The Wiggles Launch a Grown-Up Podcast

The Wiggles franchise has announced the launch of its new podcast. But they show aims to connect with parents, not children. 

Now available globally, “Wiggle Talk: A Podcast for Parents” is parents’ ticket to unprecedented, behind-the-scenes access to the Wiggles family as they delve into expert parenting tips and share personal stories, featuring the friendly voices of Red Wiggle, Simon Pryce; Purple Wiggle, Lachy Gillespie and  special appearances by Blue Wiggle, Anthony Field. 

In each 30-minute episode of “Wiggle Talk,” Price and Gillespie share their personal experiences and learnings as fathers and call upon their expert friends to help guide all parents – and themselves – through this journey.  

Pryce, a proud dad to his toddler son, Asher, and Gillespie, father to twin toddler daughters, Lulu and Lottie, and stepfather to Jasper, navigate the ups and downs of parenting young children. Their heartfelt and light-hearted stories offer a warm and relatable glimpse into the realities of family life, making this podcast an essential listen for parents seeking engaging and insightful advice. 

“We’ve always aimed to create a safe, supportive space for children, and now we want to extend that to parents,” says Pryce. “‘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. We know how to educate and entertain children, but a lot of the other aspects of parenting are very new to us. So, we want to bring other parents along for the ride as we learn together.” 

“As fathers, we know firsthand how overwhelming parenting can be,” says Gillespie. “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.” 

Field also offers his expertise with the weekly “Ask Anthony” segment, where listeners can pose their parenting questions to The Wiggles’ founder, early-childhood expert and father of three (including his daughter, Lucia, now a fellow Blue Wiggle, alongside him).  

“Anthony is a cherished figure for generations of children and parents alike, and this podcast is a wonderful opportunity for him to share his wealth of knowledge and wisdom with us all,” adds Gillespie. “His comforting presence and practical advice make him a truly trusted and reassuring voice for all parents who are navigating the challenges of raising young children.” 

Each episode will also feature a special guest or expert, offering professional insights alongside The Wiggles’ personal parenting experiences. Guests in coming episodes include well-known personalities such as Maggie Dent, Terri Irwin, Ms. Rachel, Hugh van Cuylenburg, Dr. Shefali, Gen Muir, Dr. Justin Coulson, Jocelyn Manzanarez and Dr. Tovah Klein, who each contribute their unique perspectives and expertise to enrich the discussions. 

Parents can listen to “Wiggle Talk” anywhere they listen to podcasts, including Apple, Spotify, iHeartRadio, Amazon Music, YouTube Music and others.
