EPISODE- 202
LEELA: This episode… Israel’s ceasefire and Trump’s Nobel ambitions, India’s 75-day festival, the world’s most famous chimp expert passes away, the US fat bear competition and the Ig-Nobel prize winners.
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. Yes, this is your one-stop-shop for the most interesting and important news happening around the world.
LEELA: This month…
Israel and Hamas militants agree to a major ceasefire, which many suspect will pave the way to a larger peace deal. But will it help Donald Trump in his ambitions to get a Nobel Peace Prize?
Festival season is on in India – but have you heard of the 75-day festival that is the longest-lasting in the world? We have a special on-site report.
The world’s leading primatologist (as in a person who studies primates!) passes away – we’ll tell you why Jane Goodall was known as the “chimp whisperer.”
And with winter fast approaching in the northern hemisphere, bears in the US are fattening up for hibernation – but which cuddly creature will win the Fat Bear Competition?
And forget about the Nobel prizes – the other ones are perhaps more interesting, or, at least more odd! Confused – well, listen to the end and you’ll be all the wiser.
LEELA: OK then, let’s dive on in. First up, it’s the…
BIG NEWS STORY STING – VARIOUS VOICES: “The Big news story of the week!”
MAMA: We’re staring out this episode with some big, important news out of Gaza.
LEELA: And good news at that. (Finally.)
MAMA: Well, good news that’s teetering on the edge of becoming bad news… but we’ll get to that!
LEELA: You probably remember that Gaza is the strip of land in the Middle East where Palestinians live, but that Israel was bombing to try and root out Hamas militants.
MAMA: Exactly. And just to break that down a little bit more… two years ago on October 7th, Hamas…
LEELA: That’s a terrorist group who had been in charge in Palestine.
MAMA: Yes, well, Hamas carried out a terrible attack just over two years ago in Israel. They snuck into an outdoor music concert and a nearby neighborhood, then killed 1200 people, and kidnapped 251 others.
LEELA: Yes, I remember. That was seriously scary.
MAMA: Exactly. And, understandably, being devastated and angry – Israel retaliated.
LEELA: That means they “got back at them,” like, responded by doing something harmful in return.
MAMA: Yes, Israel retaliated for the attack by carrying out attacks of their own on a number of locations inside Gaza to try and destroy Hamas.
LEELA: But…
MAMA: But many of the Hamas members were being harbored…
LEELA: Which means hidden.
MAMA: Ah-huh. They were being hidden in places like hospitals, and even schools, in Gaza. They were living with regular citizens. So, when the Israeli Defense Forces, or IDF, were trying to get rid of, or destroy, Hamas, they also got rid of many normal citizens who were living near Hamas.
LEELA: “Got rid of normal citizens” … You mean they were killed? Like how many people are we talking?
MAMA: According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, over 67,000 people have been killed by the IDF.
LEELA: Whoa – that’s WAY more than the 1200 Israelis who were killed by Hamas.
MAMA: Yep. And more than 20,000 of those killed in Gaza are thought to be children.
LEELA: That’s really, really scary.
MAMA: Yes. The IDF say, to really root out Hamas, they had to launch a LOT of bombs. And rockets. And drone strikes. And, well, they really did destroy Gaza.
LEELA: So, like, all the buildings, all the hospitals, all the schools, mosques, everything?
MAMA: Everything. The entire area has been reduced to rubble, making life extremely difficult for Palestinians. They have no food, water, or medical care.
LEELA: And that is why the rest of the world has been getting kind of upset with Israel, saying it’s been taking their retaliation too far?
MAMA: Right. And so the pressure has been on Israel and its biggest ally, the US.
LEELA: Aha – and isn’t there all this talk about US President Trump wanting desperately to get a Nobel Peace Prize?
MAMA: Right – enter Trump, who likes to call himself the unifier – a leader who doesn’t like wars and conflicts – a peacemaker. And, yes, seems super keen on getting awarded a Nobel Peace Prize. Something four US presidents, including Barak Obama, have received.
LEELA: And as a refresher, Nobel awards are given to people who make extraordinary breakthroughs in science, literature or peace.
MAMA: Thank you – and of course we’ve done a deep dive on the Nobel prizes with our explainer in Episode 120 – for anyone who wants a bit more.
