Three years ago, two London lads opened a kids drama company in Thailand.

In Abstract Chats, Jake and Jason, the founders of Abstract Kids, invite you along on their journey through the organised chaos of growing a company built around imagination.

Week-to-week, you’ll hear Jake, Jason, and guests like some Abstract kids, friends, and the rest of the team, discuss a little bit of everything: a mix of fun behind-the-scenes stories, insider looks at their new endeavors, and wider discussions on topics that are shaping culture, the next generation, and the company. Nothing’s off limits!

They’ll answer questions like: How do we come up with the wild stories behind our original plays? Why did we fly to Nepal to present at a children’s festival? What does the rest of the Abstract crew do every day? How does spirituality shape what we do? And where oh where are we going from here?

So whether you’re part of the Abstract Kids family or just curious how two friends turned a wild idea into a thriving program on the other side of the world, come join us and get a little more Abstract.

🎧 New episodes every Wednesday!
