back in the day...?
MAMA: You mean, compact discs?
LEELA: Yeah, CDs.... when something like that gets replaced, you can say its “life cycle” is over.
MAMA: Exactly. So, with CDs, they were invented, they became popular, then “died” when better technology came along...
LEELA: Hello, i-pods, i-Tunes and Spotify...
MAMA: Correct, again! Well now, there’s another piece of technology whose life cycle may be coming to an end.
LEELA: Which is......??
MAMA: Batteries!
LEELA: Batteries?! Wow, that’d be great.
MAMA: I know, right? Well, a group of scientists led by the University College of London conducted some research that could lead to a new way of charging electronics, like keyboards, remote controls, alarm clocks, those kinds of things... using indoor light.
LEELA: Wow! So, like a solar panel, but the “solar” part is actually coming from a lightbulb?
MAMA: Yes, more or less. Typical solar panels use silicon. Basically, when sunlight hits the silicon,
it sets electrons in motion, creating an electric current
LEELA: That can power small devices.
MAMA: Right. But instead of silicon, the ones in the study were made from a special crystalized material called perovskite.
LEELA: Pa-what now??
MAMA: Perovskite, (puh-RAHV-skight) is super special because it can be adjusted and manipulated, so that it absorbs indoor light rays better.
LEELA: Woooooow. So, just like, slap a film of perovskite (puh-RAHV-skight) on my alarm clock and call it a day, or......?
MAMA: Yeeeeeah, no. The researchers say that while perovskite (puh-RAHV-skight) is great to use for indoor lights, it does have some defects that make it less than perfect.
LEELA: Go on...
MAMA: So, what the scientists did in their study was make the perovskite more viable...
LELA: Which means they made it work better?
MAMA: Yeah, they used various chemicals to improve the perovskite so it can better absorb indoor light.
LEELA: So, it can one day be used to replace batteries?
MAMA: Exactly. So, the life cycle of batteries...
LEELA: Isn’t over just yet. We could say we’re on the PATH to battery-free electronics.
WORLD WRAP STING – LEELA: “What’s that? I’ll tell you what. That’s the halftime bell! Which means… it’s time to hear what’s making news around the rest of the world. Hold on tight, it’s around the world in 80 seconds.”
Israel’s full-scale ground invasion of Gaza has intensified, despite growing international criticism. The United Nations has formally accused Israel of genocide, which is the intentional destruction, in whole or in part, of a national, ethnic, racial or religious group.
Over here in South Asia, protests by students against corruption and digital censorship in Nepal has turned violent. Dozens of people have been killed, and the government has been overthrown.
In the US, a prominent conservative activist, Charlie Kirk, was fatally shot earlier this month while speaking at Utah Valley University. A 22-year-old has been charged with aggravated murder, though some are calling this a political assassination.
And huge space news… NASA’s Perseverance rover uncovered the strongest evidence yet of ancient life on Mars. It found microbial organic compounds and minerals in a riverbed rock that resemble biological formations seen on Earth.

LEELA: Well, thank you so much for that – wait for it… that whippity-whappity-zippity-zappity wrap of what’s making headlines elsewhere in the world, Mama.
MAMA: Anytime, Leela. So, our next story is yet anothermystery....
LEELA: Another orange shark?
MAMA: Nope, but it is one of the world’s oldest unsolved mysteries... the mystery of what happened to Amelia Earhart during her round the world flight.
LEELA: Amelia Earhart? As in, the famous aviator who broke tons of records flying across the world back before most people had ever been in a plane.
MAMA: Totally. She pushed so many boundaries. Until she disappeared on a flight in 1937 somewhere over the Pacific Ocean.
LEELA: And they never found the wreckage…
MAMA: That’s right. Well now a group from Purdue University in Indiana are reopening the search.
LEELA: Oh, oh. Well, over in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, on team New Zealand, we have a budding young pilot! Jessica Graham, who I bet would like to give us this story.
JESSICA: Thanks guys. That's right! Amelia Earhart, famous for being the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean in 1932. She was one of the most celebrated aviators of her time.
