Stay 'Tooned!

This show is a diamond in the rough. Every interview is a fascinating peek at the animation industry & a priceless record of the thoughts, reminiscences, and opinions of both active contributors and retired masters. You won’t hear interviews like these on studio-approved DVD extras; there’s a candidness and variety of opinion that drops a figurative piano on the standard Hollywood narrative. In Phil’s conversations with his guests, you get the feeling that you yourself are shooting the breeze with the creators of your favorite animated shows. Phil is a gracious & energetic host who asks the right questions, and the show’s interstitials and musical interludes will be a treat to any animation buff. It’s no exaggeration to say that this show is a vital contribution to animation history. Somebody call Jerry Beck & Leonard Maltin.

I had no idea the world of cartoons was as big and complex before I stumbled on to this podcast. Stay ‘Tooned is a perfect blend of comedic relief and relevant interviews with some of the unsung heroes of the cartoon world. I found out there’s a lot more than just voice-over work that goes in to the process for the actors and producers. Very interesting mix of in-depth interviews and reviews without taking itself too seriously. Honestly, it’s a must-add to your podcast rotation.

Phil great job man!!!

It’s really awesome to hear interviews with people who play such big roles in making animation what it is today. Phil has the kind of personality that makes the celebrities feel at home and open up about all kinds of behind the scenes stories, which, as an audience member, holds my attention and makes me feel privy to insider information. I highly recommend this podcast.
