Have you ever thought of leaving your home for the hustle and bustle of the big city in search of the truth? Then you are just like a certain alligator boy I stumbled upon on Netflix. Yes, I’m talking about Arlo, the Alligator Boy. If you’ve watched this musical masterpiece, you know why I needed to book this week’s guest.
This week’s guest is none other than Arlo’s creator, Ryan Crego. Ryan is an amazing artist and an incredible songwriter, as he proves so with Arlo. He started his journey through the world of animation by working on, probably, a more familiar name, Shrek. With Arlo being in the making for over 11 years, you know Ryan’s got a lot to tell.
