Fun is Where you Find it!
Fun Is Where You Find It is a curiosity-filled conversation between mother and son, Trudi Boatwright, Playful Experience Designer and global advocate for the science of play and her 7-year-old co-host, Noah, who brings the honesty, imagination and unfiltered wisdom only a child can offer.
Together, they explore how play shows up in everyday life: in creativity, problem-solving, friendships, courage, silliness, big feelings and the small magical moments we often rush past. Through warm, funny, and surprisingly insightful conversations, Trudi blends research-backed ideas with Noah’s kid-logic brilliance to show how play isn’t something we grow out of — it’s something we grow into.
Perfect for parents seeking simple ways to spark more joy at home, and for adults wanting to reconnect with their playful selves, this podcast is a reminder that play isn’t a luxury… it’s a life skill. And sometimes the youngest voices can teach us the most.
Fun, heart, practical wisdom, and two generations discovering that play truly is where you find it.
Fun is Where you Find it!
Can our future with AI and robots be playful? Or even hopeful?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, Trudi and Noah dive into a future surrounded by technology through the eyes of the future – Noah. This is the first time these two have spoken about this topic.
They discuss robots and love, robots and fear and robots and the way it will affect humanity. Will our behaviour change because of our robot future? And could we love robots as much as each other?
In this episode learn about :
- Pepper – a helpful, happy robot
- Poppy – An open-source, build your own robot
- Paro the Seal – designed for comfort and pleasure
- How our young people feel and think about their looming future.
It becomes clear from this conversation that Noah is unaware of the distinction between AI and robots – and because of their interesting conversation – they never get to the topic of Social Media… perhaps next time.
Enjoy this refreshing banter as mother and son unpack our thoughts