LEELA: But back to this year, the award for peace went political activist in Venezuela, María Corina Machado.
MAMA: You got it. To which the White House accused the Nobel Committee of placing “politics over peace” for not giving the award to Trump, who’s taken credit for ending several global conflicts.
LEELA: Hmmmm…
MAMA: But, hey, if Trump’s peace prize desires are strong enough to motivate him to motivate others… then, hey, peace by any means necessary, right?
LEELA: But this wasn’t a peace deal Hamas and Israel signed, right?
MAMA: Exactly. It’s just a ceasefire.
LEELA: Which means both sides agree to stop fighting.
MAMA: Yep, but remember – we’ve been here before back in February in episode 191 — when we heard from both Israeli and Palestinian kids, who were both so hopeful…
LEELA: But it didn’t last, clearly.
MAMA: And some people say this current ceasefire may be too. Right now both sides agreed that Israel would withdraw its troops from Gaza, and Hamas would return the remaining living hostages. But it’s all very fragile.
LEELA: So, what’s going to happen now?
MAMA: It’s a very tense game of wait-and-see at this point. Hamas still needs to turn over some of the remains of the hostages that died.
LEELA: And Israel needs to promise not to start bombing Gaza again?
MAMA: Right. But guess what? Israeli airstrikes have resumed in Gaza after Hamas fighters allegedly attacked Israeli troops with grenades and sniper fire. But Hamas denies starting this new round, claiming Israel violated the ceasefire first by bombing civilian areas and restricting aid. And so it goes… Alright – it’s time to lighten things up a bit!

ACE STING – LEELA/MAMA: “Now it’s the ace part of our podcast: Arts, Culture and Entertainment. Darling.”
MAMA: This is a big cultural story. And when I say big, well, really, I mean looooooong!
LEELA: Oh, yes – festival season is well under way here in India. I gotta say one of the things I like best about being a mixed kid is I get twice the amount of festivals and holidays to celebrate!
MAMA: Yes, you lucky duck.
LEELA: Here in India, Autumn doesn’t just mean the end of the monsoon. It also means the beginning of parties and festivals –
MAMA: Which we’ve extensively covered before in Episodes 122 and Episodes 164, among others.
LEELA: Yep, here we have several festivals celebrating hope and light from Ganpati to Diwali before I move on to Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
MAMA: I hear you. I think one of the things I love most about festivals and cultural traditions is that it makes me feel like a time traveler, because sometimes we get to witness things that go back not just centuries but millennia…
LEELA: Which you recently did when you were covering a story for your real job, or should I say, paid job, as the editor of Village Square, India.
MAMA: Yep, that’s right. I was able to go down the middle of the India on the east side to the state of Chhattisgarh, to the tribal region of Bastar.
LEELA: Now, hold on – when you say tribal you mean…
MAMA: Well, because these are people whose customs and traditions even predate even Hinduism, which is one of the oldest religions in the world.
LEELA: And their holidays aren’t based on the Ramayana or Hindu rituals, but their own ancient culture.
MAMA: That’s right – which is about paying respect to the forest that gives life and – get this – the divine feminine energy – as in some powerful goddesses.
LEELA: Whoa! Girl power!!
MAMA: Seriously. Not just that – but what’s really extraordinary about their autumn festival is it’s the longest festival in the world?
LEELA: When you say long, you mean 2 or 3 weeks?
MAMA: Nope. More.
LEELA: More than a month?
MAMA: Oh, yeah. Like more than twice that.
LEELA: More than two months of…
MAMA: Of basically praying and, well, partying.
LEELA: For more than two months?
MAMA: For 75 days!
LEELA: What??
MAMA: OK, not every single day but over two-and-a-half months there is a constant stream of events, which include things like a religious ceremony in which wood is cut for a grand chariot that is then crafted together – without (get this!) nails.
LEELA: What?! How does that even stay together?
MAMA: The marvels of ancient engineering.
LEELA: You’re telling me.
MAMA: So the story goes that the ancient king called all the tribes together to make this thing. Except one. Who were so angry not to be included that they crept in the dark of night to steal the chariot.
LEELA: Oh! I was not expecting that!
MAMA: Yep, and they’d only return it if king dined with them.
LEELA: Oh, their feelings were seriously hurt. So he had to show some love.
