Growing Stepmates TV with Mark Nicholson & Seb Peart
Jul 09, 2019•2 hr 44 min•Transcript available on Metacast Episode description
Mark Nicholson and Seb Peart are the Co-Founders of cartoon studio Stepmates.
These champions of low-brow “bottom of the barrel” humour are creating hilariously animated satire, with a TV series on the way and hopefully a podcast back after a very long “ three week hiatus”.
I absolutely love these blokes, there’s no secret in that. They’re quite easily two of the funniest talents Australia has produced in the cartoon space for a very long time. Cutting through the bullshit, and reducing an – oftentimes – critically overthought topic, to a key statement.
In a world where being politically moderate is somehow radical, these two gentlemen are able to sound out what the silent majority is really thinking, with brilliantly simple animation.
This was an incredibly funny episode as usual, where we covered:
* Status update and their TV deal
* Insurance & medicals
* Developing the show
* The Stepmates team
* The making of South Park
* Avoiding burnout and anxiety
* Centrism & censorship
* Being offended by history
* Hate speech, TikTok & free speech
