This is where it all began. Square one on a little checkered TV channel.

Join podcast nomad and animation expert Brett (aka BDubs) as he explores the foundational decisions leading to the formation of Cartoon Network in 1992, along with digging up a few poignant quotes and sharing his memories on the event.
