The Week Junior Show

The UK government’s proposed social media ban for those under 16 sparks debate, with parents and young people expressing mixed reactions regarding potential restrictions on platforms like TikTok and Instagram. Meanwhile, the global Parkrun initiative celebrates its one-millionth event, highlighting its growth from a small local gathering in 2004 to an international community movement. The discussion extends to the complex question of whether the UK should rejoin the EU, weighing the benefits of the European Single Market against the challenges of re-entry and current trade autonomy. Additional segments feature insights into the science of flight, a review of Christopher Galvin’s *The Thing About Giants*, and a celebration of community contributions, including a successful bake sale for the charity Crisis. Listeners also engage through interactive segments like "Real or Rubbish" and various book award voting opportunities.
