  • Thank you wiggle talk ❤️

    I grew up when the wiggles first came out but never really got to watch it as a child but I stumbled upon them as an adult looking for shows to watch with my young kids and have completely fallen in love. I have always loved music and singing and so do my children ❤️ the wiggles and their songs became something our whole family could share and watch together sing together and dance to together.

    But parenting is tough and parents aren’t perfect. My husband and I struggling with navigating our em... more

  • From a 17 year old

    I’m 17 years old. I absolutely adore music and the wiggles. People say it’s childish of me to like the wiggles so much, but I don’t really care. I want to teach elementary school, mainly kindergarten or first grade and this podcast has really helped me open my mind to how little kids think and act. I go see the wiggles later this month in person and I can’t wait. Thank you Simon, Lachy, and Anthony!

  • Love it!

    Wiggles have been such a big part of life for both my boys. I have a 1 year old and 5 year old and get so many lovely tips from this podcast. Loved the recent episodes on toy organisation and AI/science too - please keep up this variety of information so parents of toddlers and slightly older kids can keep listening! Simon and Lachy are both such fun, genuinely positive hosts. Love you Wiggles, thanks again for all you do.

  • Loved it until your latest guests

    Loved every episode of this podcasts and the amazing guests you had on until some of your most recent two guests who gave ridiculous information and tips. Your toilet training “expert” suggesting iPads for a child toileting? Not to mention, this expert suggesting that if kids are day-time trained, they’ll be ready for night time training when evidence shows this is hormonal and cannot really be taught before they’re ready. Then Ash from Two Doting Dads bragging about how often he uses bribery wi... more
