We’ve been working with the team to help them promote the podcast, so more kids around the world can enjoy these fun and unique adventures. Here’s more about how we work on Armchair Adventures here.

What’s it about

Armchair Adventures follows Connie, a teenager from Manchester. She has to find a way to save her parents’ travel agency business, so she reaches out to their customers for help.

Together they hatch a plan and invent a different way to take a holiday – by using your imagination!

In each episode you join Connie and her plucky gang of explorers on an exciting Armchair Adventure visiting magical places and meeting extraordinary people, from partying with the Queen to visiting a superhero’s secret lair!

Armchair Adventures is really warm, it’s funny, it doesn’t take itself too seriously, it’s not cynical. It’s just a really really worthwhile project.
