Sights + Sounds: 'Tiny Chef, Big Impact' at the California Academy of Sciences

A six-and-a-half inch, green, animated creature has captured the hearts of children and adults. He’s known as the Tiny Chef.  He’s also beloved for the way he talks. It’s an unknown language, but it teaches kids to have patience and compassion for those with speech impediments. Nickelodeon recently canceled “The Tiny Chef Show.” But, he’s not gone.... Actually he’s right here in San Francisco at the California Academy of Sciences! He has an exhibit and film in the planetarium about how we can save our planet in small acts. It’s called “Tiny Chef, Big Impact,” Jenee Darden is the host of KALW’s Sights and Sounds show. She spoke with Tiny Chef co-creator Rachel Larsen, and Matt Hutchinson who voices the Tiny Chef. Here’s an excerpt of that interview.
