What's It About?
QUENTIN AND ALFIE'S ABC ADVENTURES is a fun podcast that takes the youngest listeners to many exciting places associated with the targeted letter sound for each episode. Alfie and his babysitter Quentin explore, sing songs, and help problem solve, meeting friends associated with a specific alphabet sound along the way. For example, in their alphabet adventure for the letter J, they head to a trampoline park where Alfie joyfully jumps, jogs, jiggles, and jokes throughout the show while wearing a jacket, eating a jelly sandwich, and singing jazz. The podcast series offers 26 episodes, focusing on a unique letter from the English alphabet, A-Z, and 5 bonus episodes dedicated to each long vowel sound, A, E, I, O, and U.
