Story Time

Michael is back with more San-tales! Learn about the trials of poor veterans, dying princesses, and pious poultry in today's episode!

About 4 months in the making, we finally get to record the next batch of Animorphs TV show episodes! We watched these together months ago, but thanks to some technical issues were unable to record talking about them until NOW. See our various states of memory as we try to piece together what we saw, featuring the lovely and talented Em Hantke!

Michael and David brave the elements to bring you the next chapter in the Animorphs saga. A surprise visit leads to the (mostly) return of and old...friend? And why does that mean we have to go to space? Find out now!

The boys are finally back in town! Michael brings a couple of small stories with very important lessons about life, faith, and gambling. And also some dumb animals.

Happy 200th Episode!* In a stunning turn of events, David brings not an Animorphs story (he'll be back with that in his next episode don't worry), but a classic tale of horror and tragedy: Mary Shelley's Frankenstein! Hear the original tale straight from the mouth of someone born almost 200 years later! *Kinda

It's another wild one! While the boys procrastinate on their now late 200th episode, Michael brings in a collection of...assorted stories. Some good, some...not as good, some so short it probably doesn't even count. PLUS: David is a MESS.

**Possible Trigger Warning (Torture/Interrogation)** This episode is INTENSE! The yeerks new weapon, the anti-morphing ray, is ready for testing. The Animorphs hatch a plan that is so dangerous it's almost guaranteed to be the death of at least one of them. But even if they succeed, will they be changed forever?

WE MADE IT... to our totally not 200th but actually definitely 200th episode! The boys discuss plans for celebrating, and Michael brings three terrific stories for this totally normal momentous occasion. Thank you for listening for all this time!

Talk about a split personality! Things get weird after Rachel goes on a school field trip, and the Yeerks are up to something that could threaten everyone's safety for good. Can the Animorphs pull it together in time? PLUS - Shoutout to our robot announcer voice, brought to us by one of you! You can find more of the voice behind the robot at twitch.tv/WhinryTheWhaleshark

Listener beware! Michael continues with old school fairy tales, and this week's are...a lot to handle. Some very important lessons we never expected to have to learn, but it's good we did anyway.

Is there ever a good time for a family emergency? Not if you ask Jake! The Animorphs find themselves right in the middle of another crisis that hits too close to home, this time for the "fearless leader." If given the choice, can he choose between his brother's life and his father's? And can he figure it all out without exposing the group's most important secret? Come find ou...

As we March into April, Michael brings three tales of fools and trickery to celebrate one of our least favorite "holidays." Wooden cows, sleeping women, and a lot of lies abound in this week's episode!

The Animorphs train keeps on rolling as we head straight into another very dramatic adventure. Marco's mom is back...or is she? There is a saying about the best laid plans of mice and men, but what about goat plans?

We finally did it! "Executive Producer" Em Hantke (@Emburger9) graces us with her presence as we watch and then discuss the first chunk of the long gone Animorphs Nickelodeon TV show from 1999. Was it good? Is it worth it? MAYBE! (Note: you DO NOT need to have seen/purchased this show to enjoy this episode, though hopefully obviously there are spoilers)

David is back with the next Animorphs and... let's just say we hope you're ready. Time is definitely not on the kids' side as they discover just how far they'll go to make things right. But be careful... Not everyone can make it through something as dangerous as this.

It's a tag-team day of stories as Michael brings one a piece from both the Brothers Grimm and good ol' Hans Christian Andersen. Many lessons get learned and vengeances are wrought in today's episode!

We're back and this week everyone's getting down with The Sickness! Ax is in trouble, and so is an old friend of Cassie's. She's the only one who can help thanks to a mysterious and terribly timed illness. Try to keep your food down as she races to save...well...everyone.

Michael is back and very excited to tell us more tales of love, magic, and murder. Things are going to crazy-town pretty immediately in this week's episode, so hold on to your war-waging hat!

Can you smell what's cooking? The Animorphs can! The yeerks are up to no good  involving animal testing and a meat packing plant, so the kids are going to have to get their hands a little dirty to find out what's what. Plus Ax discovers daytime television.

It's time for some famous ones! Michael brings in two tales that have a surprising amount of things in common, and the boys have notes! 

The new year continues with some fun though baffling tales! Learn about the original Wonder Twins, then brace yourself for the ultimate gaslighting adventure! What more could anyone want?

It's a new year and that means... we keep going on Animorphs! Join Michael and David as they face the indifferent danger that is the deep sea. Something is wrong with the Animorphs friends the Chee and they are the only ones who can help, but things may not be entirely as they seem... PLUS, David finally watched Silence of the Lambs!

It's the last episode of the year and to celebrate Michael brings David not a yuletide tale, but a previously promised story from 1001 Arabian Nights. This one definitely takes a wild turn or two as David tries to keep up with a tale of aspiration, loss, revenge, and of course... women?

We're finally back with more Animorphs... kinda. Get ready to test yourself (and Michael) on how you would fare as a member of the team! Many difficult choices await! PLUS- Michael gets some much needed (and requested) support just in time for the holidays.

Join us this week as Michael responds to criticism by presenting two stories from outside our usual Grimm Brothers/Hans Christian Andersen sources. Who's to blame for an unfortunate accident? Can a bear be a cat? Find out now!
