Next, we are talking to the sound designer of the most-streamed title in the United States in 2025, of any kind, across TV and film - It's Bluey! The Australian preschoolers' TV show, starring a family of Blue Heeler dogs. Forty five billion minutes of airtime, in the States alone, last year.
Down in Australia where it's made, and here in New Zealand, it's just as popular. It's critically acclaimed for tackling big topics, having great heart, and has won a suite of awards for Children's TV.
What makes a beloved TV show sound good? Dan Brumm is the show's sound designer and the brother of the show's creator, Joe Brumm - he joins Emile Donovan for a chat.
Bluey first aired in 2018. It has since become Australia’s most successful children’s program, with billions of views worldwide. Photo: Supplied
