Simon Ward chats about Producing, Parenting and Puppet Partners

from MukPod Hosted by Mukpuddy

Simon Ward is the *other* Simon at Mukpuddy and one of the studio's primary producers. He shares with us the creative and practical aspects of this often misunderstood but crucial role. We discuss his long career writing and acting on stage and screen, early collaborations with Alan Parr on the 48hours team 'IdiotVision', his partners job as National Secretary of the NZ Council of Trade Unions, and becoming first-time parents during lockdown. On a technical note, there is some audio interference from rain near the end of the episode but stick around for us share about some of our favourite animated series coming from Australia, Bluey and Koala Man.
