Animation is the best. Come hang out.

Monthly podcast about independent and experimental animation. Conversations with animators and artists about how their work gets made, what shapes it, and what holds up over time. Some history, some process, some things that barely count as animation but still feel like it.

The Screening Room for those that can't stop doomscrolling.
