Join Astrid, Eve, Harper, and Lennon, as they boldly go where no kid has gone before, encountering everything from garden galaxies to supernovas, from multiple replicas of Earth to a cluster of singing orbs that seem to be holding the very fabrics of the Universe together.
Listen to the first episode, Portal Galaxy, up top now. The crew of the spectacular Irish Space Station (Big SISS for short) travels to a galaxy full of mysterious portals which teleport the ship across the cosmos in an instant. It's all good fun, until they find themselves drawn to a particularly large portal, surrounded by an eerie yellow glow.
Galaxy Fest will educate and inspire, immersing listeners in a rich soundscape of adventure, bringing the impossible to life via a combination of meticulous sound design, and knockout performances by a cast of young stars.
Core concepts of STEM learning are placed front and centre of each episode, delivered with a comic flair that means you won’t even notice you’re being educated. That’s right: we’re tricking you into learning!
Galaxy Fest’s cast of young stars was sourced through writer Aidan Fitzmaurice’s (Callan's Kicks, Now Show, Storytime Takeover) creative comedy workshops, and this mix of experience and fresh enthusiasm will set it apart from anything else on this planet. Or this Solar System. Or this entire Universe.
Above all else, Galaxy Fest will be funny, exciting and unpredictable for young listeners, opening their imaginations up to an infinite universe of possibilities. Strap in, it’s time to let your imagination go supernova with Galaxy Fest!
