Podcast: Listen to Cartoon Brew's The Weekly

We're pleased to announce that Cartoon Brew's podcast is returning today in a new weekly format.

Tune in every Friday for a concise wrap-up of news, commentary, and interviews that complements - and goes beyond - the site's written form.

In this week's roundup of animation news, we talk about shifting release schedules for theatrical features in the U.S., Fox's renewals of Family Guy and Bob's Burgers, and have a short conversation with José Iñesta, founder of Mexico's Pixelatl Festival and Ideatoon animation development program.

Iñesta talks about both the challenges and unexpected benefits of hosting a virtual edition of Pixelatl and Ideatoon this year. He also offers fascinating insights on how the executives participating in Ideatoon have shifted their perspective in the last couple years on the types of content they want to see from Mexican creators:
