Annie and Kale talk Brickvention!

LEGO University: The Greatest LEGO Show Never Made 🎓What if becoming a LEGO Master meant actually going to university?In this episode, Annie digs up LEGO University, the gloriously ambitious reality TV concept she created back in 2019. The idea? Amateur builders enrol in the world's most ridiculous LEGO degree, tackling classes in Art, Robotics, Geography, Mathematics, Literature, Psychology, Engineering, Physics and even Languages Other Than Grown Up. There are lessons, assignments, report cards, spectacular challenges, LEGO mortarboards and, naturally, graduation. Annie and Kale revisit the original pitch, decide which subjects they'd pass (and spectacularly fail), and ask a surprisingly interesting question: what if a LEGO competition wasn't about finding the best builder, but watching people learn to become better builders?Welcome to LEGO University. Applications are open. Accreditation is questionable.

Taking a LEGO loving kid to a LEGO store should be pure joy… right? Well, add crowds, bright lights, hundreds of choices, sensory overload and the small matter of eventually having to leave, and things can get complicated.In this episode, Annie and Kale explore Melbourne’s different LEGO shopping experiences from big shiny LEGO stores and LEGOLAND to independent brick shops and everyday retailers and share practical strategies for making them work for neurodivergent kids.We talk sensory overwhelm, hyperfocus, setting expectations, spending limits, headphones, exit plans and why loving LEGO doesn’t necessarily mean loving the LEGO Store.A practical, funny survival guide for LEGO families because sometimes the LEGO is regulating, but the LEGO shop definitely isn’t.

Back in January, Annie and Kale recorded this gem of a poddy.Come along for the development of Australia's newest LEGO Fan Event. Brick Camp! The Annie and Kale exclusive. Plus we have a theme song. Apologies in advance for Annie's singing.

Annie and Kale go on their neurodivergent tangents, talking about how to clean up when kids creativity is all over the house, we learn about personal thunder, and they discuss some new LEGO botanicals too.

Annie and Kale have very different opinions when it comes to video games. With the new release of LEGO Batman, Legacy of the Dark Night, they had a lot to discuss!

When your brain has 47 tabs open and somehow none of them are the one you actually need… welcome to ADHD paralysis.Through humour, honesty, and Annie's LEGO metaphors, they explore why tiny steps matter, how creative play can regulate an overwhelmed nervous system, and why “just do it” has never been helpful advice for ADHD brains.

Annie builds you up with some analysis of Brick Archetypes. and Kale rustles about in his Wednesday box. Which LEGO type are you?

Kale is learning French, Annie has some Italian, and they both speak somewhat fluent LEGO. How does language benefit neurodiversity. Is it a tool that can be used in other ways? Is LEGO a language of its own?

Kale chats about his awesome experience filming The Floor for Channel 9 in Denmark, and recounts how he got to sneak away and experience LEGOLAND!
