Armchair Adventures: A Join-In Story Podcast for Kids

“In the forces we do almost everything as a team, which really helps to get the job done and reduce feelings of stress at the same time.”

Connie has been feeling a bit stressed out. There’s loads to do behind the scenes to make an Armchair Adventures episode and she has been tackling it all alone.

Luckily, some of her customers know a thing or two about camaraderie after their time in the armed forces. Everyone gets a job to help get the latest episodes ready, including you adventurer!

But when some unexpected obstacles get in the way, will Connie and the gang be able to pull together and get the job done?

A Camaraderie Adventure is proudly funded by Veterans’ Foundation.

“It’s important to know the past, so that we can learn for the future.”

Have you ever wondered what the place where you live was like in the olden days?? ⏳

Well John, one of Connie's lovely travel customers, likes to go for long walks along the canals in his hometown of Ashton-under-Lyne. He LOVES to look at all the history he can see, like all the once busy and bustling cotton mills that are left empty now.

But what if you could go back and see it in REAL LIFE!? 🤯

Are you ready to go back in time adventurers!! I wonder who Connie and the gang will meet!?

Sometimes it's easy to not think about our local history. But it’s all around us, you just have to take a good look. 👀

Let’s go guys! It's time to hop on John's MAGICAL time-traveling canal boat! All aboard! 🚤
