Story Time

Once upon a midnight dreary... there was a different story called The Raven. The Brothers Grimm are back with a story Michael is sure will get a reaction out of David, but must tell it quickly or he'll miss the start of Wrestlemania.

The Animorphs are finally back! Today's tale is one of regrets, lost time, and jumpsuits! Back into the thick of it as we begin the last run of books to the end of the series!

The boys are back and ready to explain why they've been gone for longer than intended!

Only real stories in this episode about the events (and some tragedies) that Michael, David and friends have been through in the past few weeks- and to reassure everyone that we're not going anywhere!

Michael is back with a double feature of fairy tales, from BOTH the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen. David starts to feel better about how well he can predict these...until he starts to feel worse.

The saga continues with the fourth and final installment of the Megamorphs! In a moment of weakness, Jake may have made a decision that will forever change the invasion, and their lives. But be careful what you wish for...

This week we have a very special guest from our friends at The Chilluminati Podcast, Mike Mathas! Come learn the difference between UFOs, UAPs, NHIs, and more! Is the truth out there? Who can say??

This week's story is the bee's knees! Or at least definitely has a bee's knees in it. An unexpected surprise, a tale of friendship (and a tail), and Ax learns a little about acceptance.

The boys brave a looming threat of computer crashes to bring you a tale from Hans Christian Andersen, and David has qualms.

PLUS - Our first piece of hate-mail, maybe. We think.

It's a non-stop thrill ride this week! The kids have a pressing issue they can't ignore, but don't have a cow (because it's technically a buffalo)!

The boys ring in the new year with a doozy of a story! Not all superheroes wear capes...or are actually any good at all. PLUS - We finally get around to reading some messages from our listeners!

We're back with listener submitted stories of strange and spooky happenings! Learn about the difference between a Witching and a Wolf hour, how to avoid a family curse, and confront the scariest being of all... Mother!

Time for more teenage trauma: alien edition! The sudden arrival of unexpected warriors has a devastating effect on morale, which is all the more complicated for Ax. Can they figure out the truth before it's too late?

Michael surprises David with a collection of listener submitted weird tales, straight from the (different podcast's) audience! Listen along as we try to figure out if these strange tales pass the "sniff test" in our first ever listener submitted episode! Shoutout to the Chilluminati podcast!

Of all the times for Jake to have to leave for family stuff, it had to be when the Animorphs get a perfect opportunity to hit the Yeerks. But who should call the shots in his absence? It can't be that difficult, could it?

The boys are finally back! After a slightly longer than expected vacation, Michael returns with two delightful tales that remind us a lot of certain Bible stories. And don't forget- always know who your gossips are!

The boys brave sickness and electrical fires to bring you the next installment of the Animorphs series! The yeerks are looking for the Pemalite ship, which means it's time to go back to the sea! But stuff gets weird down in the deep...

We're back with a double-dose of Grimm. Two very different tales, both in plot and star-rating! PLUS - the boys open a fierce debate: dessert rankings.

Boy oh boy, do we have a doozy of a tale today! After a crazy cliffhanger in the last Animorphs episode, it's time to learn the history of one of the group's most powerful enemies - Visser One! See the beginnings of the Yeerk invasion of Earth and learn the secrets of the highest ranked villain we've met!

Get ready for a special treat! Our good friend Kurt Maloney joins us to tell a real and true story, straight from the horse's mouth! Find out how not to act at a club, why 50 Cent is a man of the people, and what happens when you hit a muppet in the nuts!

The kids are back and things are getting heavy! Marco's dad is dating again but there's no time to deal with that because the yeerks are preparing to use our greatest weakness against us...television. Can Marco get a grip on his feelings in time to save the world? And don't forget- empty your slop bucket!

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 out!

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!

Are you ready for THE WORST EPISODE? The boys battle all manner of distraction and interruption as they try to bring you a story that will sound super familiar while technically being new. Is that worth it to you? What if I said there were pigs in it? (There aren't)

Spooky season isn't over yet! Michael delivers a pretty gruesome but cool tale of terrible parenting, followed by a surprisingly bad but thankfully short nothing of a tale! Lessons abound and birds rap this week on Story Time!

The kids are back and this one is BONKERS. Get ready for Animorphs Battleworld, a place where everything is for sale and Michael can't say "thwarted." And watch out for space-nazis!

Welcome to Story Time Spooky Edition! Michael is back with the next tales from the Brothers Grimm, and true to the Halloween season, they're kinda horrifying. Featuring the return of one of the top two thumb-sized adventurers and the world's earliest Yelp review!
