Welcome to the SONGS OF THE POGO PODCAST where we riff on the writings and artwork of animator and cartoonist Walt Kelly, the creator of the Pogo comic strip. Kelly began his animation career in 1936 at Walt Disney Studios, contributing to Pinocchio, Fantasia, and Dumbo. In 1941, at the age of 28, Kelly transferred to work at Dell Comics, where he created Pogo, which eventually became his platform for political and philosophical commentary. Hosts and Pogo-Philes Frank Farrell and Ben Masterton will be joined by the Possum Players Ensemble featuring Danny Crawford, Aisha de Haas, Richard Henzel, Elizabeth Kelly, Jennifer Kim, Zander Kirby, Julia Maish, Ashley Oviedo, Darren Stephens and as Walt Kelly, Norm Boucher.
