Join us as we learn about leopards, Yeerk siblings, and what REALLY happens to caterpillars in those chrysalis...es...esses. I don't know, I'm a podcaster, not a scientist!

In this episode of Animorphous Discussion, Robin takes Jess and Travis back in time to learn the secrets of Megamorphs 2. What happened to Megamorphs 1, you ask? Lost to history and/or it stayed on Youtube when we streamed it years ago. Listen and learn the best way to survive being eaten by sea monster, the secret origin of broccoli, and the one weird trick/war crime that will allow you to travel through time.Sound effects:Huge Explosion1.flac by CGEffex -- https://freesound.org/s/93835/ -- License: Attribution NonCommercial 4.0 ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
In this episode of Animorphous Discussion, we learn a little bit about mosquitoes... and a lot about friendship. And also a fair amount about the battle for a planet of psychic frogs hundreds of light-years away. But the friendship thing, that's the real winner. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
In this episode of Animorphous Discussion, Robin reminds Jess and Katie Tregs about the stars of the 90s. We also talk about the best breakfast for defeating the Yeerks and the best thing to order at a fast food joint. Also, things get really morally dicey for these tweens. Maybe it's time to revisit that whole "kidnap the parents" idea? Or just join The Sharing, that seems way better.Sound effects used in this episode under Creative Commons licenseStage Clear 8 Bit.wav by Mrthenoronha | License: Attribution NonCommercial 4.0 ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
In this episode of Animorphous Discussion, Robin takes Jess and Katie Tregs back to the glory days, when a 56k modem was the best money could buy and anyone could get on a plane just by becoming an insect. Listen as we discuss the types of floor one can mop, the scariest animal to suddenly find in a hallway (hammerhead shark), and that one weird trick that might just let a Yeerk live without Kandrona rays. Give us a listen, and don't forget to get that oatmeal! Wait, who put that there? I meant to say "Join the Sharing". For humans like us. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
Wow, we finally got to 15 episodes, and it only took *mumble* years! To celebrate, Robin came up with a quiz to see how much Katie Tregs and Jess remember about these first 15 books.

In this episode of Animorphous Discussion, Robin, Katie Tregs, and Producer Daddy Travis talk about copyright-neutral establishments, learn a little something about sharks, and...run through the whole android thing again?

In this episode of Animorphous Discussion, Robin and Katie Tregs emerge from stasis to talk about another Animorphs book, and they bring a new co-host along for the ride! Because our listeners have been extra patient, we're rewarding you with an extra-long episode! Also, Robin doesn't know how pacing works. We ask so many questions in this episode: Who would win in a fight of birds vs. guns? What is really the worst breakfast cereal? When do these books start getting horny? We don't really answer any of these questions, but they're fun to ask. We hope you'll agree! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
