This is my all time favorite podcast. It’s hits a sweet spot of informative and funny and insightful. If you’re a fan of cartoons old and new please listen. I just hope she’ll return to make another season as this was so fantastic but over too soon

My little 13 year old nerd brain can’t get enough! It is so interesting and good t listen to. It is my dream to grow up to be a professional 2d animator and hopefully be a CN animator! I already have a YouTube channel and I’m making a parody series of The Amazing World of Gumball. Great pod. Make more!!!

Please more 😊 just finished listening for the 2nd time and I really want more!!!! WE ALL WANT MORE!!

I love cartoons and the bonus episode was posted on my birthday. I’d love to work for Disney or Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon. Butch Hartman is one of my favorite animators.

Such a cool, informative look at the animation industry. I love the interviews from different perspectives of the process. I wish they would release a second season!!

It was going GREAT till i got to the woman episode. So unnecessary. Im all for woman having equal rights, but going out of the way to make an entire episode about it, all that does it UNequalize the females cause it makes them seem LESS equal. If the goal was to spotlight female talent, she should have just incorporated more female interviews in the whole show to spotlight them. She chose to interview mainly men, but then makes an episode about how woman arent getting enough spotlight? The thing is, again, im not against equality, just spotlighting it like that is a cheap way to do it. Kinda brought my mood down on the whole series which was PHENOMENAL

Hard to take this podcast seriously when Bosko is discussed at length without ever mentioning that he’s a horrific racial stereotype retconned into a dog.

Love this podcast and I can’t wait for more episodes! Holly is so good at what she does and has a lot of really great mini interviews!

You put effort and time into this podcast and I thought it was pretty good! I think this is a good “listen to in bed” podcast, and if you havent, give it a listen!

Love how you put in effort to edit and present your podcast with such professionalism. Thank you

I loved this podcast!!! Impatiently waiting for more episodes!!

Please continue with more seasons!!!! This was so satisfying and enjoyable. Full of substance and interesting facts!

Please do more seasons. So much to explore. Excavate unique series. Compare originals with reboots. Liquid television. Adult Swim. Pixar. Disney XD. You can explore it all. Do an entire season on Jodie Landon or Susie Charmichael. More more more.

More please.

So good

This is by far the most fun I've ever had listening to a podcast. Holly shares such excitement and insight into the history of animation. I really need a second season.

This is such an enjoyable series! I’d love for it to continue! Thank you!

I just listened to your End Game episode! I’ve listened to almost every single episode! I love Dr Who, Marvel, Disney, Star Wars, and of corse, the love of my little fandom heart, Harry Potter!!! You guys are amazing and you must keep making episodes! I would absolutely love to have an Alice in Wonderland Sorting episode! Love from a proud Hufflepuff SRJ 💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛

This podcast describes the landscape of the animation industry today contextualized in animation history. Cartoon lovers of all ages will love this podcast, as it references cartoons of the silent era all the way up to shows currently airing.

I was happily surprised how much I enjoyed this show.

Love it

Great podcast ! But it'd be amazing if you'd write the names of your guests in the episode's description.

Wondering when you are going to put more of these out I love this

This podcast somehow got me to like animation even more.

Cool but doesn’t cover minorities In cartoons. Guess it’s only white men and women.

Why is amethyst?? Blue???. On the cover?.?

I love this podcast! I'm so glad Holly was the host! I'm really hoping there are more episodes made.

Hearing the voices of these creators is amazing. The history or animation and how it progressed is amazing! I’m so excited for the next season.

Filled with history, behind the scenes looks, and amazing interviews, this podcast is the perfect blend of fangirling and focused journalism. I hope there will be more to come.

I am a huge fan of this podcast. I am have gotten a lot out of my time listening. I am looking forward to more episodes.

Very good content and all the sound bites were very nostalgic. 😊

One of my favorites so far

Even though I'm not a huge cartoon fan, I really enjoyed this podcast series. It was well researched and had so many wonderful guest interviews.

If you loved animation at some point in your life, you'll love this podcast that explores the art of animation and cartoons from the past to today all from the perspective of animation historians, professionals and fans alike. Please Please Please make another season! This was by far my favorite podcast and I'm so sad now that I've finished it the series.

I just heard my last podcast of Drawn, how can it be so, I did not even think in terms of it being a limited podcast, I guess it can not go on forever, but I still want it too, next!

