Joey Wiggle Experience (Ep#34) — Dr. Patricia Edgar (Founding Director of ACTF / Executive Producer)

In this special episode of the podcast, I’m joined by guest co-host "Joseph Marshall" (Founder of Silbert Records), to chat with one of the most important figures in Australian children’s programming... "Dr. Patricia Edgar"During her long career, she helped create the Australian Children's Television Foundation (ACTF), which has produced some of the country’s most beloved programs — Round the Twist, Lift-Off, Li'l Elvis, The Genie from Down Under, Touch the Sun, and many more.We talk about the Foundation’s beginnings, her views on the ACTF’s work today over 40 years later, the rivalries that tried to erase her work and legacy, and we reflect on what her greatest achievements have been in both the Australian and global TV landscape.🌐 Australian Children's Television Foundation websitehttps://actf.com.au/🌐 Patricia & Don Edgar's websitehttps://patriciaedgaranddonedgar.com/🌐 Also check out Silbert Recordshttps://www.silbertrecords.com/📲 Subscribe to Joseph's YouTube channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@JohnsonandNoddy🎶 Check out the latest release from Silbert Records — "The Lift-Off Songbook"https://open.spotify.com/album/7H9Tw1nkzfLZGBuN5Ulon5?si=bHFaM5M0TyyeUzpVBHOPwA📌 Subscribe to the Joey Wiggle channelhttp://www.youtube.com/@JoeyWiggle🔔 Don’t forget to hit the bell so you never miss a new episode!Follow me on social media:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joeywiggleofficial/X (formerly known as Twitter): https://x.com/WiggleJoeyTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@joeywiggle?lang=en🧡 Support my Channel on Patreon 🧡https://www.patreon.com/JoeyWiggle💜 Join my Special Club on Discord 💜https://discord.gg/8zhZTkkdhz
