Tigeropolis – is a new 10-part weekly radio comedy series for ages 8-10 available in Gaelic.

The series is narrated by Gillebide Mac ‘IlleMhaoil and tells the unbelievable story of a family of vegetarian tigers whose peaceful life, hidden away deep in the forest, is suddenly under threat when the bulldozers are set to close in.

Tiger cubs Bittu and Matti and the rest of their tiger family get up to all sorts of adventures as they battle developers, outsmart poachers and take on a quest to find missing treasure.

Tigeropolis is based on a book series of the same name written by Glasgow born author R.D. Dikstra. Richard’s long-term involvement in conservation has taken him to all seven continents but nothing can match his first ever experience seeing a tiger prowling through the Indian jungle as dusk began to fall.

The series is fun, but the stories contain a strong underlying conservation message and have been welcomed as a great way of helping children learn more about the world.
