Simon Pryce, the Red Wiggle, and Lachy Gillespie, the Purple Wiggle, host the podcast about parenting topics. Episode 1 covers tantrums.
Field complimented Pryce's baritone voice, teaching opera-style music to children in a fun way. Field also credited songwriter Gillespie for bringing The Beatles and Elton John influences into their songs.

Pryce and Gillespie will welcome guests outside The Wiggles, including Maggie Dent, Terri Irwin, Ms. Rachel, Hugh van Cuylenburg, Dr Shefali, Gen Muir, Dr Justin Coulson, Jocelyn Manzanarez and Dr. Tovah Klein.
" Wiggle Talk is our way of opening up about the real challenges and joys of parenting," Pryce said in a statement. "We know how to educate and entertain children but a lot of the other aspects of parenting are very new to us."

Pryce has a 3 1/2-year-old son, Asher, and Gillespie has twins Lulu and Lottie about to turn 4. Gillespie also has an 8-year-old stepson, Jasper, turning 9 in a few weeks.
"As fathers, we know firsthand how overwhelming parenting can be," Gillespie said. "We want Wiggle Talk to be a place where parents can find not only practical tips but also a sense of community and reassurance, with plenty of laughs together along the way."
