The World of Adult Bluey Fans With TEDx Speaker Sarina Petersen

Bluey's Brisbane

There's been a ton of Bluey related stuff in the news recently - from the news that Bluey is now the number one show in the US, from Kelly Clarkson giving her entire audience a trip to Brisbane to visit Bluey's world - even the news that American Express named Brisbane as one of their trending travel locations for 2025.

Much of the growth of the show has been driven by adult Bluey fans, many of whom don't even have kids!

How has a (supposedly) show for kids resonated so well with grown ups?

Sarina Petersen will be one of the speakers at the upcoming TEDxQUT event on October 27th.

Sarina is a student of Law and Behavioural Science (Psychology) at QUT and works as part of the in-house legal team of one of Queensland’s largest not-for-profit organisations. She is most interested in social psychology and human behaviour - particularly, the way that these interact and influence one another.

Sarina is a fond viewer of the Brisbane-produced cartoon Bluey and is enthusiastic about analysing its enormous worldwide appeal and cultural impact - particularly its impact on adults.
