Drawn: The Story of Animation
This was a limited series that ran in 2018, produced by Holly Frey for Cartoon Network. It’s a great overview of some really fun topics within animation.
Black N Animated
Hosted by Breana Williams and Waymond Singleton, this podcast highlights Black artists, management, technicians, voice actors, etc.–just people across the board in animation, coupled with their experiences navigating a largely white dominated industry. They also talk about shows and films featuring Black leads. So the range of topics and stories and career paths is really wide, making this an fantastic resource for anyone.
Simply Robotix Podcast
Hosted by Monique Henry-Hudson, I love this podcast because it’s about whatever she wants to talk about re: animation. There are your film reviews and discussions, interviews, and general topics about the work she does and events she attends.
Ink & Paint Girls
You Must Remember This
If you haven't watched a lot of old Hollywood, this'll be a little hit or miss. This podcast by Karina Longworth highlights the forgotten history of Hollywood’ first 100 years. While almost entirely live-action focused, there are some great animation-centric episodes.
