Summary

Sebastian Peart and Mark Nicholson are co-creators of the satirical cartoon brand Stepmates. Along with composer and sound/engineer Peter Corrigan, these champions of low-brow “bottom of the barrel” humour are creating hilariously animated satire. What I love about the Stepmates boys is that like comedians such as Friendlyjordies, they’re able to cut through the bullshit, reducing an, oftentimes, critically overthought topic to a key statement or point. In a world where being politically moderate is somehow radical, these two gentlemen are able to sound out what we’re all really thinking, with a brilliantly simple animation. Giving a shining light to a world that is slowly eating itself due to poor political discourse. This was an incredibly funny episode where we covered: * Friendlyjordies & breaking down bullshit * No Nut November & productivity * What they wanted to be growing up * The Stepmates business, animation & creative process * Life-changing moments, viral videos * The “Jim’s Mowing” drama * Being politically centrist
