This week, Nigel sits down with Fahim Motahar, an Animator on the Cbeebies show Nikhil & Jay, to discuss his journey from studying journalism to finding his passion in animation - a path that led him to one of the most ground-breaking preschool shows in recent times. We hear how his early love for '90s cartoons and supportive parents, who exposed him to various creative activities across cultures, inspired him to pursue animation as a career. This experience prepared him to join a team of over 30 animators in creating the show's initial 52-episode run. This episode is great for anyone wanting to learn more about the animation process and what it's really like working on a new show for a major distributor. We also get to dive into anime influences along the way!Connect with Fahim online:- Website: https://fahimation-art.webflow.io- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fahimation_art

Greg Childs, Director of the Children's Media Foundation (CMF), discusses the significant changes and challenges facing UK children's media. Greg's background includes a long career at the BBC, producing shows like Record Breakers and being involved in launching early online content and digital channels like CBBC and CBeebies. He also co-founded the Children's Media Conference (CMC).The fundamental change in the industry is how children consume media. This shift to on-demand viewing, largely driven by the internet and video games between 1995 and 1998, meant children wanted control over when they watched content. This has led to a "crisis" for the industry.The crisis involves the collapse of the financial model, particularly for commercial public service broadcasters, due to the decimation of the advertising base. Kids' attention is now fragmented across traditional channels, YouTube, TikTok, and gaming platforms like Roblox, especially for those over seven. Traditional channel viewing figures, even for CBBC, are significantly lower than in the past.Putting content on platforms like YouTube isn't a simple fix. Concerns include safety issues (algorithms linking content to disturbing material), low revenue (YouTube doesn't share ad revenue effectively, especially for children's content after an FTC fine), and YouTube's view of itself as a platform for user-generated content, not a publisher or commissioner. This limits its responsibility, and its algorithm isn't set up to promote public service content.A key issue is prominence. While the recent Media Bill requires smart TVs to ensure public service channels are prominent, it doesn't address prominence on online platforms like YouTube. The CMF lobbied for this, arguing the bill was stuck in the 20th century. Achieving public service prominence on YouTube is complex but needs "a lot of thought".The CMF is advocating for collaboration with platforms to get them to consider their societal role. There has been some "small progress," with a minister writing to social video platforms asking how they will make culturally relevant, age-appropriate content more prominent. However, the space is still described as a "wild west".Parents have a crucial role in helping children navigate the digital world, compared to guiding them through traffic. This involves media literacy, which should also have a greater emphasis in schools. Parents should:Talk about what kids watch and why they like it.Watch media together or discuss how it's made and its agendas.Teach kids to distinguish between truth and fake content, increasingly vital with AI.Keep open communication channels about media consumption.Be aware of what their children are watching for significant periods.Despite challenges, the British children's TV industry is "brilliant" and "punches above its weight" globally, particularly in animation. It retains a tremendous skills base. Many practitioners see their work as a vocation, driven by a duty of care and a shared aim to improve children's lives. The belief that "what's good for kids is good for business" is something platforms like YouTube need to learn.Greg also shared memories of producing Record Breakers for 10 years, highlighting the joy and responsibility of making stimulating, emotional programming. He recalled working with presenters Roy Castle and Cheryl Baker and the edited nature of Norris McWhirter's segment. Working at BBC Television Centre was a "fantastic time," feeling like a democratic "factory for making television." Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Dr Ranj's dedication to DEI is reflected throughout his personal journey, influential career, and advocacy work. There are so many things he has tried his hand at and proven he can successfully do! He is an NHS doctor, BAFTA award-winning TV presenter, best-selling author, advocate for inclusion, keynote speaker, radio host, and columnist. Dr. Ranj initially qualified as a doctor in 2007, before kick-starting his media career in 2012 as a CBeebies presenter. Since then, he elevated his public profile by gracing numerous TV shows and documentaries, including Strictly Come Dancing in 2018, and previously, ITV's This Morning. Dr Ranj is the host of his own medical advice show called 'Dr Ranj: ON Call' and has written numerous children's educational books. He is also an advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, and inclusive education and offers expert advice on a range of physical and mental health issues. During the episode, Dr. Ranj reveals more about his cultural background and influences, mindset, motivations, and his proactive approach to life. He emphasises the importance of seizing the moment, taking risks, and embracing challenges, which have all helped define his personal journey. He shares some compelling experiences which illustrate his resilience, and commitment to personal growth, such as learning to swim in just one week for BBC Children in Need. He hopes achievements like this can inspire others to take some initiative, overcome internal challenges, and engage in personal growth.  Dr. Ranj elaborates more about his Indian heritage, which had a decisive influence on his work ethic and determination to succeed. He shares how he experienced a lack of emotional support growing up, and how he uses his experiences to promote inclusive education, diversity, and emotional connection. Dr. Ranj discusses other influences in his life, such as his teachers and school experience that had a transformative effect. He also shares some candid personal experiences, such as his journey of self-discovery, and navigating his sexual identity, that allowed him to journey towards becoming his authentic self. He moves on to discuss how there has been a gradual shift towards fostering diversity and inclusion, both in society and the media, and opens up about his time on Strictly Come Dancing. Dr. Ranj then shares more about his motivations for writing his books aimed at young boys, and how he strives to challenge the confines of masculinity in society.  Links: Dr Ranj can be found on: Instagram Facebook Twitter For more information about Dr. Ranj, visit: https://www.hachette.co.uk/contributor/ranj-singh/  http://www.talent4media.com/talent/dr-ranj-singh/ Purchase your copy of my book: Beyond Discomfort: Why inclusive leadership is so hard (and what you can do about it)

I share our weekend away in the UK to Alton Towers Theme Park where we visited Cbeebies Land and stayed at the Cbeebies Hotel onsite. This was a trip taken when my son was 5 and my daughter had just turned 1. I share everything about our trip including the theme park, the hotel, the waterpark and the crazy golf. I also cover restaurant recommendations.
