The Puffin Podcast Episode 1

Humza and the gang dive under the sea to ask: 'how many hearts does a whale have?'

They battle it out in the joke-off, play the story generator game to find the wildest story from the bottom of the ocean, and Ausra, Theo and Ayisha guess if Humza’s tale of a suspicious jellyfish is true or false!

Plus, listen to an extract of Cream Buns and Crime by Robin Stevens.
