Simon McKinney is 'The Postie'

Yes that's him! The smiley twinkling voice behind The Postie on Sounds of the City is actually NZ comedian Simon McKinney. He had a great time with The Postie character and created a fun adult with a huge touch of silliness. You can hear it when he sings on the CD "dum de do do do do doo!! "

Simon won best Male Comedian at the NZ awards a few years back. He has a tonne of talent and is a really great guy to work with. Funfact: he also voiced 'Hamish the Fish' some years back ... Find his bio here

I strive to create simple worlds of harmony with Eardrops, where our young children can feel safe to discover. It is a joy and privilege to do this.

Another murder of another father in America by police who are supposed to protect brings a stark truth back into focus. It’s broken. Wherever we are in the world, we need to work harder. Anyone speaking to children must take extra care to disrupt the racist narratives that surround us. Listen first. I am listening. 
Thank you māmās, for all you do 🙏🏽
Liz 🧡
Where’s te ngeru? Can you see the cat? Sounds of the home/kāinga!🤦🏽‍♀️ Ned has always liked to survey his kingdom 😂 Liz xx
Muppets! Wonderful to gain insight into The Muppet Show, Fraggle Rock, Sesame Street, Dark Crystal, The Labyrinth, etc from these legends on the livestream. Grateful for their work with Jim Henson over the decades, a definite source of inspiration for eardrops. These shows were such a big influence on so many children, and they always taught peace. 
If you’re interested too, look up “Muppet Guys Talking” on YouTube. Liz 😍 #muppetguystalking
Hope everybunny’s all good in lockdown. Eardrop is dreaming up new adventures here at Eardrops central 🎈 Liz xx
