I'm going to start sharing scripture verses in the descriptions

Isaiah 40:31 

But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Welcome to Rupees Over Ramen, the show where we discuss Animation, Storytelling, and tons of other nerdy stuff.

We'll be talking with fellow artists and storytellers. Good times are ahead, so grab a nice hot bowl of ramen, some chopsticks, and join in on the discussion every month ✌


James Candland hosts Rupees Over Ramen, a monthly conversation built for anyone who lives in the imaginative worlds of animation and story. This isn't a formal lecture, but more like pulling up a chair in a studio lounge. Each episode, James connects with fellow artists and storytellers, digging into the craft behind the cartoons and the narratives that stick with us long after the screen goes dark. The discussions are rooted in a genuine love for the medium, often veering into the wonderfully nerdy details that true enthusiasts appreciate. You'll hear about the triumphs and challenges of creative work, the influences from games and genre fiction hinted at by the title, and the personal journeys that shape the stories we see on screen. Tune into this podcast for honest, meandering talks that feel like talking shop with friends-the perfect companion while you're sketching, commuting, or yes, even enjoying a bowl of ramen. It’s a dedicated space for the visual storytelling community, celebrating the process as much as the final product.
