Episode 353: In The Seats With...Michelle Paris and 'Luna, Chip and Inkie: Adventure Rangers Go!'

Just because we're not the target demographic, it doesn't mean we can't appreciate quality.On this very special episode we look at the brand new animated show on the viewer support public broadcaster the 'Knowledge Network''Luna, Chip and Inkie: Adventure Rangers Go' launched on the network and on knowledgekids.ca this past April 4th and takes us to the fictional town of Eagle Creek.The music-filled series will include great songs and lovable characters based on the well-known animated characters, Luna the owl, Chip the beaver, and Inkie the octopus, who have appeared in Knowledge Kids branding, books and video games since 2008. Parents can look forward to seeing age appropriate themes, humour that helps drive home early learning lessons, deep breathing strategies for when things go sideways and fun shareable stories to talk about as a family. Set in the forests, mountains, lakes and ocean near the fictional town of Eagle Creek, the series is inspired by the rugged, natural beauty of the Pacific West Coast. In each episode, the trio of enthusiastic helpers tackle problems in their town, but not before they experience some hilarious flops that require them to look for different ways of unlocking a solution. Our heroes remind young viewers that even though they might feel overwhelmed as they face challenges, looking at the problem in a different way and having the resilience to try again are the keys to unlocking solutions.  We had the unique pleasure of sitting down with Michele Paris who is the Senior Manager ofChildren’s Programming at Knowledge Kids and Executive Producer on the series.We talked about the origins of the characters, the development and structure of the show along with so much more....'Luna, Chip and Inkie: Adventure Rangers Go' is on the Knowledge Network and on knowledgekids.ca
