May Mayhem - Nick Jr. Unveils New Podcast Slate For Next Week

 Following the heels of the successful new Dora reboot and lack of audio podcasts for preschool children, Nickelodeon has fixed the problem with the greenlight of three all-new audio podcast series, plus the renewal of an old favorite!

First up on Monday, May 13th is Dora the Explorer: Recipe for Adventure (Season 1, 10 episodes), based on the recently launched Paramount+ recent reboot series based on the hit global franchise that was released last month. In this series, Kathleen Herles and Diana Zermeno invite your youngster to help them cook all sorts of tasty and deliciosi Mexican dishes.

Next on Tuesday, May 14th is the highly anticipated second season of Blue's Clues & You! Storytime with Josh & Blue (Season 2, 14 episodes), the second season of the award-winning podcast that launched back in August 2020. This iconic series hosted by Joshua Dela Cruz and Traci Paige Johnson helps young children snuggle down to their bedtime at night.

Then on Wednesday, May 15th is the launch of Nick Jr. Goodnight Bedime Stories (Season 1, 20 episodes) which follows the adventures of the Nick Jr channel's greatest cash cow franchises as they go on marvelous new adventures to help kids snuggle down to bedtime. This series follows the adventures of Blue's Clues, Dora the Explorer, PAW Patrol and Blaze and the Monster Machines.

And finally on Thursday, May 16th, this date will see the release of the new original Blue's Clues franchise podcast series Blue's Clues & You! Let's Guesss Who with Josh & Blue (Season 1, 10 episodes) which follows Josh and Blue as they make up another one of their cheesy game show bootlegs to help children develop deductive reasoning skills to guess the identity of the show's famous characters.

It's currently unknown if these podcasts will be audio-only or have animated videos as well, despite the fact of animated footage appearing in the sizzle reel trailer released earlier this week.

The new additions join other favorite Nickelodeon preschool podcast series including Blue's CLues & You! Storytime with Josh and Blue and Noggin animated podcast series Alphabeats starring SiriusXM Kids Place Live radio station icon and GRAMMY¢-nominated children's music duo THe Pop Ups.
