About this episode

This week we've got two huge guests: Returning favorite (and creator of OK K.O.) Ian Jones-Quartey along with new guest (and creator of Steven Universe) Rebecca Sugar! And they're joining us to talk about one of their all-time favorite cartoons, Future Boy Conan! How did Hayao Miyazaki get to direct his first series? How many artists did it influence globally for the last four decades? Why is it so hard to see in the US? We discuss all that plus the second episode "The Journey" all on this week's seafaring podcast!
