🎙️ The Toon Room Podcast — Where the Animation Industry Talks to Itself
The Toon Room Podcast is your pass into the real world of animation and to the people making it, the challenges shaping it, and the future barreling toward it faster than anyone planned. From artists to showrunners, indie rebels to studio veterans, we sit down with the voices driving animation forward and we ask - Why don't you quit? 🤷♂️ Important - this podcast is less concerned about executive decisions and the ever changing business side of things. We are interested in people.
So it's not promotional fluff or classroom theory. It’s candid conversations about navigating careers in a rapidly-changing industry — from surviving the shift to AI, to landing gigs without losing your soul, to building resilience when the pipelines get tough.
This podcast is recorded within the first and most awesomest community built by animators for animators we call The Toon Room. Anybody is welcome to join us on our podcast as we record it. So come on in.
💥 Our mission is simple:
To make animation less lonely — and a lot more connected.
So pull up a chair in The Toon Room — thetoonroom.com
👉 Let’s vent, laugh, learn, and build the future of animation together.
