38. Julie Kane-Ritsch - Talent Manager and Head of Animation at The Gotham Group

This episode is a chat with Julie Kane-Ritsch, Talent Manager and Head of Animation at The Gotham Group. It's a fascinating chat that shows that managers and agents have all kinds of paths into the industry, and Julie's journey is really cool. 
When Hanna Barbera's shorts program produced 12 shorts, with 4 of them being Johnny Bravo, Cow and Chicken, Dexters Lab, and the Powerpuff Girls, Julie was there. 
We chat through how she got started, and touch on various parts of her career, before chatting about the state of the industry now, the cyclical nature of original IP in the marketplace, and how to stand out from the crowd when shopping around yourself and your ideas. 

Enjoy!
