Work It Out Wombats!

She is an accomplished screenwriter, producer, voice actor, cosplayer, and professional wrestler who brings serious creativity, humor, and muscle to everything she touches.

That's right, Kai is the creative mind writing on beloved animated favorites like Genevieve's Playhouse, The Creature Cases, and Work It Out Wombats.

When she is not busy bringing amazing stories to life for television, she is producing Rose for Initiative LA, an incredible D&D live play improv show.

Crafting top-tier cosplay or stepping into the wrestling ring as Kai Maintenance to throw opponents around for fun.

Welcome to Splintered Spirits, the podcast hosted by me, Gary, and my nephew, John Santa from Santa Paranormal, where we try and answer the question, what are spirits? On this episode, we talk with someone who spends his life on both sides of the spectrum.

Darnell Lamont Walker is an Emmy-nominated children's television writer and producer who has helped bring shows like Karma's World and Work It Out Wombats! to life.

But Darnell is also a death doula, a person who tends to the dying and their families through that final stretch of life, often doing the work quietly off the books, and simply because he refuses to let people be alone at the end.

Darnell joins us to talk about his book, Never Can Say Goodbye, and what he has seen in those rooms, how he came to treat his work as a calling, and why being present at the last breath has changed the way he understands spirit, love, and the stories we leave behind.
