I’ve discovered a NEW PODCAST – it’s not for the faint hearted, recommended for 7 years +, however, I would say I’m not sure that my daughter is ready for it yet – she’s quite sensitive. My nephew on the other hand will love it!

It’s called The Disaster Detectives. It’s based on a book and there are six episodes in the first series plus a Halloween special. To find out more check out the website here.

From Icebergs to Earthquakes – Uncover the World’s Greatest Disasters!

Imagine a vast stretch of ocean where ships vanish, planes disappear, and no one knows why. Or towering waves and trembling ground causing devastation in moments. What do all these chilling events have in common? They’ve each led to some of the most catastrophic disasters in history.

When disaster strikes, it’s up to specialists to piece together the puzzle – tracking down what happened, when, and why. They examine clues, collect evidence, and speak to witnesses to build a clearer picture of events.

That’s where young investigators Joseph and Katie step in! As part of The Disaster Detectives, they dive into their Disaster Dossier to reveal the facts behind real-life catastrophes and explore how humans are working to better predict, prevent, and respond to future disasters.

Inspired by the best-selling book Real-life Disasters by Susan Martineau, this engaging series encourages curiosity, critical thinking, and creative problem-solving in a reassuring and age-appropriate way.

Perfect for budding detectives aged 7+, The Disaster Detectives podcast brings true tales of natural and man-made disasters to life in an exciting, educational format. As always, do have a listen first to make sure you feel it is suitable content for your child.

The Disaster Detectives Episodes

Below you will find the episodes included with a description taken from the Disaster Detectives website of what to expect.

Episode 1: Titanic

The Detectives investigate the sinking of Titanic, one of history’s most famous disasters. But was it a man-made disaster, or a natural disaster of disastrously epic proportions? You might think you know the answer, but do you? DO YOU???

Episode 2: Earthquakes

Duck for cover! Earthquakes have been around since the beginning of, well, earth. The ground beneath us is always moving, and humans weren’t always as prepared for disaster as we are now…

Episode 3: Dino Disaster

We know the dinosaurs went the way of the Dodo long ago – or did they? What exactly happened to the dinosaurs, and – gulp! – could it happen to us?!

Episode 4: Bermuda Triangle

Sunshine, breezes, drinks with little umbrellas in them, disappearing without a trace – wait, what?! Beware the Bermuda Triangle! Should you choose to enter, the consequences could be DISASTROUS….

Episode 5: Airship Down!

Whether it’s called an airship, Zeppelin, or blimp, when something goes wrong – it REALLY goes wrong!

Episode 6: Killer Lakes

Once upon a time, there was a peaceful blue lake in the beautiful Cameroonian countryside. Birds chirped, cattle grazed, and people farmed. Then, a strange mist rolled in… Welcome to our weirdest disaster yet.

Special Halloween Episode: Black Death

BRING OUT YER DEAD! In this special Halloween episode, The Disaster Detectives Joseph and Katie investigate the plague. But which plague? Why, the bubonic plague, of course. Because only one plague is called the BLACK DEATH. So, if you like rats, puss-filled sores, and nautical travel, this disaster is for you! Oh, and be sure to check your pet for fleas afterwards…

What Next?

4th November 2025 sees a new title in the series about Mysteries and Disasters. I wonder id this will mean a new series coming to the podcast..