I’m really hoping Holly gets to do another season of this podcast. Her commentary supplementing the interviews she gives is just delightful. I would love to learn more about other styles of animation (like the Anime that was briefly mentioned) and they way each gender is depicted in animation. I would highly recommend Drawn to any fan of animation.

Loved every minute of this podcast- I was sadden to hear it’s wrapped up in essentially 12 episodes! You all left me wanting more! Great job, enjoyed it so much!

If you enjoy animation ... you'll really fall for this podcast! From cartoon history, creator/talent interviews, as well as sharing insider knowledge of the art & business of animation - this podcast has it all. And it's just plain fun to listen to :)

Why are episodes unavailable? I love this pod but sheesh episodes unavailable pops up more on this program than any others I download.

The only complaint I can think of... not more of it. A must listen for any fans of animation.

This is a fantastic podcast that provides great perspective on the history of animation and the industry in general. I’ve loved the entire series and hope there is more on the way.

This is the most engaging and informative podcast about animation. I am not a fan of podcasts that spend an hour babbling about nothing and then spending way too long on films and subjects they don’t really understand. This is not that! This is a well written and well prepared show that had me at the intro jingle. I’m a Stopmotion animator and I really appreciate the length to which she has gone to give her audience the real picture of our industry!

I’ve been listening to HSW podcasts for years, including the other show Holly is a part of with which I am familiar, Stuff You Missed In History Class, and they are amongst my favorites - even after almost a decade of listening to them! I have listened to the first 4 episodes of Drawn at this point, and I am most definitely hooked! It is a charming, entertaining, delightful, interesting, in-depth look at the world of animation. I love cartoons but never really knew that much about them, and this show is still accessible for me, which helps. I haven’t felt like any of it has been over my head. Holly is a delight, is engaging to listen to, and I love that her love of animation shines through in this work so brightly! As a side note, it is chock-full of tidbits of sound from a variety of cartoons, which definitely adds to the listening experience. I highly recommend this show for anyone!

This podcast is awesome!I used to think that podcasts were boooring😩😩but now I listen to this every day!it is totally a 5🥇🥇star podcast!😇I love animation I once made my first cartoon it wasn’t very good but now I’m actually understanding animation!

From eminent podcast Holly Frey comes a limited series about the history, development, and production of animation as a story telling medium. Each episode takes a deep dive into a different aspect, from the sound and voices, to the drawing and history. I love the special guests, either artists or voice actors, and all the anecdotes and expertise they bring to the show. The only negative is I know this show will be ending.

I look forward every week to hearing Holly and her new podcast. Very well done. She has me spending a lot of time watching The Boomerang Network.

This Podcast Is So Incredibly Wonderful. I Am A Long Time Fan Of Animation From Ricochet Rabbit And Thundar The Barbarian To Teen Titans And Rick And Morty. I Absolutely Love Every Podcast So Far. I Was Wondering If Maybe You Could Touch On Video Game Animation As Well. I’m A Big Gamer Too. 🙂 I Really Appreciate All Of The Hard Work That Your Doing For This Podcast And From The Bottom Of My Heart I Thank You. I Too Have Always Had A Passion For Animation And This Podcast Is A Blessing.

Holly Frey is a great host, and her nerdy joy and expertise for the subject really comes through. This is such a great podcast for deconstructing enthusiasm and nostalgia for animation while also being really fun, and I’m so glad it exists. Plus, it’s really well put together: solid pacing, great sound quality, and fabulous guests (would loooove to hear from Kevin Conroy, Mark Hamill, Andrea Romano, Bruce Timm, or basically any of the DCAU crew in a future ep). I look forward to every episode 🙌

A great start without a doubt. Next I hope to hear a deeper dive into genres, archetype characters, tropes, anime and international cartoons and their impacts.

I like this podcast a lot, and as a Black woman and lover of animation and animation history, I was hoping that there would be some conversation about racist depictions in early cartoons. Hopefully representation will be discussed along with animation’s place in politics. This would be wonderful given the input of Adult Swim execs on the podcast, and the fact that Boondocks is featured on Adultswim. People of color also love cartoons, and deserve more than three words about racism (eg, episode 2 when discussing the types of jokes in early cartoons...also upsetting because a large part of episode 2 was about vaudeville, and anyone who has studied American entertainment knows vaudeville was based in racist depictions of African Americans and Chinese immigrants). Great podcast tho!!
