Unfortunately, we are delaying the 1st episode of the new season of The Cartoonerific Podcast for a few weeks. This due to the fact that the show is under going some significant changes to the format.
The first episode will premiere on Friday November 22nd at 10 PM EST.
We will update you as we get closer to the premiere date.
Much thanks for your patience!

We can hardly believe that this is our 25th episode! We really have enjoyed bringing these shows to you!

Engage in a 'spirited' discussion about Guardian Angels, Ghosts, Divine Intervention, The Power Of Attraction, Manifestation, Near-death Experiences and After-Death Communications along with other extraordinary phenomena, complete with a wealth of show, movie, and book reviews, as well as interviews...

To our loyal fanbase,
People have been asking about what's going on with Cartoonerific News and The Cartoonerific Podcast.
To alleviate any fears, we plan on continuing in the near future but have decided to take a break to re-evaluate the shows.
While we have a small but loyal audience, the show hasn't grown in listenership over the last year, so we've decided to take a step back and take a closer look to see why.
Today, there's a great number of animation and cartoon podcasts out there to choose from and some have exploded in a relatively short time (some in-fact are really very good!).
The Cartoonerific Podcast has been around for two and a half years.
We've been told that we have a great professional sounding show from all the feedback, but even with that it hasn't translated to a growing audience.
And that's a big problem for a lot of reasons, especially from a financial standpoint.
The investment in these shows has been significant; Studio rentals, equipment, utilities, hosting fees, promotion, supply costs plus the expense of time for producing over 100 episodes has left us with zero return on investment.
We haven't asked anything of our audience other than telling your friends about us (or by sharing links). Figuring out how to make our shows profitable has been a tough nut to crack but we're intent on making that happen as we believe we need to change direction on the way we're doing things.

But before we continue on, we need your help.

We'd like to hear your opinions about Cartoonerific News and The Cartoonerific Podcast.
We don't want your criticisms; we only want constructive comments about how to make both shows better.
In short, what would you like to hear on the shows?
Do you want shorter interviews?
Do you want a more diverse show with multiple segments?
What's the ideal length of a show for you?
Do you want more mainstream interviews with more 'famous' guests?

And if you're happy with the shows as-is, please let us know that as well.

Your feedback will be seriously considered as we really want to create the shows that you want to hear.

And once we figure out a new game plan for re-tooling and promoting these shows, we will be back!

Thank you everyone for your loyal support.
All the best-
Brian Mitchell

Here's a Hamms Beer commercial that Cartoonerific Host Brian Mitchell animated on in 1988, mainly of the Duck and The Hamms Bear!

Here's a Hilarious Jay Ward Dudley Do-Right cartoon that was supposedly destroyed years ago, because some-how, it offended some government folks back in Washington. The episode was poking fun at Smokey The Bear with a character called 'Stokey' the Bear, a mischievous bloke who started fires rather than extinguishing them!
