Episode description

When you think of Disney's most famous characters, who comes to mind?  Mickey Mouse?  Donald Duck?  What about Elsa from Frozen or Ariel from The Little Mermaid?  Well, for my guest today there's only one character who fills that spot.  And that's Oswald the Lucky Rabbit!  Oswald was one of Disney's earliest characters but was really the brainchild of an underappreciated animator named Ub Iworks.  Tune in to learn why Oswald matters to animation history and how he was traded for NFL sportscaster, Al Michaels.  Yes, really!
