It's been a long time. I know. Sorry about that. Life happens.
Anyway, we recorded this back in October of 2021 and then "stuff" happened and we didn't get around to editing or posting it.
So "today" Derek and I talk to Animation Director and creator, Dan Povenmire, of Phineas and Ferb fame. Dan gets to talking about his TikTok channel, YouTube shorts, how he and Swampy and their animation team (WHICH DEREK USED TO BE ON!!!) would come up with the stories, plots, songs, etc. How the pandemic affected work, life, etc. And more etc. etc. as we just kinda talk about random stuff. But that is what Random Fandom is all about anyway, right?

It's been quite a while since we have posted — sorry about that.
This time around we have a very special guest, Mr. Nick Maley, aka "that Yoda guy."
Mr. Maley talks with Derek and I about his love of movies, working on Yoda, Life Force, and many many others as well as his museum in St Maarten. Both Derek and I were influenced into becoming makers by a lot of Mr. Maley's work and it was a real honor and a lot of fun to talk with him here. Check out the links below to follow along and help support his community!

This week we have Bob Clagett from I Like To Make Stuff. Maker, teacher, husband, father, YouTuber, Podcaster, this guy does so much. Its a real pleasure having him on the show as he talks about his R2D2 build, woodworking, and a whole lotta other "stuff."
Everyone be sure to check out his website, YouTube, I Like To Make Stuff; his podcasts, Making It, No Instructions, and Brain Pick as well as his book, Making Time. I'm probably forgetting something.
Bob also recommends Story Brand, by Donald Miller.

This episode was a lot of fun to record; we hope you enjoy it!
