Life On The Road: Captain Feathersword And Anthony Unfiltered

On this episode of ‘Wiggle Talk - A Podcast for Parents’, we’re joined by special guest Paul Paddick (AKA Captain Feathersword) as the guys share some hilarious and unexpected tales from touring over the years. Anthony recently released his book ‘Out of the Blue’ - but he never planned to write a memoir - it was originally intended to be a book of stories from life on the road. But the stories were too good not to share, and ‘Paddy’ was there for so many of them. From costume mishaps to outrageous pranks, Anto, Paddy, Simon and Lachy pull back the curtain on the chaos, camaraderie and comedy of life on tour. It’s a candid, unfiltered glimpse at the moments that kept them laughing - and kept the show going. Subscribe to ‘Wiggle Talk - A Podcast for Parents’ wherever you get your podcast, and you’ll never miss an episode.   HOSTSSimon Pryce Lachlan GillespieAnthony Field  GUESTPaul Paddick a.k.a.
