Richard and Chris talk with executive producer Brian Volk-Weiss (The Toys that Made Us) about his new series, A Toy Store Near You, which takes viewers inside some of the cool collector stores around the world. From an innovative production methodology created by Covid, to the challenges of creating streaming content, Volk-Weiss lifts the curtain on this challenging, but rewarding, process.

In The Endcap, Chris and Richard talk about doing business with Amazon, based on a recent survey conducted by Richard and Global Toy News, and conversations within the industry. 

The Playground Podcast is supported by Global Toy Experts, The Toy Guy, and ChizComm.
