    How To Raise Emotionally Strong Boys

    25/05/2026 | 42 mins.
    Boys aren’t born less emotional - so when do they start learning to hide it? In this episode of Wiggle Talk, Simon and Lachy are joined by clinical psychologist and men’s mental health expert Dr Zac Seidler for a powerful conversation about raising boys who are kind, confident and emotionally connected.
    From the messages boys absorb early, to the online worlds waiting for them later, Zac explains why parents don’t need to panic - but they do need to stay curious, stay connected and help boys build the language, trust and self-worth they’ll need as they grow.

    20/05/2026 | 8 mins.
    Your child has entered the “why” era - and suddenly every moment of the day feels like a tiny interrogation. In this Dear Wiggles episode, Simon and Lachy answer a listener whose four-year-old has questions from the second they wake up, and talk through what to do when you want to encourage curiosity… but also have absolutely no answers left.

    Libby Trickett Says We’re Taking Kids’ Sport Too Seriously

    18/05/2026 | 45 mins.
    Kids’ sport is supposed to be fun. So when did it start feeling so serious?
    This week, Simon and Lachy are joined by Olympic champion and mum Libby Trickett for a conversation about pressure, competition, quitting, sideline parenting and why kids don’t need to specialise early to succeed. Libby shares what she’s learned as both an elite athlete and a parent - and why the best thing we can do is help kids enjoy movement for life, not just chase the win.

    13/05/2026 | 9 mins.

    Eurovision, But Make It Wiggles

    11/05/2026 | 16 mins.
    The Wiggles have gone full Eurovision - complete with bagpipes, opera vocals, a drum line, inflatable worlds, confetti cannons and a song called Sparkle. Simon and Lachy go behind the scenes of WiggleVision, the brand-new Euro-pop inspired YouTube special built from a long-running fan joke about The Wiggles entering Eurovision, and unpack how one very silly idea became one of their biggest, brightest and most joyfully ridiculous productions yet. Because when The Wiggles sparkle, they do not do it quietly.
