This is one of the interviews I did on June 21, 2022, when I participated in the Alzheimer's fundraiser "The Longest Day", although we had to do a redo because the audio was unsalvageable.

Chivaun Oldes is a 30-something wife and mother of two. She is a craft enthusiast, dabbling artist and pet lover. A self-identified 'ball of anxiety,' she is a mental health awareness advocate and creates children's stories to help bring understanding of mental health disorders and diagnoses to young minds.

Episode 54: Animator and Artist Jennifer Shiman

This is one of the interviews I did on June 21, 2022, when I participated in the Alzheimer's fundraiser "The Longest Day".

Jennifer Shiman is best known for being behind the hilarious 30-Second Bunnies Theatre, a Flash animated series of shorts that ... well, re-enact movies (and some TV episodes) in 30 seconds, but with bunnies. When COVID hit, she stopped that and started work on a middle school graphic novel called World's End Detective Agency.

We talk about both projects, how the pandemic changed how she does things, and how she approaches her work.