MAMA: Exactly. So that theft and reconciliation (or making up) are symbolically repeated every year.
LEELA: Now is that the one where you wrote about them all looking like they were possessed?
MAMA: No that’s the big climax to their massive festival. When around 600 deities (or gods) from the Bastar districts are summoned to witness a sacred meeting of the two goddesses
LEELA: Wait – 600 gods???
MAMA: Yep, remember, unlike modern religions like Christianity, Islam or Judaism, these old religions believed in tons of gods.
LEELA: Huh. And when you say summoned…?
MAMA: Well, the villagers are carrying the palanquins – you know like a stretcher to carry someone but they’re empty. I mean – they look empty.
LEELA: But…
SFX OF THE FESTIVAL DRUMS
MAMA: Well, on top of the bright red velvet cloth, invisible to the eye, were their gods. Who had also taken possession of… the villagers, who walked or at times ran, miles and miles away form their villages and sometimes running in circles, like they were possessed, to the sacred point which is now in the middle of a small city, called Jagdalpur. Actually – here’s the really spooky thing – according to local legend they ARE possessed!
LEELA: Wait what??
MAMA: Yes, they believe they become possessed by their ancestors who are desperate to get to the sacred meeting place between the two goddesses.
LEELA: Whoa… And then, then, then – tell them about the, well, jumping over armed police.
SFX OF CROWD SCREAMING AND CHEERING
MAMA: Yep, this year the area was blocked off because there was a big stage for local politicians and officials.
LEELA: But that didn’t stop the villagers. Who jumped over the police!!!
MAMA: Who didn’t arrest them because, well, this was their ancient right. It was something. Actually, it was a real privilege to see it – I felt like a time traveler.
LEELA: I wish I’d been there… Then again – noise, crowds… the possibility of getting my feet stepped on. More than once… Maybe I’m happy to have read your story and just watched your video report.
MAMA: Remarkably, my feet were never stepped on. And it was definitely crowded and noisy, but so worth it.
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.”
MAMA: Japan has a new prime minister and… it’s their first woman leader. Sanae Takaichi secured a parliamentary majority after a surprise coalition deal between her Liberal Democratic Party and the right-wing Japan Innovation Party.
In Ukraine, Russia launches a heavy bombardment, so Ukraine sends armed drones to occupied Crimea. This comes as Ukraine’s President Zelensky met US President Trump to discuss potential ceasefire talks, which Russia is rejecting.
Big news for young Instagram users… The app will now restrict teenage users around the world to PG-13-rated content by default. There will also be stricter parental controls and no option for teens to override settings without guardian approval.
And in France, in a brazen seven-minute daylight robbery, four masked thieves stole priceless royal jewels from Paris’s famous Louvre Museum. Yes, a nationwide hunt for the jewel thieves is underway.

LEELA: Well thank you so much for that – oh, you know what I’m gonna say! That whippity-whappity-zippity-zappity wrap of what’s making headlines elsewhere in the world, Mama.
MAMA: Oh, well, anytime, Leela. And now…
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.”
MAMA: Boy, do we have some big nature news this episode.
LEELA: We sure do. And a lot of it too – from the important to the goofy to downright… odd.
MAMA: You got that right! So, let’s get a bit of sad, all be it, important, news out of the way first.
LEELA: Makes sense.
MAMA: So, the world’s most famous primatologist, Dr Jane Goodall, has died at the age of 91.
LEELA: And a primatologist is someone who studies… primates. Which means animals that have big brains like we humans do.
MAMA: Yes, among other things. And for just why she’s so important to her field and, frankly, to all of us humans… I think we need to cut across to our favourite brother-sister duo for the details.
LEELA: Oh, oh, that would be nature lovers, Marky and Nina Granena, of course. Well, over to y’all…
NINA: That’s right, Dr Jane Goodall worked with chimpanziis and gorillas for decades, changing the way we humans think about ourselves, and nature.
MARCKY: But when you say work… I mean… didn’t she, like, live in the jungle of Tanzania, and talk to monkeys? I mean, kinda sorta…??
NINA: Yes – more or less. She spent hours observing chimpanzees – in THEIR habitat – without cages or artificial setups, using a lot of patience and time to gain their trust.
MARCKY: Ok, but…. it’s just that, I mean, living with chimpanzees? Why, exactly, did that make her so famous?
