In this week's episode, Biz-E learns that in order to save the money she’s going to need to buy her mobile phone, she’s going to need to save and budget. She learns that budgeting is something that every household has to do. On a visit to the supermarket, she comes to understand the importance of money management. Plus she learns the important distinction between needs and wants.

Each week, we give the world globe a spin, and see where we land. Then we take the kids of Australia on an audio excursion to visit that country and its people.

Biz-E the Bee really wants a mobile phone. Bryce and Amanda explain she’s going to need money for that - but she’s got no idea what money is. The team behind the award-winning Squiz Kids podcast give Biz-E a brief history of money: how we used to trade sheep and goats, how and why currency was invented; what sort of money we have here in Australia; how it’s ‘made’ in a place called The Mint; and how you have to work to get it. Proudly supported by NGS Super - a leading super fund for teachers.

Solomon Islands are one of Australia's closest neighbours, and they've been in the news lately because of a security pact they've signed with China. We'll learn about why that's a big deal... but also about how kids in Solomon Islands get to school; how to speak some pijin; and who the Bilikiki Boys are.  Each week, we give the world globe a spin, and see where we land. Then we take the kids of Australia on an audio excursion to visit that country and its people.
