About this episode

Chosen by premium patron ToonJay, we're doing another mid-'00s classic, this time one of the biggest hits on Cartoon Network that pushed digital animation forward on a TV budget. As we explore how Craig McCracken and Lauren Faust built Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, we dig into both of their careers and how Foster's changed them. Then, we dig into the season 4 ep about bus theft, lying, mattresses, and deep Star Wars references. Grab your correct change for the toll road and listen now!