On July 2nd, 1937, Amelia, then 39, set out from Miami with her navigator Fred Noonan to try to become the first woman to fly around the world following the equator. That's the longest possible route - 40,000kms or 25,000 miles.
They were last seen on the island of New Guinea, north of Australia, about 35,000kms into their mission. They then took off across the Pacific Ocean heading for Howland Island in their Lockheed Electra aircraft but they were never seen again.
Exactly what happened to Amelia and Fred remains one of the great aviation mysteries. For years, investigators have believed the pair ran out of fuel and crash-landed in the ocean.
But what's this? Her plane might have been found!? Yes, satellite pictures have shown a possible image of the aircraft on the shoreline of an uninhabited island called Nikumaroro, 1600km or 1000 miles from Fiji.
The Purdue researchers are planning to visit the island in November this year. “We believe we owe it to Amelia and her legacy at Purdue to fulfill her wishes, if possible, to bring the Electra back to Purdue,” they say.
Sadly, other researchers who went to the island in 2017 say it might only be a (very boring) coconut tree.
Despite the expedition, Amelia Earhart will still remain an amazing role model for many. Could this be a historical moment? Who knows, we’ll have to wait and see!
In Wellington, this is Jessica Graham for Newsy Pooloozi!
LEELA: Fascinating story. Thanks a lot for that, Jessica!
MAMA: Yeah, thanks Jessica! Keep us posted!

ACE STING – LEELA/MAMA: “Now it’s the ace part of our podcast: Arts, Culture and Entertainment. Darling.”
LEELA: And of course, the biggest entertainment news this month is.
MAMA: Dun dun dun.
LEELA: Is... That Taylor Swift has gotten engaged.
MAMA: Or is I like to say, because it rhymes. Taylor Swift is getting hitched.
LEELA: Yes, that is true. She is marrying Travis Kels, who is a football player on the Kansas City Chiefs team. Which is really ironic, because in one of her songs, 15, and one of her first albums,
she said, But in your life, you'll do greater things in dating the boy on the football team. Which is really funny, because she's kind of talking to herself in that song, and now she's marrying the guy on the football team. So how happened was just after Taylor Swift announced that she will be releasing her new album, The Life of a Showgirl. Travis Kels was having his backyard decorated and set up in this kind of enchanted foresty way, and so that when they were done with the podcast, we'll be ready so he could propose to her in this beautiful garden. And he did!
Mama: Sweet.
Leela: Very.
Mama: When is the wedding.
Leela: Um, so none of that's really disclosed yet, because they kind of want to have it personally and privately. But really exciting.
Mama: Really exciting. And I can't wait for you to get your invitation.
LEELA: I know. Like, why am I going to wear?
SPORTS STING – VARIOUS VOICES: “It’s time to play ball… Score… Sports News!”
MAMA: So now that we’re monthly, it does mean we’re catching up on some older news…
LEELA: Yes, a month ago a major sporting tournament got underway, and the championship game took place a couple weeks ago.
MAMA: Yep, we’re talking about the real-World Series – because this one actually has team from ten, yes, different countries.
LEELA: we’re of course talking about the Little League World Series.
MAMA: And guess who won it?
LEELA: Here’s a clue… we’re giving this report to our favourite Taiwanese correspondent, Yuching Liu – over to you!
YUCHING: Thanks guys!
The Little League World Series is such a huge event.
It's twenty teams from ten different countries all playing together in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, for the championship! It’s basically the World Cup of baseball, but for 10–12-year-old kids.
Well, this year's final came down to Nevada versus Taiwan. And... wait for it... Yes, Taiwan won 7 to 0! We’re all so proud of our country’s Little League.
林晉擇 was the star of the game. He pitched five scoreless innings and then blasted a three-run triple. That’s like being both the pitcher and the power hitter at the same time! How amazing is that?
What makes this win even more awesome is that it’s Taiwan’s 18th championship, and their first win since 1996! For me, it’s really special because I’m from Taiwan, and seeing our team win after so many years makes me feel really proud.