NINA: Well, Dr. Goodall discovered that the chimps did things that were very…humanlike.
MARCKY: Like what?
NINA: Like making tools! In 1960 she observed a chimp using twigs to get termites out of a nest.
MARCKY: Ah, right. Because until then, we humans thought we were the only animals that made or used tools! OK, so what else?
NINA: Well, she discovered that chimps have personalities like we humans do, too.
MARCKY: Really? That seems like common knowledge to me somehow…?.
NINA: That’s all thanks to her! Jane’s videos, pictures and research showed us that chimps share many of the same emotions as humans. Like a mother and child bond.
MARCKY: And… uh… like, you know… sibling rivalry?
NINA: Yes! Funny that. Sibling rivalry, and even… male dominance.
MARCKY: Aha. That old chestnut… So, she showed us that chimpanzees were smarter than we’d thought?
NINA: Pretty much. Her work taught us that humans and chimpanzees are more alike than we ever knew. And that’s a pretty remarkable achievement!
MARCKY: Agreed! Plus, I mean – she LIVED with those creatures – and NO other human – for months at a time. That alone is pretty primal.
NINA You said it.
BOTH: In Barcelona, this is Nina Granena and Marcky Granena for newsy pooloozi– da da da-da daaa!

MAMA: So… staying with nature, well… you know how when we go visit family in the U.S. for Christmas…
LEELA: And it’s cozy and cold outside…
MAMA: Right – some days it’s wet and blustery or even snowy –
LEELA: If only!
MAMA: Well, yes, but when it’s like that sometimes you just want to cuddle up with a cup of hot chocolate and nice blanket and watch old movies?
LEELA: Are you kidding? I want to go outside and soak up the cold!
MAMA: Yeah, well, that’s because living in India means real cold weather is unusual and fun for you… But most people – eventually, anyway – want to stay warm inside.
LEELA: OK, OK. But, ummm… can I ask… what you’re getting at exactly?
MAMA: Well today’s nature story is about when animals do that.
LEELA: Snuggle down with a hot chocolate and watch old movies?
MAMA: Well, yes, in their own way. I’m talking about hibernation.
LEELA: Oh hibernation! That’s when animals like stockpile a bunch of food and then go to sleep for three months or thereabouts.
MAMA: Kinda… Actually, it’s a common misconception that “hibernation” means that animals go to sleep….
LEELA: Oh, do I sense a fab fact coming!?
MAMA: You do indeed! Fab fact: animals don’t go to sleep during hibernation; they actually go into a state of “torpor” (TORpur) where their body sloooooooooows down or completely stops.
LEELA: Like even the heartbeat and breathing?
MAMA: Exactly. When you sleep, those things happen with the same frequency as when you’re awake. Your body is resting when you sleep but your heartbeat and breathing remain regular.
LEELA: So, you’re saying, in a state of torpor, an animal’s heart pumps slower, and their lungs… I guess it inhales air less often.
MAMA: Exactly!
LEELA: Makes sense. But, again, ummm… where are we going with this?
MAMA: Great question, my dear. And the answer is: Fat Bear Week.
LEELA: Fat Bear what?!
MAMA: Fat Bear Week! A competition at a national park in Alaska to see which brown bear has properly fattened up for the upcoming torpor.
LEELA: But what does fattening up have to do with breathing slower and having a slower heartbeat?
MAMA: Well, despite an animal’s body-related functions slowing, they still need some source of nourishment to keep them alive. So, they load up on fatty foods like…
LEELA: Salmon?
MAMA: Yes! The brown bears load up on salmon-which are very fatty fish! The salmon gets broken down in the bears’ bodies into calories and water which keeps them alive during hibernation.
LEELA: And now I know why bears fatten up for hibernation, thank you!
MAMA: And for more on that competition, let’s throw it over to our sister team in the US, Sydney and Eva (eh-va… like “echo”) Gonzales, take it away!
SYDNEY: Thanks guys. So yeah, this year’s Fat Bear Week took place at Alaska’s Katmai (KAT-my) National Park and Preserve during the last week of September.
EVA: A group called “Explore-dot-org”, together with the National Park Service, set up cameras in the park.
SYDNEY: Which provided a 24-hour livestream of the bears.
EVA: You could literally see them standing in the river, catching and eating their dinner!
