Podcasts about abc kids

Also this week on Jake's Happy Nostalgia Show, we're joined by director of program scheduling Kimberly Luce!Kimberly takes us behind the scenes of one of the most important, but often unseen parts of television, sharing what it was like planning programming for Disney Channel and ABC Kids during the early 2000s. Kimberly reflects on her time in Disney's scheduling department from 2001 to 2006, discussing how schedules were built, the strategy behind programming blocks, premieres, and special events, and what went into keeping viewers engaged. She also shares stories from working with ABC Kids before expanding her career to Disney Channel's international networks. Beyond Disney, Kimberly talks about her work in television scheduling for Lifetime, the NFL, and Game Show Network. Along the way, she offers a fascinating look at how programming decisions are made across different networks and how the television industry has evolved throughout her career.Taping date: April 4, 2026Edited by:Chris Bixby (Co-Host)https://www.instagram.com/chris.b2000/Be sure to check out our website, where you can learn more about the podcast and find how to follow the Happy Nostalgia team:https://jakeshappynostalgiashow.weebly.com/Listen to the audio version wherever you find your podcasts:https://linktr.ee/JakesHappyNostalgiaShow

Tonight, Ann is off on a desert adventure – it is very sandy and there are lots of grass trees and glowing ghost gums. Dig, dig, dig. Who is that scratching and sniffing with their strong claws?  

Ann is very excited – it's boardgame night with her friends... but, who is that running along the roof with sharp little claws?

In Curtain Fig National Park, Ann can hear someone screeching and chatting over breakfast. It is someone wearing glasses! 

Away from the human noise of Melbourne, Ann finds some peace in a thick pine forest. But, not for long. Someone is calling out from the trees – announcing that breakfast has been served. 

It's drip, drip, dripping with rain in the rainforest - but then it stop. Ann tries to take off her rainjacket. Ooops, she's stuck. Who is that laughing at her nearby? 

When us humans are getting ready to go to sleep at night – a lot of animals are just waking up.

Ann is going for a late afternoon stroll along an island when she sees that someone has been building a sand castle - but there's no towers, or moat or draw bridge. Ahhh, it's not a sand castle, but a nest. She takes a listen to the eggs inside, where the babies are just starting to hatch.

Ann is hiking through Kalbarri National Park, WA, and there's a family out for brunch - but why is that little one making such a loud, persistent noise?

Ann is off to join a big family, enjoying a get together on the beach. But there's no surfing, beach cricket or picnic rugs here. There is one very hungry baby though - and it's noisily putting in its lunch order.

Today, Ann is looking for buried treasure - but it's not gold or jewels that she's hoping to find. But eggs!

Ann is hoping to spot a baby with long legs and ears - who might tumble out of a pouch. But, what is that noise? It sounds a bit like a sheep, but there are no farms around here.

If you need an egg to make a chicken, then where did the first egg come from? Nij and the kids meet Professor Kate Buchanan to learn about how chickens make eggs... and which came first!

Is that mermaid hair floating in Fortescue Bay, Tasmania? Ah, no, it's the fronds of a giant kelp forests. Ann and her friend Leah Barclay dive under the water to explore. 

Today, Ann has on her stinger suit and is going scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef with Juan Carlos Azofeifa-Solano. 

Ann is on a boat, 50km off the coast of WA – headed to the Bremer Sub-Basin, which is home to apex predators.

Right now, Ann is in an ancient maze - Purnululu National Park. She spies a deep crevice and hears some very strange sounds coming from the dark inside. Are those... ghosts? 

Ann is taking an evening stroll in Darwin when something lands on her shirt. It has horns, very sticky feet and is making a loud hiss. 

Today, Ann is exploring an island way off the NSW coast. Someone is coming in to land – and not very gracefully. It's a bird that has flown a very long way to be here. 

