Earbuds Podcast Collective: *Animation Sensation*

How EarBuds Podcast Collective works: EarBuds Podcast Collective is a podcast recommendation engine. We send a weekly email with a theme and five podcast episodes on that theme, and each week is curated by a different person. It’s the best way to discover new podcasts! Since 2017, we’ve recommended over 500 podcasts curated by more than 100 people. Join our community and listen up!

PODCAST CURATOR’S NAME: Confidential Cartoon Studios

WHY THIS THEME?: We are looking to connect with podcast creators and enthusiasts to explore collaboration opportunities. We can animate full episodes, clips from episodes for promos, and create dynamic assets for social media. Animation can help keep your audience excited and engaged, as well as open up new revenue streams.

MONDAY: Cynical Cartoons 
Rocko’s Modern Life

Every week, Cynical Cartoons takes a look at a weird piece of animation history, whether that’s a kids cartoon based on an R-rated action movie or an ill-conceived reboot. This episode features a discussion of Rocko’s Modern Life: Static’s Cling, a reboot movie of the classic Nickelodeon series that also features one of the best-received animation representations of a trans character in recent memory. (48 minutes)

TUESDAY: Animation Addicts Podcast
Over the Garden Wall

One of my favorite animated series is an odd dystopic mythological “Into the Woods” series starring Elijah Wood and Christopher Lloyd – Cartoon Network’s “Over The Garden Wall.” Check out this live discussion of the series hosted by Morgan Stradling, Chelsea Robson, and Mason Smith. It’s the Animation Addicts Podcast presented by Rotoscopers. (101 minutes)  

WEDNESDAY: Do Me a Solid
Jared Faber

Hosted by music supervisor Jake Belnick, the Do Me A Solid podcast features interviews with a range of creatives working behind the scenes in entertainment. This episode highlights composer Jared Faber, who scored the music for animated projects including Teen Titans Go! To The Movies, As Told By Ginger, and the Captain Underpants TV series, as well as live-action sitcoms like Splitting Up Together. (49 minutes)

THURSDAY: Animation Station Podcast
Tuca & Bertie w/ Not Johanna Eggs Podcast

The Animation Station podcast features discussions about all things animation. Join hosts Josh and Hanna as they explore one of the most beloved female-created animated series, Tuca & Bertie, with Tracy from the Not Johanna Eggs podcast. (99 minutes)

FRIDAY: Everything’s Coming Up Simpsons
The Call of the Simpsons w/ Mike Hollingsworth

Each week Allie Goertz & Julia Prescott discuss a new episode of the Simpsons with their favorite writers, show creators and more! I chose this episode which features special guest Mike Hollingsworth, who is Supervising Director on Netflix’s BoJack Horseman and Tuva & Bertie. Mike talks about being one of the first animators ever being hired by Netflix, and the trio takes a look at “The Call of the Simpsons” – an episode from season 1. (84 minutes)
