In October 2013 I started a weekly podcast and asked my friends Rob Yulfo and Pat Ryan to be co-hosts. It's an animation podcast, usually about 1.5hrs made up of discussions around stories from that week, but sometimes we tell stories, give tips and advice, do interviews and give reviews, and interact with the listeners.
I'm a professional freelance animator. Rob's a hobbyist animator who freelances on the side. Pat is not in animation, so he gives his perspective outisde "the bubble" we can all get too wrapped up in. When Rob and I would hang out in NYC with other animators, it wasn't exactly polite... but it was always entertaining! We joke, make fun, swear, argue, tell stories... that's what I wanted the podcast to be. And that's what it is.
Episode 75 is the first one to go up on the Audio Portal thanks to the heads-up from a few of you fans out there (and I really appreciate it... reminds me how great Newgrounds has been to me) and they will continue to go up weekly.

We hope you enjoy it, interact, and support in any way you want. I'm very active on my FACEBOOK page where I ask for stories to the Rapid Fire segment (usually on fridays). You can also find us on twitter.

Even though it messes up the chronological order on NG it might be cool to release the two you made animations for, so you can cross-link the animations to the episode audio. I love it when NG can have that sort of SYNERGY.

That hurts me right in my OCD. But not a bad idea, I'll put it together... even though synergy sounds like a Terminator plot. Thanks!
