Animorphs 55: The Podcast

We talk about Book 17! That is, the crew fights a tarantula, discover a batcave, and almost get buried alive! Also, we want to bring VHS tapes back, voice acting is awesome, and did Zach imagine the Animorphs toys? Plus, we get a very special guest: Emily, the official "Rachel" voice actor from Scholastic's audiobooks for the series. Check it out! TIME STAMPS: 7:53 - Book Talk 01:13:43 - Closing S...

All we want to say is how happy we are to be a part of this community, how fun this series is, and how excited we are for the future of both Animorphs and A55. Cheers! #animorphs #applegate #scholastic #theinvasion

The return of the snake draft for favorite and most meaningful video games, this time the stellar year of 1997. Turns out videogames were good that year too!

We talk about Book 16! That is, Jake has a really bad time as a fly, we meet a pretty wild new character, and it's rhino time! Also, we are unsure how ghosts determine where they haunt, you used to do so much more at airports, and do the authors actually understand the internet? Plus, we get a very special guest: Kevin, one of the hosts of a 90s-tangential podcast "Goosebuds". Check it out! TIME S...

There is a Disney+ show announcement that we haven't talked about yet, and there's just so much to speculate about! Style? Director? Plots? Omissions? Let's see! #AnimorphsDisney #DisneyPlus #AnimorphsTVShow #AnimorphsNews #MidMorph #Animorphs55 #YeerkWar

We talk about Book 15! That is, Marco has some shark-anger issues, the Yeerks have an underwater plan (complete with glass submarines), and the stakes at the end have never been higher! Also, would kids understand the Muppet Babies, 90s pools were over-chlorinated, and do aliens simply speak with other formatting? Plus, we get a very special guest: Kara, a commissioned artist that specializes in A...

We talk about Book 14! That is, we seem to hit our very first genuinely bad book, top secret experts apparently don't know how to plan or handle top secrets, and Cassie again got stuck with a weak plot! Also, we pair this experience with a much-needed beverage, where does this story fall within the grand general fiction universe, and is it interesting to know about missions that don't acco...

We have a project announcement, and this felt like the time to let the listeners know about it! Look out soon (April 2026) for the release of a brand new Animorphs Audio Drama: "All My Animorphs"!

Alex, Patrick, and Zach get carried away and dive deep into dishwashing lore, figuring out just how much we hate the whole thing. Anyways, probably the bigger deal is discussing the first of a four-book arc, the 1989 classic "My Teacher is an Alien!" by Bruce Coville. You remember this one, right? Does it hold up?

We talk about the third part of The Andalite Chronicles! That is, pointing out ages is kind of weird, there is some GROSS imagery in this one, and we rush through all the good stuff at the end for some reason! Also, are there a lot of adults that still drink milk and/or chocolate milk? TIME STAMPS: 9:56 - Book Talk 54:42 - Closing Segment: Reading Show Emails Get ready to morph into a new episode...

We talk about the second part of The Andalite Chronicles! That is, Alex uses math on the Taxxon planet, Elfangor makes some bad choices but Alloran doesn't(?), and we get some great world-building. Also, how would an Andalite fare against a human in a race? TIME STAMPS: 9:20 - Book Talk 49:25 - Closing Segment: Reading Listener Reviews Get ready to morph into a new episode of Animorphs 55: The...

We talk about the first part of The Andalite Chronicles! That is, Elfangor isn't all he's cracked up to be, we don't have to get a series recap about not telling people last names, and we meet pre-Visser Three Visser Three and pre-Chapman Chapman, plus a "random" blonde girl! Also, how do we all know some of these universal jingles and jokes without telling each other?? TIME...

We read the (first) Animorphs Choose Your Own Adventure book, or "Alternamorphs". Guys, it's so bad. Zach needs to stop making us experience the worst media. Ever gotten bored WHILE doing a project? Whew, brutal. Unlucky #13, I guess. But there are a lot of ferret references? TIME STAMPS: 9:55 - Main Content Get ready to morph into a new episode of Animorphs 55: The Podcast! Join our...
