À propos de cet audio
Jen Capra, writer for Sesame Street and master of teaching kids the alphabet without losing her sanity, joins me for a conversation that’s anything but child’s play. From crafting stories that make puppets teach empathy to navigating the surreal world of children’s TV in a time when even Big Bird needs a crisis counselor, Jen pulls back the curtain on the magic — and madness — behind the scenes. We talk about the art of making kindness catchy, the subtle (and not-so-subtle) politics hidden in a Muppet’s song, and why writing for kids today means juggling innocence with a heavy dose of reality. A sharp, surprisingly deep dive into creativity, resilience, and why the best lessons come wrapped in a fuzzy, googly-eyed package.
