Hello and welcome to The Week Junior Show. I'm Bex and I'm joined by writers Joe and Eve from the Week Junior, the magazine making sense of the world for 8 to 14 year olds.

Now in a week where the Met Office announced the UK had recorded its warmest summer and South Korea announced a mobile phone ban in schools.

We're going to be discussing some of the other stories

that feature in the latest issue of this week's magazine. So make sure you're listening closely because at the end of the episode, we'll be asking a question about what you've heard, and if you answer it correctly, you could win a prize. But before we begin, there's something I want to talk to you both about later in this episode. We'll be talking about a 34-year-old time capsule that was recently opened

and it got me thinking, if you were to make a time capsule for people to open in the future,

what would you put in there? Eve, go on. What would you pop in there? Well, I was just thinking

what would be a good thing to represent the year 2025 and what's been,

what's been, you know, popping off in the year 2025. And I'm thinking I would put in the

album of the K-pop Demon Hunters soundtrack because that film, that film has, you know,

it's the most watched film on Netflix of all time. I personally have

watched it twice. I love it. The songs are amazing. I've got it in my head all the time. And I just

think it perfectly encapsulates the year of 2025. I mean, we were talking recently about how much

you love that film. I still haven't seen it, but I do have the song Golden in my head quite a lot. Joe had his head in his hands, as you were saying that. Joe, not a fan still? No, it's becoming a bit of a kind of running gag in the office. I feel like one by one, everyone who works at the week junior is kind of falling victim to this film and loving it. and I'm kind of the only one that's seen it and isn't a huge fan, like the last one standing.

Yeah. falling victim to this film and loving it. And I'm kind of the only one that's seen it and isn't a huge fan, like the last one standing.

Yeah. So I'm sort of starting to despair a little bit. But, you know, there you go. Not my thing. Not my thing, I guess. So you wouldn't put that in the time capsule. What would you put in the time capsule? So I would put in some newspapers so people could see what was going on at the time, going on now.

They could read about Taylor Swift's engagement or see the latest football scores. And of course, no coverage of current affairs would be complete without the week junior.

So I'd put a couple of copies of our magazine in there too actually and

at my dad's house is a newspaper that my parents bought the day i was born it's really faded now

of course and quite brown but it's really cool uh i think paul gascoyne was moving to laxia or something at the time, which gives away my age.

That's a good idea. I mean, newspapers are the classic thing to put in time capsules. I was trying

to think of technology because that's kind of defining us as well. And I'd put in a smartphone,

maybe with a charger as well, because I think it would run out of charge if we were to leave it for a few years. But yeah, the idea that like smartphones have progressed so much since, you know, say 34 years ago since this time capsule was made, what will they be like in the future? What will they look like? What will they do for you? So I think I'd pop in, not my phone, obviously, but someone else is, or like I could buy one. I wouldn't, you know, I need my phone. But I think that's what I would do, but this is a really interesting one. Or maybe, maybe you're listening at home thinking, you know exactly what you put into a time capsule, perhaps some sweets or a picture of being your family, whatever it would be.
