Welcome to The Week Junior Show. I'm Bex and I'm joined by writers Kay and Joe from the Week Junior,

the magazine Making Sense of the World, Pete for 14-year-old. Now, in a week by Armenia and Azerbaijan

agreed a peatheed deal and firefighters battles ablaze on Arthur's seat in Edinburgh, we're going

to be discussing some of the other stories that feature in the latest issue of the magazine.

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 twice. But before we begin, there's something I want to talk to you both about now in the magazine this week. There's a story about strange life in ocean trenches, which got me thinking, what is the strangest creature you've seen in real life? Joe, what do you have for me?

So when I was young, my parents would take me on holiday to this tiny Greek island called Paxos.

It was only five miles long, and you got the boat to it from Corfu. We went a few times and I remember spotting some great marine life along the coast and around

the harbour while I was there.

There were eels which had kind of a leopard print pattern on them.

They were really cool.

I saw an octopus and sea cucumbers which at least to my eyes look a bit like marine slugs. They're a bit alien-like.

And I remember the ones I saw were bright red, saw them around the harbour. They were

kind of weird and a bit spooky, but really cool. Oh, I see cucumber. Okay, that's a great

answer. I don't think I've ever seen one. Or maybe I just haven't recognised when I have.

Kay, how about you?

So, yeah, when I was younger, I used to go to Whitstable quite a lot

and there's a harbour there.

And there was a fisherman with a massive bucket of welks,

which I just learned are the largest sea snow in the UK. But these ones were

boiled up and kind of pickled, I guess. And I'm not a big lover of seafood, really, but my brother

loved shellfish growing up. Like he could eat kind of a massive bowl of muscles or, yeah, anything sort of with a shell.

He's for some reason loved.
