Welcome to Jake's Happy Nostalgia Show, the podcast where nostalgia comes alive!

On this episode, we have a conversation with Michael Hirsh, the creative force behind so many cherished childhood memories. Michael co-founded Nelvana, the studio that brought us classics like Little Bear, Franklin, Babar, Max & Ruby, The Magic School Bus, Rolie Polie Olie, and many others. If that wasn't enough, he then launched Cookie Jar Entertainment, where he co-created The Doodlebops and executive produced hits like Arthur, Caillou, and Johnny Test. Michael discusses the evolution of children's television, discussing the making of these iconic shows, the challenges of adapting beloved books into animated series, and the lasting impact these programs have had on generations of kids! We also cover Michael's new memoir, Animation Nation: How We Built a Cartoon Empire.