SYDNEY: On their website, viewers could see before and after pictures of all the contestants.
EVA: To see how fatthey’ve gotten since the start of summer!
SYDNEY: Then you voted on which bear you thought was the fattest.
EVA: This year’s winner was named Chunk who is estimated to weigh like500 kilos, or more than a thousand pounds!
SYDNEY: And, interestingly, park officials say Chunk is recovering from a broken jaw!
EVA: Apparently… he got into a fight with another boy bear. Probably over a girl bear, but they aren’t sure. Ugh, drama! (read it like you’re telling someone some gossip or a secret)
SYDNEY: Anywayyyyyyyy, Chunk beat out the runner up bear, which was named “856”,by like 30,000 votes.
EVA: You know, people are saying that Chunk is a true hero, and that we can all take a lesson from him.
SYDNEY: Oh really? And what lesson would that be?
EVA: When life knocks you on the chin, sometimes, you just have to grin and bear it. (silence) Get it? “bearrrr it?”
SYDNEY: Ugh, sibs. (let me hear your eyes rolling! Hahaha!)
(together) In Washington DC this is Sydney and Eva Gonzales for Newsy Pooloozi!
LEELA: Well, thank you both very much! Nothing like a good pun, is there?
MAMA: Yep, especially when talking about the bare necessities of nature.
LEELA: Ha ha… And finally – if you can bear with me – let’s see what the lucky dip machine has for us this week.
MAMA: Oh, I’ll bear it in mind.
LEELA: Ok I think we’ve got to stop now…
MAMA: Before we suffocate our listeners with our unbearable puns? Yeah, probably.

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: Well, how fitting is this oddball!
MAMA: Well, I don’t know – what exactly has the lucky dip machine spit out, might I ask?
LEELA: Well, it’s not only keeping with our nature-packed theme in the second half of this episode.
MAMA: I mean fat bears and their competition was a wee bit odd anyway… There’s odder nature news than that these days?
LEELA: Yep, and not just that! This is a story about an oddlittle award that goes to the … well, the oddest… experiments and projects being carried out by real scientists and researchers!
MAMA: Oh, now that reminds me of a story we did waaaaay back in 2020
LEELA: Five years ago!?!
MAMA: Yep. It was in fact one of the very first oddball stories we did on our show. It was about a group of scientists in Botswana
LEELA: That ‘s in Africa.
MAMA: Yes, well they did something pretty unique to protect cows from being eaten by lions.
LEELA: Oh yeah! I remember! They painted faces on the butts or, ummm, backsides, of cows to scare away lions!
MAMA: That’s right! I LOVED that story!
LEELA: In fact, funny, you should mention that because one of the winners of the Ig Nobelwas awarded for something similar.
MAMA: Oh really? Is that the name of the award? The Ig Nobel?
LEELA: Yes! Get it? Ignobel, as in something that’s lowly or lacking in nobility, your highness. It’s a play on the prestigious Nobel award – which we talked about earlier.
MAMA: Oh, yes.
LEELA: Although, to be fair, the Ig Nobel awards – started in 1991 – are about spotlighting funny, quirky or even absurd studies that actually reveal something about science and human behaviour.
MAMA: Gotcha.
LEELA: Or put another way – the IgNobel awards are given to people who study … well… things that are odd! And one of the winners was a group from Japan that painted zebra stripes on cows to see if they’d be less bothered by flies.
MAMA: Oooh! I love it! Did it work?
LEELA: Yes! And it was just one of the zainy ideas that was honored.
MAMA: There are more?
LEELA: Yes! Another group found that a small amount of alcohol can improve a person’s ability to speak a foreign language.
MAMA: Ha! I’ve always suspected that… OK, who else won?
LEELA: One group studied fingernail growth, and another group from India studied how smelly shoes influence a person’s use of a shoe rack.
MAMA: Oh wow! What a stinker!
LEELA: And yet another group studied the effects of alcohol on bats. As in, would it affect their ability to fly.
MAMA: Lemme guess…. It did?
LEELA: Yep, it did. So, all these scientists working on their zany ideas were honored at a ceremony in Boston.
MAMA: Finally, a competition where you’re a winner as the odd one out.
LEELA: I know, right? I told you this was the perfect oddball story!
MAMA: Oddly enough, you did.
