Today on Benny asking people questions we chat to Twinkle Time.

This interview took an unexpected turn when slowly but surely we stepped from the music to discuss her life, adventures and sheer determinism. A tear or two was shed also as we unpacked what it means to be true to oneself.

Kelli and the well of love

Todays guest is Kelli Caldwell or other wise known by the smallest in the room, Kelli Welli.

Her take on not only music for children but life itself seems to find itself in a style and messaging that is desperately unique and places her very much on her own pedestal, unmatched by other artists. It is heartening and it is a true testament to what happens when you listen to children rather than suggest what children should listen to.

So sit back, grab a coffee and be swept up in the love.

Nicolla is a person with enormous love for not only her audience but the individuals within her audience in whom she reaches out to. A true master in the art of entertaining and giving to children, it is a chat filled with as much insight as there is passion.

Taking it very serious with The Listies

Todays guests are one of those beautiful stories that involve a certain success that has been derived from commitment, hard work, longevity, consistency, a total lack of any juvenile moral compass and a complete utter respect and adoration for their audience.

They are an act that through their theatre, their albums, their books, their podcast and their television program have really been able to grab hold of what it means to be a child of a certain age, wanting to grow up but not quite ready to give up on being a child. I feel they are a national treasure and I think the entertainment for children created in this country has been shifted on a much richer dialogue due to their input.

They are Matt Kelly and Richard Higgins of The Listies and they take their silliness very serious.
