This week, Tom meets Ryan Dean, founder of RD Studios and the creative force behind Treehouse, a beautiful new live-action TV series for preschoolers that’s redefining what children’s content can look like.

As a father of teens, Tom reflects on the nostalgia of early kids’ shows – and how Treehouse feels both fresh and familiar (much like the sweeping beauty of David Attenborough’s new film Ocean, which he also reviews at the top of this episode).

Ryan talks about his journey from journalist to studio founder, why controlling your own IP matters more than ever, and how he’s building sustainability into every part of the creative process – without sacrificing magic. From climate-conscious productions to the importance of wonder, this one’s for anyone passionate about the future of storytelling.
