In this character study, we are joined by the series creators Jim Jinkins and Craig Bartlett to discuss these two best friends.

One of the things we have gotten wrong for too long has been our understanding of and, consequently, treatment of people with disabilities. Although it is not happening broadly enough or quickly enough, efforts to correct our understanding and our behavior are taking place. One of those efforts is The Penguin Project which is a nation-wide organization and effort to involve people with disabilities in musical theater. My guest for this episode is here to discuss her work with the project. Lisa Heath Jinkins (Choreographer for Golden Isles Penguin Project in Brunswick, GA) began her career as a professional modern dancer in New York City in 1985. She had the opportunity to perform with many top choreographers and companies, including The Martha Graham Dance Company, and at some of the larger theatres in Manhattan: New York City Center and The Joyce Theater, to name two. Lisa met and married Jim Jinkins in NY, and they have two children, Rose and Heath. During this time, Lisa had the opportunity to write 5 children's books for The Disney Company, based on the animated series “PB&J Otter” created by Jim Jinkins. That led to co-creating “JoJo's Circus” for The Disney Channel, and writing scripts for “Pinky Dinky Doo”, an animated television series created by Jim. In 2010, the family moved to Brunswick, GA, where they continued to be involved in the arts, performing in various local productions on stage, and working behind the scenes, as well. In 2016 Lisa was asked to be the Choreographer for a new venture: Golden Isles Penguin Project. The Penguin Project® is a musical theater production that casts children and young adults with disabilities in all roles. All sing, dance and act in the show. Those individuals (Artists) will get assistance from on-stage peers (Mentors). And after a one year break in 2023, Lisa has been asked to return to help with Meredith Wilson's “The Music Man, Jr.!" She can't wait!

What jobs can a one armed person do? Mini golf for Mikes birthday. Is it cool for teenagers to just scream now? The group behind us was just screaming the whole time. Whats the draw for taylor swift? Her music is pretty mid, and I just cant understand the draw. Writers strike, cena and the rock return to wwe… Dog shit drama TIL that some of the characters on the TV series Doug are unusual colours like green and purple because creator Jim Jinkins solidified the characters' early designs with friend David Campbell at a small Mexican restaurant, and Jim was in a "margarita stupor".

If it happened to Doug Funnie in a cartoon, there's a good chance that it happened to Doug creator Jim Jinkins in real life. Hector discovers that from a crush on a girl named Patty to the torment of bully named Roger to the superhero fantasies of Quail Man, no cartoon in Nick history is drawn more from the life of its creator than Doug.
After a hard day’s work at Conglom-O Corporation, Rick and Ben converse about the first cartoons to find a home under the Nicktoons banner. From pre-teens to babies to more anthropomorphic animals than any one human can handle, our hosts dive into the animated world of Nickelodeon. Reminisce about the excellent characters, worlds and storytelling that made these shows a hit, and learn some fascinating things along the way.
