WIGGLE TALK - A PODCAST FOR PARENTS
We’re excited to share our first-ever podcast series. But it’s not children we’ll be connecting with here … it’s you!
Wiggle Talk - A Podcast for Parents offers parents unprecedented behind-the-scenes access to the Wiggles family, combining expert parenting advice and a glimpse into the lives of The Wiggles parents, hosted by the warm, familiar voices of Red Wiggle Simon Pryce and Purple Wiggle Lachy Gillespie, alongside Wiggles founding member Anthony Field.
Listeners are invited to join Simon and Lachy as they openly share their personal experiences and learnings as fathers and call upon their expert friends to help guide all parents – and themselves - through this journey.
Each episode of Wiggle Talk will also feature a special guest or expert, offering professional insights alongside The Wiggles' personal parenting experiences. Guests include well-known personalities who each contribute their unique perspectives and expertise to enrich the discussions.
Simon, a proud dad to his toddler son Asher, and Lachy, 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.

Simon said, “We’ve always aimed to create a safe, supportive space for children, and now we want to extend that to parents. 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.”
Lachy 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."
Anthony offers up 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 who is 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. His comforting presence and practical advice make him a truly trusted and reassuring voice for all of us parents who are navigating the challenges of raising young children”, explained Lachy.
As trusted figures in children's education and entertainment, The Wiggles bring decades of experience and a deep understanding of early childhood development. Wiggle Talk leverages this expertise, providing parents with practical advice and engaging conversation on crucial topics for raising toddlers. Episodes cover a wide range of themes, from managing sleep and establishing routines to handling tantrums and understanding the importance of play.
