Hello, I'm Bex and welcome to The Week Junior show. Today I'm joined by two of the team from the week junior, the magazine Making Sense of the World for 8 to 14 year olds.

We've got writer Eve and editorial assistant Elena. So lots to cover in today's episode. We're going to be talking about the firefighters tackling wildfires in Los Angeles in the US, how technology is helping Emperor Penguins and a new theatre company in Wales.
