We ask him—and he tells us.Join hosts Grim Shea, Marke, Jimmy “The Gent,” and Johnny Heck as they launch a brand-new chapter of Saturday Morning Cereal—now on Spreaker and wherever you get your pods.Plus, check out Michael Hirsh’s new memoir, Animation Nation: How We Built a Cartoon Empire—a fun, insightful look at how passion, creativity, and a little cereal-fueled magic can build something unforgettable.
