Episode 21 has dropped at   https://www.youtube.com/@jackolesker247/podcasts. And things are going very smoothly for me, Heathcliff and The Catillac Cats at DIC Entertainment. 

In this episode I make a big decision when it comes to how I’m going to handle being a story editor at DIC.  And I get to meet a whole cadre of new writers for this new series I’m working on.

I’m in the infancy of working on Heathcliff and The Catillac Cats when I come to a pretty startling realization about why this series is different from any other in animation…and why I like it so much.  

I hope you enjoy the latest episode, and, just for fun, go back and view a couple of earlier ones.

Episode 22 has dropped at   https://www.youtube.com/@jackolesker247/podcasts

Buckle your seatbelts because we’re going to cover a lot of ground in this installment as I jam on story editing Heathcliff & The Catillac Cats scripts.  Those two series are going sooooooo smoothly, it’s almost like I’m riding on greased rails.

With everyone for Heathcliff & The Catillac Cats on track, Lori Crawford throws me an unexpected but most pleasant curveball.  And speaking of curveballs, separately, we’ll revisit DIC Entertainment’s softballs team with yours truly on the pitcher’s mound again the vaunted Warner’s softball team.  And you’re not gonna believe who I have to pitch to at home plate!

Episode 23 has dropped early  https://www.youtube.com/@jackolesker247/podcasts <because we’re getting ready for our annual 4^th of July Party.  So Happy 4^th to one and all.

This was the most difficult episode I’ve recorded and, truth be told, it was hard for me to get through it and I came close to losing it a few times because I’m talking about a real body blow I took as a writer and a huge challenge I faced because of it. 

Still, when I started this Vlog I promised I’d tell you about all sides of my writer’s life and that what I’ve done in this installment.  It took a lot out of me to record it and I hope you enjoy it.

And along the way you’ll meet true Animation Royalty.  It’s funny how, sometimes, the Lord sends you exactly what you need at the exact moment you need it….
