About Armchair Adventures
Armchair Adventures is an interactive story podcast for kids!
It’s about a teenager called Connie, who lives with her parents above their struggling, family-run travel agents. She has to find a way to save the business, so she reaches out to their ‘lovely customers’. Together they hatch a plan and invent a different way to take a holiday – using your imagination!
In each, sing and move-along episode, you join Connie and her plucky team of explorers as they take you on an Armchair Adventure. You’ll visit magical places and meet extraordinary people, from tackling the biggest obstacle course on earth or travelling the world on a magical bike, to visiting a superheroes secret lair or trekking on a extraordinary tree top walk!
Armchair Adventures is designed for kids to listen on their own, together with their family or with a group of friends. Our young adventurers say that Armchair Adventurers is perfect to listen to on long car journeys, as a bedtime story or for fun on rainy days.
…And now you can become an adventurer too with our Armchair Adventures Fan Club. We also have free activities and resources, an interactive art installation and an outreach programme for you to join in with – There are endless possibilities for your next adventure!
How it started
Armchair Adventures is produced by Made By Mortals.
We’re a not-for-profit participatory arts organisation from Greater Manchester. We create podcasts, films and music theatre shows that bring people’s experience to life. You can find out more about us here.
We started working on Armchair Adventures in March 2020 with our theatre group of over 60s. Like many people, our community was suffering from isolation and loneliness because of lockdown. So, we wanted to create something that could boost wellbeing, be fun, and be able to be enjoyed by all of the family. Most importantly we wanted to design an experience that could be loved by anyone, at any time. Armchair Adventures was our response.
Each episode features the ideas, stories and voices of our over 60s theatre group.
In total, over 60 local older people and 25 local musicians, scriptwriters, producers, designers, filmmakers and actors make each series.
