Nickelodeon Launches 'Story Time with Josh & Blue' Podcast

Nickelodeon has today (Tuesday, August 4) announced the launch of Story Time with Josh & Blue, a brand new podcast based on Nickelodeon's top-rated preschool series, Blue’s Clues & You!


In Story Time with Josh & Blue - the Blue's Clues & You! podcast, listeners are invited skidoo with Josh and Blue into storybooks where sleepy-time adventures await. The original podcast series (10 episodes) is narrated by Blue’s Clues & You! host Josh Dela Cruz.

The synopsis of Story Time with Josh & Blue reads: "You're just in time; Josh is about to read Blue a story! Listeners will skidoo with Blue and Josh into storybooks where silly sleepy-time adventures await. Josh narrates each of the ten episodes, bringing various characters to life and getting closer and closer to the main event: a snuggly, restful snooze for Blue in this official Blue's Clues & You! podcast."

At launch, there are two episodes of Story Time with Josh & Blue for fans to listen to - "The Pirate Panda’s Sleepy Treasure Hunt" and "No Sleep in Sillytown" - as well as a short introduction. Each episode (excluding the introduction) runs for approximately 7-9 minutes. More new episodes will be released in the coming weeks.

Story Time with Josh & Blue is available across Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube and wherever podcasts are found.

Story Time with Josh & Blue joins Nickelodeon's growing podcast playlist, which includes Listen Out Loud with The Loud House, The Casagrandes: Familia Sounds and Nickelodeon Animation Podcast, and the upcoming Are You Afraid of The Dark? podcast.

A remake of the groundbreaking, curriculum-driven interactive series Blue’s Clues, Blue’s Clues & You! has a new generation of preschoolers searching for clues with beloved puppy Blue and new live-action host Josh (Josh Dela Cruz). The series features new CG-animation for Blue and Magenta, brand-new elements and refreshed iconic items from the original series including an updated Handy Dandy Notebook equipped with smartphone technology and the return of fan-favorite characters. Production on season two of Blue's Clues & You! was completed before the lockdown hit. A third season has been commissioned. The all new Blue’s Clues & You! premiered on Nickelodeon in the U.S. in November 2019, and has since rolled out onto Nickelodeon channels globally.

The original Blue’s Clues series launched in September 1996 to critical praise from educators, parents, and preschoolers and ran for six groundbreaking seasons. Created by Traci Paige Johnson, Todd Kessler, and Angela C. Santomero, Blue’s Clues drew acclaim and high ratings for its unique interactivity that helped change the way kids watch television and has remained one of the most popular preschool shows of all time. The landmark series also raised the bar in preschool television by exploring advanced subject matter such as sign language, geography, physics, emotions, and anatomy.
