I loves me some Refrederator

I've mentioned Frederator's very awesome animation podcast a couple of times, but hold onto your socks, animation lovers, because the company recently launched another animation podcast, this one dedicated entirely to "old timey" cartoons. This week the podcast will focus on cartoons based on comic strips, kicking off with Ub Iwerks interpretation of "Reg'lar Fellas," a comic strip from the twenties and thirties. Later this week you'll also be able to catch animated shorts with Popeye and Little Lulu. Check the archives for some great Warner Bros. shorts, as well as an old Mighty Mouse cartoon. I've already got this podcast queued up in iTunes, so I'm guaranteed never to get any actual work done.

Another great podcast for old cartoons is Vintage Tooncast, which shows many cartoons from the same era, including a lot of the "Superman" shorts from Fleischer Studios, which, by the way, are also coming out on DVD.
