| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to The Week Junior show. I'm Bex and I'm joined by writers Joe and Eve from |
| 0:06.7 | the Week Junior, the magazine Making Sense of the World for 8 to 14 year olds. In a week where people |
| 0:12.0 | marked Remembrance Day and Wales welcomed a new Archbishop, we're going to be talking about |
| 0:16.4 | some of the other stories that inspired and entertained the Week Junior team. Now make sure you're listening closely because at the end of this episode, we'll be asking |

| 1:19.8 | even if one of us won, we still had to keep the Bay Blades safe. |
| 1:23.5 | And secure for the next tournament, I imagine. |
