Armchair Adventures: A Join-In Story Podcast for Kids

“There's nothing better than taking my shoes and socks off, and the water lapping across your feet.”

Jean’s favourite hobby is drawing. So when she suggests to Connie they should draw their next Armchair Adventure, our Chief Adventurer isn’t too sure.

Connie doesn’t think she’s a very good artist! But with a little helpful persuasion from her fellow explorers they take the trip of a lifetime to a gorgeous sandy beach full of memories and joy. Although, when a huge storm hits, they have to work together to get back to safety...

Join Jean, Connie and her lovely customers on their latest sketchy Armchair Adventure!

In this episode, Connie also launched a drawing competition for you to win some amazing prizes! Listen for details on how to enter.

Connie’s running out of time to write a play on the roman invasion of Britain for her drama class, so she asks Uncle Chris and his community theatre company to lend her a hand!

‘Silence! You’re forgetting one thing everyone...I am no longer Uncle Chris...I am the emperor of Rome, and emperors do whatever they like!’

🏛️🏆🐎

Styling himself as the new emperor of Rome, Uncle chris takes us to a giant amphitheatre, where he pits the Roman Empire against ancient Britain to gather up the facts for Connie.

Here we see Boudicca queen of the Iceni tribe take on Emperor Claudius of Rome in a few rather silly challenges to impress Emperor Uncle Chris! But who will emerge victorious! And will everybody stay in one piece? Join us on our adventure to find out!

The next stop is the string family from the ice cream parlour! Mrs Maestro's journey to get the musicians in the orchestra to the super-duper concert on time continues. Mrs Maestro gets confused when it's time to pay for all those delicious ice creams, and Connie and her customers come to her aid.

🚌🎻🍦

“Don’t worry Mrs Maestro, let’s do it together. We’ll help you. Isn’t that right gang?”

The next pickup is the brass family from the Great Grand Palace- a royal but somewhat overwhelming experience. And then it’s the percussion family from the disco, and it’s time to dance, dance, dance! In this episode, we continue honing our conducting skills using hand gestures to control the music. But don’t worry, the professional conductor is meeting us at the concert hall to conduct the orchestra in the super-duper concert. But only if we can get the musicians there on time! And now we are running super late!
