It’s been a big year, so we thought we’d end our first season with a festive film review, and what better film is there than Wiggly Wiggly Christmas, released on VHS by The Wiggles in 1997. Join Maddie and Jess for a very, very silly episode.

An Australian history and pop culture podcast hosted by Jessica Adie and Maddie Nixon.

Laugh, learn and dismantle the often baffling, truly fascinating, land down under.
