“Mega-basins”, at the school of astronauts and advice for sleeping well: the news at child height

Each week, the podcast Hi info! tells the news at the height of children, a program of franceinfo radio and Astrapi magazine. In each episode, a child accompanies the journalist Estelle to present the news of the week and participate in the different sections of the show.

What are “mega-basins”?

This week, Arthur asks his questions about the “mega-basins” that are making the news. On March 25, a demonstration against the project took place in Sainte-Soline, causing many injuries. “What does ‘mega-basin’ mean?”asks the young listener. “I would like to know why they are against”, continues Arthur about the opponents of the project. The program of the week gives him answers, to listen to in this episode.

For the new promotion of European astronauts, it’s time to train! Since Monday April 3, they have been training in Germany. Among them is the French Sophie Adenot. At the microphone of franceinfo, astronaut Thomas Pesquet explains what this training consists of.

Tips for getting to sleep

The time change still has its effects on some people’s sleep… But how do you sleep well? What is a good night’s sleep? With the help of a doctor specializing in the subject, our journalist from Astrapi Agathe explains everything to the children.

With the section “We tell each other everything”, children can ask for advice to solve the small problems of their daily life. Adèle asks us for advice on how to help a little girl from her dance class who has just arrived and doesn’t have too many friends. With the help of a psychologist, Hi info! encourages him and gives him advice.

As in each episode, we also listen to three jokes left by the children on the show’s answering machine on 01 47 79 40 00. In the “Club Salut l’info!”, we also discover the song and favorite games of Arthur, our guest listener of the week.

Good listening !
