THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE! David is back with the next in K.A. Applegate's series Animorphs. As the only one of them stuck in a morph, Tobias is a real fish out of water. How can you deal with bird-brain? Why would you do gymnastics at a mall? Why on earth did anyone ever teach David how to use weapons? All this and MORE (results may vary).

We're back again with more shape-shifting shenanigans this week as David tells the next chapter in K.A. Applegate's Animorphs saga. What would you do if your friend's parents were mind controlled by aliens? Can S-Club 7 fans feels love? Answers to these questions and more!!

Join Michael as he discovers K.A. Applegate's classic sci-fi epic. Could you control a lizard brain? Can a tiger beat a spaceship? What if horses had scorpion tails? ALL THIS AND TOO MUCH MORE.

We're back and barreling as dangerously as possible towards the end of Lost season two! Michael tells of his recent wounds, David picks a fight with someone you really shouldn't, and Eric Zipper tries to maintain some kind of order.

Turns out that there's just TOO MUCH Grinch for one episode. The conversation with Tyler Phillips (@typhillips) continues as he recounts his "Grinchathon," continuing where we left off with the 2018 animated version and the recent musical TV special. Happy holidays from everyone at Story Time- which is, you know...just the two of us.

The holidays snuck up on us, but not before we managed to pull off a Christmas miracle! Join us and Tyler Phillips (@typhillips) as we discuss ALL four versions of the Grinch following Tyler's "Grinchathon" just the day before recording. Is there a difference between the different versions? Would they be worth talking about on a podcast? Found out here! Part 2 coming Christmas Eve!

Em Hantke (@Emburger9) returns with what is probably the penultimate episode of the My Immortal series, and boy oh boy do we have some time-shenanigans this week! We learn the author really likes bi guys (or so they say), how to cure addiction, and that David plays the piano...kinda. Don't miss out! Or do, up to you. Also- a special message/almost apology to those who listen until after the outro...

Grab your eyeliner and crank up the emo-rock, Em Hantke (@Emburger9) is back with the continuing adventures of My Immortal, the best/worst fan fic on the internet!

We're back! After an TOTALLY PLANNED week off, the boys return with another Russian fairy tale. Mean rich people beware! This story has it all: social/economic commentary, complex emotional consequences, and a little magic man! Also vodka.

Go figure when the boys did Greek myths, they missed one about an ignored woman!
