Podomedy, the UK’s independent comedy podcast network, has launched Dex's History Hunters, a new story-led podcast designed to bring history to life for children and adults.
Framed as a series of immersive missions, Dex's History Hunters takes young listeners through the hidden stories of London’s most iconic locations. Each episode blends narrative storytelling, real-world exploration and sound-led echoes from the past, creating a format that is both engaging for children and credible for parents.
This podcast features Dex as the guide, a Junior Hunter representing the listener and carefully crafted moments that bring historical voices to life. The result is a short, repeatable, scalable format that combines education with entertainment and lends itself naturally to brand integration.
“We wanted to create a fresh concept that sits between a great story and the world's best history lesson,” said Damien St John, Co-Founder and CEO of Podomedy. “Kids don’t just want facts, they want adventure and to feel like they’re part of something. London has such a rich history and is the perfect place for Dex and his History Hunters to start their journey. This format lets them explore, question and discover the city alongside their grownups.”
The launch of Dex's History Hunters also signals Podomedy’s move into children’s and family audio as a commercial category, building on its track record of developing award-winning podcast formats.
With growing demand for trusted, high-quality content for younger audiences, the series has been designed from the ground up to support educational alignment and rich audio storytelling that is rooted in real-world experiences and designed for co-listening amongst children and parents or guardians.
Season one begins with Ravens at the Tower, followed by the Great Fire of London, Ghosts of the Underground and The Temple of Mithras.
Dex's History Hunters is a Podomedy original production and available on all major podcast platforms including Apple Podcasts and Spotify. It is not affiliated with any of the locations featured during the series.
Brands looking to connect with family audiences through audio should get in touch.
