Really, superb. I am completely new to animation but I've been listening to this podcast and the animation terminology has stuck with me so well that I'm making connections to other articles that I'm reading about the subject. So informative and fun to listen to. Greatly great stuff. Thank you...Read full review »

I am vey impressed with this podcast for the great guests and the way they are interviewed. I have seen other podcasts waste time and lose focus, but this is very interesting from beginning to end. I'm glad I found this!

A great resource for anyone interested in Animation. Reading books or watching interviews on TV is good, but you can tell how heartfelt and candid Clay's interviews are, he really gets people to open up and talk about their life and work in a way you can't find anywhere else.

For anyone with an interest in animation, especially Disney Animation, this is an excellent podcast to listen to. I wish there were more episodes, but what's here is already quite a treat.

These are amazing and a genius idea. I can't thank you enough! However I'd like to ask that for any new pt 1 and pt 2 interviews be uploaded in reverse order as iTunes seems to be playing them backwards for me. But thanks!!! :D

Clay has managed to put together one of the best podcasts I've ever heard, and that's not limited to the realm of animation, either. His guests and research, his intelligent questions(reflecting his own experience as a feature animator at Disney)all make for a fascinating show that flies by. A...Read full review »

This is like sitting in on an Animation Master Class taught by *TRUE* living legends. These are the guys behind Aladdin, Little Mermaid, Lilo and Stitch, Tarzan, Beauty and the Beast, etc. etc. I mean, he got a sit-down interview with frikkin GLENN KEANE!!! It's truly inspiring to hear the...Read full review »

This insider scoop on Animation is NOT TO BE MISSED! The only drawback is how infrequent the shows are, but I'm sure Clay is a busy man with his own animation deadlines!
loosetoon via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/03/06
You're not going to get this kind of information from any book. If you want to know more about the ins and outs of animation as well as behind the scenes info, Clay has made it very easy to do so.
mackaydesign.net via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/10/06

If you enjoy drawing, animation, or just hearing about animation, this is an excellent podcast to heaer. It's not animation, but about animators and animating -- a sorely needed repository of people talking about their craft and how they came about it. The key to this podcast is hearing working...Read full review »
Ted Stevko via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/26/06
This really is the best podcast out there, No fluff, no filler, just wall to wall information about animation from the leading animators at work today. The level of detail and background information Clay manages to get out of his guests is staggering, He never interups them, just lets them speak...Read full review »

This guy should be paid for these crazy cool podcasts, but they are free!
Double-U (est) via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/03/06
Even the depths of the most special special-edition-Pixar-DVDs can't compare to the abyss of pure-animation-geekiness that is The Animation Podcast! (...but casual animation fans won't feel like they're drowning.) I don't know if it could get any better than this... Love it love it love it.
coatley via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/03/06
This podcast is for anybody who's interested in animation of all kinds! Clay is a great host, and it always brightens up my day when I see that there's another podcast up.

It is so wonderful to hear some of the industry greats discussing their backgrounds in animation. I myself am an animator, but I know several non-animators who love this podcast just as much as I do. So far, in 9 episodes haven't been disappointed once in the content. On the contrary, I've...Read full review »
