As far back as designing the cassette J-card for my first demo tape, all the way through to story-editing my latest animated pilot. In this multi-episode conversation, we tell the story of our 33-year friendship — from riding the school bus as teenagers, to dressing up in business suits and selling a fake invention in New York City.  Subscribe on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-carl-king-podcast/id1202709564 Send Me A Tip! https://paypal.me/carlkingdom https://www.venmo.com/u/carlkingdom Subscribe on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/4VlLUSeRUrDzF1Omtu9rdp SHOW NOTES / LINKS Chew On This: Chewbode's Blog https://www.chewbode.com
