Welcome back to the Cartoon Saloon Speakeasy podcast. We’re going to be putting out a new season of interviews with people here at the studio, talking to people about their stories of how they ended up in Kilkenny, as well as what inspires them and what they’re currently working on. To kick things off we have two incredible talents who have been an integral part of Cartoon Saloon, Jeremy Purcell and Lorraine Lordan. They’ll be sharing their personal history with the studio as well as telling us about their work on the upcoming feature film Puffin Rock and the New Friends.

Tomm Moore is on a mission to talk to everyone we work with in Cartoon Saloon and in our new sister studio Lighthouse and we thought the best way to do that was through podcasts. He wants to get to the bottom of why and how they got into animation and became Artists and why they wound up in our humble little studio here in the South East of Ireland.He takes on two people at once and the stories are very revealing and an interesting listen to any aspiring animators curious to know what path others have taken to get to where they are now. Or for non animators….who just can’t figure out which podcast to listen to right now!
