PODCAST. Governing France, the dizzying challenge of a YouTuber and having a pet: the news at a child’s height

YouTuber Inoxtag on Everest, the French government and advice on having a pet: this is the menu for the new episode of “Salut l’info!”

Every week, the podcast “Salut l’info!” tells the news to 7-11 year olds, a production of radio franceinfo and the magazine Astrapi. The children speak throughout the show: to comment on the news, ask questions, ask for advice or tell jokes. To co-present the episode of the week, “Salut l’info!” welcomes Louise, 8 years old, who loves Mortelle Adèle.

In France, a Prime Minister was appointed by the President, responsible for choosing his ministers and forming a government. Deputies, ministers, Prime Minister, President of the Republic… But who governs France? Thanks to a mini-play, “Salut l’info!” explains everything to children.

Also on the program: we look back at a climb that got people talking! That of the YouTuber Inoxtag at the summit of Everest, in Asia. Why is it controversial? Answers in this episode.

In Lebanon, a country located in the Middle East, a series of explosions have left dozens dead. What is the connection between Lebanon and the war in Gaza? Pauline from franceinfo explains the situation to children.
