Winner of BEST FAMILY PODCAST at the 2021 British Podcast Awards – Welcome to Maddie's Sound Explorers, a new podcast hosted by Maddie Moate. In each episode Maddie will explore the sounds of science and nature, joined by experts who'll guide us on all kinds of journeys; into a beehive, down the plughole, or up into a cloud! In each episode, we'll bring you a new piece of music made from the noises we discover. Listen out for interesting sounds as we go along. We'll be going to some very interesting places because Sound Explorers can go anywhere! Maddie's Sound Explorers is brought to you by Magic Star.
