There is a resurgence in popularity of Richard's Animorphs Forum, an old school forum that could be just the place for our newest Animorphs theory!

We talk about Book 13! That is, Tobias continues to be moody and live with the consequences of breaking the ONE RULE, the Visser falls for kind of a silly plan, and there is controversy in the subculture about when exactly to read this book! Also, is Alex now a big Tobias fan, what is the Ellimist's deal, really, and is this the origin for the Hidden Valley brand? Plus, we get a very special guest: Gabriel Bergmoser, author of the book "The Hunted", and Animorphs blogging superfan (Animorphs Revisited). Check it out!

We got to chat with David Mattingly, legendary cover artist for (most of) the original Animorphs series run. You know his work as it has been ingrained into the brain of millennials everywhere, and it was awesome getting some time to talk.

We have had fun creating a few Animorphs-themed ads in our book-related episodes. Maybe you've caught them, maybe you haven't, but here are the Season 1 commercial fun bits to consume all at once!

We talk about Book 12! That is, this is definitely the puberty book, the story goes a little off the rails, we have many thinly-disguised pop culture references, and what a weird way to portray allergies! Also, did teen heart throbs have that much influence, does Hook have the right message, and are we qualified to discuss this character for this one (thus, the guest inclusion!)? Plus, we get a very special guest: Kendra, author of the YA book "Hole in the Middle". Check it out!

It's that time of the year when magic surrounds us all, and Alex and Patrick have written a delightful Animorphs-themed holiday story that Zach will read, live on this very podcast! Will it be awesome? It'll probably be awesome.

We interviewed Chris Grine, illustrator of the Animorphs graphic novels 1-6! Unfortunately, some audio issues caused most of the interview to be lost, so we've cut it down to a mini-episode! It's still a great time, though!

We talk about Book 11! That is, Jake deals with some sort of time-traveling shenanigans, the rain forest is a BRUTAL PLACE, and who knows all of this stuff about the Red Sea? Also, how we define our videgame systems, how do we define what is ours, and we get all philosophical. Plus, we get a very special guest: Anthony, host of The Book Faire, a podcast all about children's literature. Check it out!
