Shownotes

In this episode of the Kids Media Club Podcast, Jo, Emily, and Andy are joined by Michael Hirsh, the co-founder of Nelvana Animation Studio and Cookie Jar entertainment. Michael, who is credited with building the Canadian Animation industry from the ground up, shares his experience and insights gained over more than five decades in entertainment. He has kept pace with changes to the industry, working with dedicated children's channels like Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon and Disney channel, while also embracing the possibility of streaming and online platforms like Netflix and Youtube. Very few people working in the Kids Media industry today have that combination of experience and curiosity.
