Great that you are back. Your “new” format is good for me. Perfect is the enemy of good. One suggestion: If your jobs allow it, perhaps, from time to time, you can comment a little bit on the latest films in animation, trends, and things of interest to animation students.
Apple Podcasts5Jose-SecaucusUnited States3 months ago - Podcast Perfection, with a Twist
This podcast is invaluable for aspiring animators. There’s a treasure trove of information here, which applies to all levels of the animation-learning journey. In fact, I’ve found that many episodes are worth revisiting down the line. Best of all, the three hosts sound like they’re really enjoying themselves the whole time, making it an absolute joy from start to finish. (Plus, as a former bartender I gotta love the drink names
Apple Podcasts5SugarinyourgastankUnited States2 years ago - A North Star for Animation Industry Hopefuls
This podcast has been one of the biggest resources in my journey to becoming an animator. Going to a school that isn’t known for animation and being in an animation program that is barely a year old really made me feel like I was behind everyone else in the world pursuing a career in animation. Then one day I found this podcast. more
Apple Podcasts5joelg_23United States2 years ago - A gem of a podcast
I’ve listened to a handful of other animation-related podcasts and ‘animation happy hour’ is BY FAR one of the best out there. Katie, Ben, and Garrett have this amazing chemistry and respectfulness towards each other, on top of their wealth of experience and knowledge of animation/the animation industry that they gladly share with listeners. It’s honest, interesting, engaging, and very well-produced. So happy I came by it!!

Every episode feels like a cozy sitdown with plenty of wholehearted smiles, chuckles, and valuable stories that I hope to carry with me on my own journey.

If you’re a go getter who really wants to know what level you need to be at to work with pros this podcast is for you! I love it! I look forward to it every month! Not only is it informative, but it’s entertaining and fun to listen to! My favorite part is when they personalize their advice and give us real life experiences with challenges and accomplishments they’ve had while working in the industry. As any animator says, “luck favors the prepared” and this podcast is an excellent source in pre... more
Apple Podcasts5Dutchicus MaximusUnited States2 years ago - My favorite thing about the first of the month
Ok everybody — take it from someone not even in the industry, these people are fantastic podcasters who explore all corners of the animation world all while making you laugh…aaaand teaching you a thing or two about “punny” cocktail names ;). I hate to admit this because it’s totally embarrassing, but it really feels like these people become your friends who you’ll get so excited to see (err, hear) on the first of each month. Thank you so much for keeping this show going and can’t wait for what’s... more
