Freddie Wong is one of my favorite creators in the world. I got to sit down with him and chat about the old youtube days, how he builds teams, and what's going on with his podcast ‪@dungeonsanddaddies‬.

  • freddie was such a large part of my childhood glad he is doing what he loves sure do miss him on youtube none the less but glad he found what he loves
  • @lego_minifig
    Freddie was the first non lego stopmotion creator whose work I fell in love with during my childhood. He is a creative inspiration
  • @nexusyang4832
    So much of their start can be attributed to their landlord. He was the chilliest and coolest dude (still is today) landlord ever. He was about the arts and supported the artists.

    I just want to thanks Freddie for all his work ,it was great but the sad part is that now he left.I hope we can see him again one day
  • Hey! Great interview! I had no idea Freddie was behind Dungeons and Daddies. Love this peek behind the scenes. Could we have a "making of" where we follow creators through one iteration of whatever it is they're making? I'd love to see a start to published podcast episode, music video, or any other kind of creative project. Would be fun to see!
  • @LaneCarter
    You two are probably my absolute favorite people to listen to on the subject of being an online creator. You're both very talented and very hard working, while also being down-to-earth. Really appreciate your videos, Jack.
  • @JustGrayson
    Freddie Wong was a major part of my Teenager years along with Pomplamoose. Great interview!
  • @ricardoa32
    I love this so much! Would watch anything and everything from Freddie back in the day. And as someone from Brazil that is able to live from his passion thanks to Patreon, this is a perfect duo to hear from! Keep them coming Jack!
  • @AdamUndefined
    What an absolute delight to listen to people, who are passionate about their craft, absolutely geek out! Fantastic!
  • @AllByEar
    Great convo with great people 🙏🔥
  • I encountered Freddie's presence late. But that guy, what a class act of a human being! Dungeons and daddies is a thing that brings me such joy. Now I'm working backwards to see how FE became who he is.
  • its interesting to see how much entrainment has evolved it really isn't in its final form yet great interview hope all continues well for both Freddie and you Jack
  • @pyxylation
    Always love when Freddie shows up on podcasts. Every once and a while I search for him to see if there's a podcast he's on! Thanks for this!
  • I owe a lot to freddiew, he's the one who inspired me to go into motion graphics and animation. i still believe he's underrated and needs more recognition
  • @senorbe
    Step 1 - relentless experimentation, Step 2 - ruthless self-criticism
  • @dariusmines
    Hey Jack! If you see this, thank you for being so THOROUGH w your creative spirit. The fact that PATREON is founded by a musical person is so inspiring for working in multiple mediums. You the king man!
