Max and Uma met on the set of "Planet Lulin," an ABC family friendly TV Series. From the moment they were introduced, their chemistry was undeniable, both on and off the screen. As they navigated their first lead roles and first time on set their bond grew stronger. During breaks, they would hang out, share stories, and get into all sorts of adventures, and occasionally pulling light-hearted pranks on their fellow cast members. It was clear to everyone that Max and Uma had formed an instant and lasting friendship, making their time on "Planet Lulin" an unforgettable experience. They wanted to continue their adventure together, so the idea for the CallBack Kids Podcast was created!
