About Talking Planet Studio

Talking Planet is the brainchild of Welsh animator Cadi Catlow. Originally devised as a language first aid kit to help refugee children settle in Belgium, it relaunched in 2022 to support indigenous communities working hard to revitalise their cultural languages.

Prior to Talking Planet Studio, each version was made as a close collaboration between Language Keepers and Talking Planet technicians, recording language and painstakingly building each episode by hand. This process was expensive and time consuming, and it pulled sensitive language work away from the community.

Cadi desperately wanted to provide something more organic and responsive to the needs of each Language Keeper - something which centred them at the very heart of the project from beginning to end, with no need for outside involvement, no time pressures, and no limitation on the number of revisions.

Talking Planet Studio is the result.

We hope you enjoy using it!

Love,

Team Talking Planet
