Wow! is that a yes to getting James Baxter on?
what a fast reply! thank you so much. And although I check the site everyday I understand that people may under-appreciate just how long it takes to create these shows, much like the art of animation itself, so I will try to be patient…

…and I do really appreciate what you are doing, Hearing these wonderful artists speak is to gain insightful gems of information that would previously only have been available to the animation assistants or people who worked with them, and certainly not to people who live thousands of miles away as I do….

…so thank you.

….while we’re on the subject of requests, any chance of getting James Baxter? I think he’s one of the most amazing animators and it would be really interesting to hear him speak, especially now that he’s embarked on creating his own studio:

bugs,
I’ll do what I can to get Joe to do it. He’s one of my best friends, so he doesn’t really have a choice - I’ll make him do the show. Character design is absolutely animation related, we’ll just have to find a way to present it over audio.

Hello,

Sorry for going off topic, but I wanted to make a request.

Could you do an interview with Joe Moshier about character design and drawing?

I know it’s not exactly animation, but I still think it would be interesting.

Thanks for the note Justin. What a relief to know someone found it and it worked, no questions asked.

I was introduced to the animation podcast via iTunes — I would not have found it otherwise. Very glad it is on there, and it works like a charm for me.

Keep up the great work Clay!

Well it only took a few hours but the xml feed finally seems to work in iTunes. There’s even the album art and everything. Again, I want to thank David for pointing me in the right direction. Also, if anyone out there is looking for help publishing their own podcast on iTunes, this site was extremely useful for checking the feed:

If anyone else is experiencing anything odd with the feed, please let me know.

Thanks David. I also realized that I left out an iTunes specific tag at the start, so I added that and hopefully now iTunes will pick that up and my page will have all the bells and whistles it should display. What a pain, all this technical stuff.

Yeah that seemed to work. No more error in iTunes.
