In this episode of the Dyslexia Explored Podcast, hosts Darius Namdaran and Jo Lee speak with Alexander Molokwu, founder of Loujo, about using memorable, AI-generated songs to help dyslexic children learn curriculum content and improve retention. Alex shares how he discovered his dyslexia while studying neuroscience at Cardiff University, how educational songs helped him memorize complex material, and how supporting his niece’s struggles inspired Loujo. He explains how schools and parents can create tailored songs in different genres within 30 seconds, paired with quizzes and curriculum-aligned datasets, and discusses reported results including a 30% retention increase over text-based learning. Alex describes trials in primary and secondary schools, broader applications including autism and language learning, his accelerator experiences and grants, and invites listeners to trial Loujo and connect schools to the platform.
