The Conversation Hour with Virginia Trioli 

Here's a list of the talent coming up this week on the Conversation Hour.

Sesame Street turns 50

Whether your favourite Muppet is Bert, Ernie, the Cookie Monster, Elmo or Big Bird, we’ve all grown up in some way with Sesame Street. 50 years on and this educational children's series is still going strong with its core principle of inclusion and diversity.
To celebrate this milestone, Richelle Hunt was joined by Kynan Barker who  has even been officially certified by Kermit the Frog himself, to reminisce.

Listen back to the interview and you could win one of three 50th Anniversary DVD box sets (the perfect stocking filler for the kids, grandkids or yourself!)