These are kids our age showing the world what’s possible! It’s proof that if you practice hard, stay focused, and believe in yourself, you can do amazing things too!
This is Yuching Liu from Taiwan for Newzy Pooloozi!
LEELA: Thanks so much Yuching! Nice to hear from you and your beautiful country as ever!

LEELA: And finally, let’s see what the lucky dip machine has for us this week.
ODDBALL STING – VARIOUS VOICES: “Step right up, step right up… Have a go at the lucky dip machine… What’s it gonna be today, eh? An oddball, no doubt!”
LEELA: So, when would you say IS an acceptable time to… ummm... throw a tomato at someone?
Mama: Uhhh… never? I mean, back in the day, if you were performing on a stage and someone threw a tomato at you, it meant they weren’t a fan. Which is totally not acceptable in my book.
Leela: Right, but what if I said there’s a city in Spain where throwing tomatoes has become so popular that thousands of tourists visit the town each year on the last Wednesday of August to participate in a gigantic tomato throwing festival?
MAMA: I’d say, that sounds like a story for our Spain correspondents, Nina and Marcky Granena.
LEELA: You got it. Over to you guys!
NINA: Thank uou guys. Well, in the city of Buñol near Valencia every year, people gather for the Tomatina...
MARCKY: Which is, basically, the biggest tomato fight you’ve ever seen.
NINA: It started back in 1945 when, story has it, a group of school children started a food fight. The tradition continued for years, until...
MARCKY: The mean dictator Franco put an end to the festival. Booo!
NINA: Eventually, the festival was re-instated and became even more popular.
MARCKY: Today 20,000 people come, just to throw tomatoes at each other!
NINA: There are roughly 130 tons of tomatoes used in the fight. All over-ripe and grown just for the Tomatina!
MARCKY: There's only one rule...squash before you toss.
NINA: No one wants a black eye and a tomato in the face.
MARCKY: One hour later, it’s over. Fire trucks come and clean everything up.
NINA: And, fab fact: Did you know, all the acid from the tomatoes actually leaves the streets cleaner than they were before!? Personally, you’ll never see me at the Tomatina. Tomatoes make me gag.
MARCKY: For me, I’d like to see a chocolate milk fight. Marsh-mellows? Oooh, I know, how about we smear Nutella on everything and roll around it in?
Siblings, am i right????
In Barcelona, this is Nina and Marcky Granena for Newsy Poolozi
LEELA: Love it! Thanks so much, y’all for this… juicy story!
MAMA: Aahhh, nice one.

FAB FACTS STING – LEELA: “And it’s time to wrap up the podcast with the top five fab facts heard today. Here goes…”
MAMA: FAB FACT NUMBER 1 – People in Denmark donate sick or dying pets to a zoo to feed to their lions and tigers. Of course, the sick pets are humanely and painlessly put down first – what’s the fancy word for that?
Euthanize
LEELA: FAB FACT NUMBER 2 – A never-before seen orange shark is spotted off the coast of Costa Rica. Scientists said its color was probably caused by two rare genetic conditions-albinism and xanthism (SANTH-ISM). What is albinism?
When you lack melanin pigment and appear white
MAMA: FAB FACT NUMBER 3 – – And when a manta-ray was found in a bright shade of Barbie pink, off the coast of Australia, experts also believed that strange color was caused by genetics. This time an over production of reddish pigments or underproduction of typical dark pigments (which can be the cause of red hair in humans), called what?
Erythrism
LEELA: FAB FACT NUMBER 4 – Your tech gadgets could be battery free thanks to a breakthrough in indoor solar technology using a crystalized material that can be adjusted and manipulated, so it absorbs indoor light rays better. What’s that material called?
Perovskite (puh-RAHV-skight)
MAMA: FAB FACT NUMBER 5 – A group from Purdue University in Indiana are reopening the search for Amelia Earhart’s plane as satellite images show what might possibly be the wrecked aircraft on the shoreline of an uninhabited island out in the Pacific Ocean. When did the ground-breaking pilot disappear?
1937
