The Dr Play Podcast

Join me, New Zealand's first PhD in parkour, as I jump into the world of play to revolutionise our approach to city design and child development. The Dr Play Podcast challenges conventional thinking while providing practical ideas for incorporating play into everyday urban life. Whether you're a parent, educator, or urban planner, join me to explore how we can transform our communities into vibrant playgrounds for all ages.

Podcast made possible by Radio Southland and Invercargill City Council.
