From creepy crawly to cuddly creatures? This week we learn from Dakota of Inspire Exotics that the bad reputation of our spider and reptile friends might be unwarranted. In this one Dakota walks us through her love of the less loved creature both for their species and also those in the species that she rescues from bad situations. She tells us some really amazing facts of spiders, snakes, and lizards and we get to learn about Pluto the outgoing Bearded Dragon she takes to schools to teaching about the misunderstood. This was a fun with a science communicator and master certified herpetologist …

What does it take to design a toy? Well probably not much, but designing a good one that parents scream, claw, and fight for during the holiday's takes some creativity and a bit of good luck. This week I speak with Matt Nuccio who through his lifelong involvement in the toy industry and his company Design Edge has helped design some of the biggest toys of our time (see: Tickle Me Elmo). We talk the world of toys, his current place in it all, and how he can help aspiring designer create the next big thing. This is a fun one whether you still have kids you are buying the latest and greatest toys…

I have spoken with swimmers before, but none quite like Leonie Beck. This German swimmer takes us into the oceans and lakes of a sport called open water swimming where the lanes are undefined and the fight to get around each buoy is a fight between the 40 competitors in the water. She tells us why she went into this particular type of swimming, her experiences in the last two Olympic Games, competing for Germany, and why she is now training with the Italian National Team. This is a fun one with someone who has only gotten BIGGER since our conversation was recorded._____________________________…

This week we jump on stage with Broadway star Morgan Higgins as she takes us through her illustrious yet still burgeoning career. We talk the early days of not wanting to go to auditions, to starring in a Nickelodeon movie, to a short lived singing competition called Rising Star. She did a lot as a young performer, but was only getting started. More recently she was a back-up singer for John Mellencamp's Farm Aid performance and begun work on his untitled play before the pandemic. She has reached the first peak of her journey currently as she stars in Broadway's "Bad Cinderella" a modern, grit…

This week we travel from renaissance fair's to cruise ships to theater's across the country with contortionist/entertainer Leah Orleans. She tells us about growing in a performing family and her start in contortion at 9 years old. We also talk about her time in circus school and what it is like touring the country performing this back bending, whip lashing, arrow shooting with her feet routine. She might be small, but she is certainly mighty as the Tiny Girl Big Show is one you will not want to miss if it is coming to a town near you!_____________________________________Tiny Girl Big Show webs…
