April 15, 2015 Episode 76 - Lyndolla Dolla Bills
Where did the name 'RubberOnion' come from? Cat animation sells cars? Lynda.com sold for HOW MUCH?! We have a special 2hr episode of the podcast this week because there were so many relevant stories! A new segment debuts at the end as well where I answer some questions like what's the benefit of an LLC and how to spot a bad college.

April 08, 2015 Episode 75 - Brand New Grounds
There aren't many main stories this week because of the high likelyhood of fakery (April Fools was a few days before this recording). But what we DO have was completely submitted by you listeners so thanks for the help! Disney is making another live-action movie off one of their animation properties, Adam West and Burt Ward are Batman and Robin again, there was a music video directed by Sylvain Chomet, and the main conversation is about the difference between a "job" and a "career," prompted by Will Finn's blog post. And, of course, RAPID FIRE! Also, this week I simul-upload to Newgrounds Audio Portal for the first time so if you're a member there give another shoutout!

April 01, 2015 Episode 74 - Wherefore Art Thou Rovio?
I laughed harder during the recording of this episode than I have in a long time. Not at the stories exactly, but with my friends. We talk about the AMAZING "TIE Fighter" animation by Paul Johnson, the free release of Pixar's RenderMan software, Smurfs being delayed until March 31, 2017, and other stuff including fan favorite segment RAPID FIRE! Also I'm moving again. April Fools. OK I know it's lame but it's April Fools day and I had to say something. Satisfied? Good... enjoy the podcast!

March 25, 2015 Episode 73 - Pixel Dust
The PIXELS trailer was the most popular conversation topic on the RubberOnion facebook page this week, so we lead with that. At the end we discuss the internet as a creative spawning ground and how traditional media fits in AS WELL AS addressing a question to me (Stephen) about being a freelance animator. We also talk about the ATTACK ON TITAN live-action teaser, INCREDIBLES 2 plot, and the announcements of a California Raisins movie as well as Joseph Gordon-Levitt starring in and producing a Fraggle Rock film. Also Rob went to an underwear party in Williamsburg (which, as a sentence, isn't that weird because it ends with "in Williamsburg"). So enjoy the discussion and feel free to join in below in the comments section!

(1:32:53) Question(s) from Timothy Bergeron: "Hey Stephen, How did you go about making that leap to a freelance animator?... Is getting clients just networking? Are their sites you go to and bid on jobs? What's the positives and negatives for being a freelance animator... What do you feel is the best way for freelance animators or artists in general, to get noticed? What ways of social networking would you use to get exposure?"

Though on other sides of an ocean, Stephen and Rob are going to animation events and talking about it to you fine people. There's also a lot of discussion about animation as a whole prompted by the excellent opening title sequence for 'Star vs the Forces of Evil' and a not-as-controversial-as-I-would-have-thought list of the Best Animated Series.
