I just started to listen to the latest episode on 2.24.26 and I got to the 2 minute and 30 second mark and I SHUT IT OFF!

Jim and Drew know their stuff. I've been listening for years. Drew's industry insight and Jim's investigation into rumors and unannounced projects are second to none. GREAT JOB, dudes! Always such a pleasure to hear you guys report and ramble.
Great animation news outlet with some great stories from the past and information on upcoming projects.

It's always a good informative show, but when an animator going to work the the Daily Wire is just the most awful news you can think of, Drew...you might need to take a mental step back and listen to yourself.
Good show, very informative on the latest in animation.
Unfortunately, when you take a political stand, you alienate part of your audience.
Drew did so with me. So I’m done with it.
