Nero’s Class is a new RTÉ radio/podcast series Nero’s Class from the musician Bobby Aherne (No Monster Club).
The six-part audio series is set on the mythical island of Mrunglody and features contributions from members who made up the Popical Island collective – Aherne composes all the music on the show, Ruan Van Vliet does the artwork, Bronwyn Murphy-White (Grand Pocket Orchestra, Skelocrats) stars as Mrunglodian popstar Sylvia Barbados and the voice talents of Irish comedians Hugh Cooney, Peter McGann and Alison Spittle are featured too, alongside a talented young cast.
Nero’s Class available on all podcast platforms, and has been the #1 kids podcast in Ireland since the first episode dropped last Monday.
New episodes will be released every Monday for the next month.
