“Hello News!” podcast every week. delivers news to children aged 7-11, produced by Franceinfo radio and Astrapi magazine. Children talk throughout the program: they comment on current events, ask questions, ask for advice or even tell jokes. Host Estelle welcomes almost 9-year-old Lorraine to co-host this week’s episode.

Just like her, kids can participate in our show every week : to log in, simply leave a message on our answering machine at 01 47 79 40 00 stating the child’s name, age and parents’ phone number.

“Eternal” pollutants

The news this week is mainly the news received by the representatives. Prohibits the use of pollutants, PFAS. “What are PFAS?” Lorraine asks into the microphone. The answer in this show.

Also on the agenda : the fight against cyberbullying ! An important topic to discuss with children. That’s why Astrapi magazine (which co-produces this podcast) has just released a brochure to combat online harassment, with the help of the Ministry for the Digital Economy. It is aimed at children aged 7 to 12 and can be downloaded from the Bayard Jeunesse website. There is also a free phone number if you are a victim of harassment: 3018, because it is always necessary to talk about it with those around you and not to be alone with your problems.

For some of our listeners, the holidays are… The option “Hello news!” to go stick out the microphones at the Paris Zoo, which is celebrating its tenth anniversary on April 13th and 14th (and kids under 13 get in for free!). Chloé from franceinfo was able to interview Stéphanie, who takes care of the lemurs on a daily basis.
