    Emma Memma & Olly on life after the Wiggles, our love story and the ultimate start-up

    18/05/2026 | 28 mins.
    It’s out 300th episode! So proud to be celebrating this with children’s music icon Emma Watkins (also known as Emma Memma) and husband and music guru Oliver Brian.

    In this episode we chat about life in the wiggles, what kick started their relationship and what they’ve learnt from performing to kids. We delve into what it was like leaving the Wiggles and going out on her own, their radically honest relationship, navigating stage 4 endometriosis and what is next for the duo.

    A big thank you to our episode sponsor iL Tutto.

    Solo ep - How I survived engorged breasts

    06/05/2026 | 14 mins.
    This is an episode about my breast feeding journey. It involved balloon like breasts, ice packs, physical pain, my baby not latching, electric pumps, tears and a many nurse. Until things turned around thanks to a manual pump from Haakaa.
