The third and final series of the hit RTÉ KIDS podcast Nero's Class is here - we are off to Mrunglody one last time.
Join Nero, Rowan, Jacaranda and Scoochie as they journey across the mythical island in this audio adventure. Nero's Class is a uniquely Irish audio adventure blending folklore, comedy and an imaginative world unlike anything else in kids' podcasting.
This season is a labyrinthine ten-part mystery that neatly wraps up Professor Nero's personal odyssey (they are so popular right now!) and the wider saga of Mrunglody.
Nero's Class is the first RTÉ KIDS Podcast launching fully on the fancy new RTÉ Listen App, and you can catch it on RTÉ Radio 1 in November too!

The show follows Professor Nero (voiced by Hugh Cooney), a well-meaning but out-of-his-depth teacher from The Mainland, whose world is turned upside down when he accepts a job on the mythical island of Mrunglody and finds himself responsible for the education of three whip-smart local students
Our classmates include the wise-beyond-his-years Rowan (Rian Sheridan), leader Jacaranda (Elsie Akinduko), and the imaginative Scoochie Kaboochie (Penny O'Dwyer).
This time out we find our three young heroes trying to undo the chaos that has been wreaked since Nero's arrival, investigate the mystery of their island’s origin story, and race against time to restore the sacred peculiarity of their home and community.

There is also an original soundtrack created by Aherne, with artwork designed by award-winning illustrator Ruan van Vliet.
