My guest for this episode is character specialist, creator of Strawberry Shortcake & the Care Bears, Muriel Juneberry Fahrion in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Muriel’s characters meant so much to me growing up, they really captured my imagination, and I think I speak for so many 80s children when I say they gave me whimsy, escapism and joy as a child.
Let’s dive into this pocket of joy and hear Muriel’s memories of her beloved father, her Irish connection, her creative life and meeting fans, her favourite foods, movies and so much more! Share this with other 80s kids and download the audio from your favourite podcast platform.
Check out the links below to support her work, and all her movie recommendations and that blueberry muffin recipe is at https://www.thewellnessclinic.ie/podcasts/
