“The genius of the show is that every part, the interviews with special guests, the introductions of cartoons, the strange interruptions from live-action characters—all of it—is inquiry-based. Rainbow Beard and crew never tell audience members how to feel.”

Why do we fight? Do we have to? And how do we mend what is broken after the fight is over? If you've ever wanted to have an honest conversation with your families about the impulse we all have to fight, then this is 'The Rainbow Beard Show' for you.
Join Ricky Rainbow Beard and their puppet friends along with special guests like: Mr. Compost Man! David Morales! Ben Levin! Zoë the Mender! You! Together, we'll explore this scary topic with humor, sincerity, and a call to action during these difficult times.
