Maddie + Triggs is back on RTÉjr Radio with seven brand new episodes of magical adventures set in the wonderful world of Higgledy-Piggledy.
We'll follow our musical duo, Maddie + Triggs, as they tiptoe through the house in search of a midnight feast, fly through the sky on their Granny's magic bingo train, and visit McGinty's Farm to hear his world-famous animal orchestra.
You can listen to all 15 episodes of the Maddie + Triggs podcast here now!
These episodes see the return of 7-year old Bonnie O'Meara in the lead role, and also features the acting debut of 11-year old Alannah Moriarty, another bright young talent who the producers cast through the NCBI.
The series finale also features a guest performance from Bonnie's dad, Garry O'Meara, who takes on the musical persona of Higgledy-Piggledy's most talented banjo-pickin' chicken!
The series producers Turnip + Duck are currently developing a TV series of the show and are working closely with the NCBI and other stakeholders representing the vision impaired community.
Series creators Colm Tobin and Aidan O'Donovan see it as a unique challenge to devise a TV show with a vision impaired hero at its heart, and believe that starting the journey on radio in a purely sonic space has been invaluable.
Development of the TV show is supported by RTÉjr and Screen Ireland. Turnip + Duck plans to pitch the show at kids TV markets later this year with a view to getting the TV series into production in 2023.
The Maddie + Triggs podcast was produced by Turnip + Duck for RTÉjr Radio, and was funded by the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland with the television licence fee.
