Get ready to Wiggle (talk) with new podcast

Iconic child entertainers The Wiggles have launched a podcast discussing the ups and downs of parenting.

iHeartRadio’s Wiggle Talk: A Podcast for Parents is hosted by Red Wiggle Simon Pryce and Purple Wiggle Lachy Gillespie.

In each episode, listeners are invited to join the duo as they share their experiences and learnings as fathers and call upon experts to join the conversation.

“We’ve always aimed to create a safe, supportive space for children, and now we want to extend that to parents,” Pryce said.

“Wiggle Talk is our way of opening up about the real challenges and joys of parenting, sharing what we’ve learned, and supporting families through these early years.”

Gillespie added: “As fathers, we know firsthand how overwhelming parenting can be. We want Wiggle Talk to be a place where parents can find not only practical tips but also a sense of community and reassurance, with plenty of laughs together along the way.”

Blue Wiggle and father of three Anthony Field will lead the weekly Ask Anthony segment, where listeners can submit their parenting questions.

Special guests and experts to also offer professional insights include Maggie Dent, Terri Irwin, Ms Rachel, Hugh van Cuylenburg, Dr Shefali, Gen Muir, Dr Justin Coulson, Jocelyn Manzanarez and Dr Tovah Klein.

ARN’s iHeart head of digital audio Corey Layton said: “While they’ve been dazzling children for years, it’s comforting to know that behind the scenes, The Wiggles have the same curveballs and questions as all parents.

“Hearing The Wiggles explore this with experts and guests is a brilliant addition to the iHeart slate.”
