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.