It was the cliffhanger that has left Bluey fans shocked and with a ton of questions. In the episode Ghost Basket, which aired globally on the weekend, it was revealed that the Heelers have put their heritage Queenslander on the market.In classic Bluey style though, the very next day a listing appeared on the Domain website for the Heeler house, describing it as a 'quaint, animated family home'."“Illustrated lovingly at the end of a cul-de-sac, this house sits atop a hill with views of Mount Coot-tha. This 3 bedroom, 4 (ish) bathroom home boasts of work from home spaces, lovely period floorboards and mysterious hallways that don't logically seem to join spaces together but always feel cohesive and purposeful. Perfect for endless play and games with the family.”Ludo Studio said in a statement: “Bluey's home is where our story begins and we're excited to share next week if it's where our story ends. The Heeler's home is another character that we love and care about as much as The Heeler's themselves."To find out if it's a good time to sell in Brisbane, and what kind of price tag the Heeler home would fetch, we spoke to Von Barnes of Pinnacle Properties, based in Brisbane's inner north-west.So all will be revealed this weekend with the feature length, 28 minute episode 'The Sign', which airs at 8am on ABC Kids and ABC iview in Australia, Sunday April 14.'The Sign' also will be available to view globally on Disney+.Bluey's Brisbane is the podcast that explores the real life world of your favourite Heeler family.Hosted by Justin Rouillon and Lou Bromley - follow us on Facebook and Instagram - @blueysbrisbane

Ann is enjoying spotting lots of birds in a special hide on the Tamar Island Wetlands, when she hears a song that is definitely not a bird. Someone is calling out while they bask in the sunshine, decked out in bright green with a gold stripe. 

Ann is taking a break from her walk by a big, wide river when she hears someone singing a very pretty song from the eucalypts above. It's showing off lots of different melodies. 

Down by a creek, Ann is filling up her billy to make a camp dinner when she hears a loud cry. But it's not one someone, but lots of someones, just waking up and having their breakfast.

Ann is getting ready to swim in a pool in Adelaide, when – splat! Someone's poo lands right near her foot, shot from a ledge just above her. 

Right now, Ann is helping on her friend's farm when she steps in some squelchy mud by the dam. There's someone who loves the mud so much, they're singing. 

Ann's crossing a suspension bridge across a creek in the national park, when she hears a cat lost up a tree. She follows the loud noise to discover that it isn't a cat at all.

Carissa Lee is a Noongar actor and writer whose work spans from critical analysis, to theatre, to the new ABC Kids series, Planet Lulin, where she plays Principal Cruz. Carissa's critical work has appeared in publications like Kill Your Darlings, IndigenousX, and Witness Performance, where her writing examined culture and the arts through an Indigenous lens. In her must read piece on Kill Your Darlings, How Acting Saved My Life, she talks about the complexity that comes with navigating class barriers both off and on stage.In the following interview, I asked Carissa about her journey into acting and how her writing has informed her work as an actor. I'm lucky with the array of people I get to interview and talk about their work with, but this chat with Carissa was a particularly enjoyable one given the way we discuss her writing and acting, while ultimately asking the question about what our national cultural identity really is. As we yarn about Carissa's work, the conversation sways into talking about identity and the expectations to become a spokesperson for your community, especially as organisations, the arts community, and society as a whole pushes towards greater 'diversity' in their workplaces.My concept of diversity is vastly different from the singular mindset that much of society has of diversity. I'm a disabled writer, and have been open about how I live with a disability in my workplace, but it's important to note that my disability is non-visible, and as such, I can't speak for the entirety of the disabled community when it comes to talking about what our lives are like. My life is vastly different from those who live with visible disabilities, yet, because I'm part of that community, I'm almost expected to talk on behalf of all disabled people. This is part of the conversation that arises, where we discuss touch on the societal expectations that come with that push towards diversity.Elsewhere, Carissa talks about what having a supportive teacher meant to her growing up, the manner that regional accents are massaged out of actors during training, and the work of Andrew Bovell, in particular his play Holy Day, which played a major role in Carissa's work as an actor. We also talk about the joy of a kids show like Planet Lulin, which is an absolute delight and sees actors like Lisa McCune dressing up in weird and wacky costumes and simply having the best time. It's the kind of show I wish I had growing up.I hope you enjoy this discussion with Carissa as much as I enjoyed running it. Read Carissa's writing here: How Acting Saved My Life and Nostalgia for a Better Future.To find out more about Carissa's work, follow her on Instagram @_carissalee or on Twitter @CarissaLeeG.
