Youthlocal S6E14 Ulladulla

This week on Shoalhaven Youthlocal, the team heads back to the First World War, asks whether schools should teach young people about inequality, investigates one of America’s most famous unsolved cases, and discovers exactly who among the Youthlocal crew is most likely to swim with sharks!

📚 Book Nook reviews The Last Charge of the Australian Light Horse by Peter FitzSimons. Arlo gives this one an impressive six stars out of five, praising its research and storytelling as he explores the Australian Light Horse, the soldiers and horses who served in the Middle East during World War I, and the enormous logistics involved in moving and caring for so many horses during wartime.

💬 Hot Topic asks: Should schools teach students about inequality? The team discusses whether these conversations belong in the classroom, the inequality young people can encounter themselves, marginalised voices, representation in sport, and whether schools have a responsibility to help students understand experiences beyond their own. As always, there are plenty of different opinions along the way!

🕵️ Morning Cup of Mystery examines the still-unsolved murder of JonBenét Ramsey. The six-year-old was found dead in her family’s Colorado home in 1996 after her parents discovered a ransom note that morning. The team walks through the crime scene, the ransom note, the investigation, DNA evidence and the questions that have kept the case in the public eye for decades. No one has ever been charged, and the homicide investigation remains open.

😂 Who’s Most Likely To? is back! Who would accidentally become the face of a major cause? Break a bone doing something simple? Take up an extreme sport? Scream in a haunted house? Throw a birthday party for their pet? Swim with sharks? Become a farmer? And who has the greatest chance of ending up with an embarrassing tattoo? The team knows each other pretty well by now — although they definitely don’t always agree!

It’s another episode packed with history, big questions, mystery, laughter and young people sharing what they really think.
