| The Endless Hallway | Ep 1 | 13 May 2025 | 00:47:34 | |
Close your eyes. Imagine you’re standing in a long, narrow hallway. There are doors on either side of you that continue down the length of the space. It’s quiet, but the air sizzles with suspense. What’s behind each door? Where will each path take you? Welcome to the very first episode of Ghost Frame, where I introduce my personal story of career crisis, motherhood & the framework for each episode to come. I highlight conversations with people who made big & unexpected career moves after already being established in their industry. Will I solve my career crisis yet? Probs not. -------------- Today’s episode was hosted and produced by me, Sarah Beth Morgan.

| Magic in the Mundane | Ep 3 | 10 Jun 2025 | 00:46:22 | |
This story is a fantasy. We’ve got witches and vampires and aliens and hatchlings abound. Even some torture devices, to add to the medieval flavor. And if you haven’t caught on already, I’m talking about parenthood. Today, we dive deep into my biggest transition yet: motherhood. More specifically, shifting into motherhood while also working as a career artist in the animation field. Julia Pott joins the conversation with her own unique perspective. ------- This episode was hosted and produced by me, Sarah Beth Morgan.

| Industry Ghosts | Ep 2 | 27 May 2025 | 00:50:47 | |
If an animator animates, but they don’t post it online, did they even.. animate? In this episode, we explore the connection between my career and being chronically online. What would happen if I just.. stopped? I’ll highlight the work and experiences of “industry ghosts” who are ultra talented but have no online presence.

| The Middle | Ep 5 | 22 Jul 2025 | 01:09:00 | |
It all started with a banana. I’m four years old, sitting at the dining room table, doodling a familiar yellow fruit. A sprawling pile of colorful craft paper, stickers and drawing materials surround me. My weapon of choice? A squeaky, half-dried-out marker. My mission? Unknown… but very, very important. Fast forward a few decades: the markers are fancier (sometimes), the deadlines are real, and suddenly I’m asking myself… wait, is this still what I want to do? Is this still fun? Have I wandered off the path—or is this just what doing art for work feels like? In this final episode of Ghost Frame Season One, I’ll take you back to where it all began: a trail of marker stains, a mountain of half-filled sketchbooks, and a tiny human with big ideas. Because somewhere in that chaos is a clue to navigating this weird, wobbly creative crisis I find myself in now. Featuring guests Molly Hulver + Andy J. Pizza. -------------- Today’s episode was hosted and produced by me, Sarah Beth Morgan. Special thanks to Molly Hulver, Ann Marie Hulver, Amy Hulver, and Andy J. Pizza for joining me on this journey.
