After voicing the titular main character of Cartoon Network's "Chowder", Nick Jones retired from voice acting and lived out the rest of his teenage years in privacy.  I reached out to him over social media to ask if he'd be open to an interview about his time on the show and his life afterwards, and I'm thrilled he said yes. Listen to this episode to hear our conversation about his history on "Chowder", working with voice acting legends like Tara Strong and John DiMaggio, his love of heavy metal, and his work to better his mental health.
