Jhess Knight has made herself into a key player in the Melbourne puppetry scene since her return from The London School of Puppetry in 2014. Five years on from her training, Jhess' passion, drive and honed business skills have seen her become the creative director of the internationally successful 'Trash Puppets' and 'The Puppetsmithery'.

Joining us by correspondence from Portland, Oregon, Jhess talks sock about her current fellowship with Screen Australia, working within the puppetry team to create Guillermo Del Torro's Pinnochio. We hear insights on how she got started with Trash, The Puppet Smithery and her work with Zoos Victoria, sustainability and much, much more.

And join us for our new segment - 'The Geek Out' where we discuss something that we can't get enough of this week.
