Talking Dolls: Recent Episodes

Emma Kate and Joseph

Hey, dolls! It’s Talking Dolls, the groovy new podcast all about fashion dolls! We want to gather up all the doll history we can and present it to you! Though research and interview we aim to help preserve the history of the totally cool doll industry.

Hosted by Emma Kate and Joseph, two friends, artists and doll collectors who realised a lot of information was being lost as old websites vanished from the internet, and decided they wanted to do something about it.

Listen to hear the stories behind the dolls you love and have some fun along the way!
