26 分钟Hello and welcome to the conversation, the programme that brings together women from around the world and allows them to share their personal stories and experiences with each other and also us.
I'm Dashiani Navanayagam.
Today I'm speaking to two children's tv presenters to find out what it's like working for newly established channels dedicated to young audiences.
Shudu Motagwa is a presenter for Playroom Live in South Africa, a 24 hours channel which is all about entertainment and education with a local.
And Niamh Nikronin is a presenter on Koolakaha, Ireland's first ever irish language kids tv station, which launched last year.
Shudhu Nev, welcome to the conversation.
Thank you very much.
Thank you so much for having me.
I'm so excited to be here.
Go on.
Let's start with this.
What's the weirdest or most surreal thing that you've had to do on air?
Niamh?
I had to milk pretend cow.
It was a competition between me and a ten year old girl and we had these cardboard cut out of cows, two cows.
And we had latex gloves hanging underneath as the others filled with milk.
And we had to race to milk the cow and fill up the bucket and see who would get their bucket filled fastest.
And of course, one of the gloves exploded and milk went everywhere and it went onto the carpet.
So, like, straight after we cut, the whole crew was in trying to scrub the carpet because no one wants like a sour milk stain or smell in the studio.
But that's one of many, many things.
