What does it take to prepare the next generation of animation talent?

WIA NYC co-lead and former chairperson of the Department of Arts at William Paterson University Ashley Gerst joins the show! Ashley shares her journey through the animation industry as an educator, artist, and lifelong fan of the medium.

Together, the crew explores the mission of (reimagining the organization) Women in Animation (WIA: Gender Equity, Frame by Frame), how animation students have evolved over the past decade, the challenges and opportunities facing emerging artists, and the creative process behind her animated short SUNDAYS.

From navigating film festivals to fostering inclusive creative communities, this episode offers valuable advice, behind-the-scenes stories, and a thoughtful look at where the animation industry is headed next.

It’s the ADHD Pod’s Bat-isode!!

In our season finale, (before a hiatus of some length) the fellas dive into the Batman universe talking all the media surrounding the Bats including comics, film, animation, and videos game. If you enjoy Batman, you’ll enjoy this episode and maybe even learn a fact about arguably the most recognizable and culturally dominant superhero in the world.

Comment in on what we missed, as Steve and I legitimately believe we could spend a whole season discussing the entirety of the Batman Universe.
