Hello and welcome to The Week Junior Show. I'm Bex and I'm joined by writers Eve and Joe from

0:08.9

The Week Junior, the magazine Making Sense of the World for 8 to 14 year olds. This week, the team

0:14.3

will be talking about some amazing planet protectors, some musical mayonnaise and how you can

0:20.4

unearth your local area's history.

0:22.7

We'll also be having a big debate about whether football kits are too expensive.

0:27.2

Now, make sure you're listening closely, because at the end of this episode, we'll be asking

you a question about what you've heard, and if you answer it correctly, you could win a prize.

0:35.4

But more on that later. In this week's issue, there's a feature

0:38.5

1:17.7

included the toilet stuff there. Excellent. You were honest. I appreciate that. Joe, how about you?

1:22.6

I think I trade bodies with the footballer Lionel Messi on a day that he was playing in a match. I think that

1:29.4

experience would be amazing with all the fans screaming and cheering your name. And in this scenario,

1:35.3

do I get Messi's footballing talent for a day? Or am I just me in Messi's body? I think you get

1:42.0

his talent in day. Okay. Yeah. Then I'm especially keen I'll be in Messi because, you know, if I'm playing in a match,

1:48.9

1:50.3

Imagine how incredible that would be.
