The Saturday Splash dives into the rivers, ponds and leaf piles of London to celebrate the amazing nature on our doorstep.

With guests from silly scientists to talkative teenagers, the Saturday Splash hopes to inspire families and the local community to care for nature and have fun outdoors.

From stories to challenges, experiments to games; each week delivers an engaging jam-packed show to start the weekend off right and learn something new.

Rosie is a children’s presenter, educational professional and all round-nature-nerd who loves to share her love for animals, plants and the great outdoors with everyone.

Rosie is always looking to hear from local schools, scientists and general nature-enthusiasts to join her in the studio. Get in touch if you’d like to find out more.

The podcast is a recording of the live show which is broadcast on Riverside Radio each Saturday 10-11am.
