Hello Hello Hello!

In this episode of the podcast Bre and Way sit in the virtual room with Tara Nicole Whitaker!

We also chat about dogs, stories that inspired us as kids, and what super powers we would have if we could have any....(We become a Danny Phantom conspiracy podcast for a few seconds *ghost sounds*)

HEY ANIMATION FAMILY

Black N Animated has been doing a bit of juggling behind the scenes and because we are having trouble finding the time to sit and record a new BW episode, we thought we'd revisit one of our topics from Season 1 talking about the Censored Eleven! Check out the info below.
----more----

Hello world!

We're excited to present to you the fourth episode of the Black N Animated podcast! In this BW episode (WB? BW? still figuring that out) Bre and Way discuss the Censored Eleven. These are animated shorts origanilly produced and released by Waner Bros.and withheld from syndication by United Artist in 1968, for it's racially insensitive content. We watch five of the shorts and discuss what makes them offensive, Is there any salvaging them to make them better? and why acknowledging these shorts is important.

It's a family thing.. a family...Black N Animated~
Hey there animation family, we're back again this week with another BW, WB..( It's been three seasons... it don't matter) episode. This time Bre and Way take a look at another Bruce W Smith classic. One that a lot of young black folks grew up watching in the early 2000s on Disney Channel. The Proud Family!
Here a little discussion about 3 episodes "Behind Family Lines", "I had a Dream", and "Culture Shock." Each episode diving into something relevant to all our lives. The different types of family dynamics within black culture, Islamophobia following the attacks on 9/11 and how we can convey the message of unity to young children, and teaching kids about racism and black struggles.
