  • Animorphs Part 4: We HAVE to Talk about David
    Jan 13 2025

    Everyone was like, "look out for David *eyes emoji*" and in this episode we find out why. These three books are jampacked with moments that made us scream a little and we discuss them. (Spoiler: RACHEL. I LOVE YOU, QUEEN.) Sarah marvels at
    Animorph's Pain Per Page ratio. Cyrus ponders if they could fight a whale. None of the characters are happy, but boy did we have a good time.

  • 2024 Recap: DIY, Top Fives, and the Raw Power of Animorphs
    Dec 31 2024

    Another year, another yearly wrap-up episode. This week, we have a somewhat meandering conversation (gasp! so different from normal!) reflecting on our personal and literary lives. Turns out buying a house will derail your life. We share our favorite books, our upcoming resolutions, and our intimate relationships with our local Lowe's paint counter. Thanks for sticking around for another year, and we'll see you in 2025 which is a year that sounds absolutely fake.

  • A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine
    Dec 17 2024

    We are pleased to announce this is NOT an episode about Mortal Kombat. You might be surprised at the challenge that presented. It is, however, an episode about the phenomenal science fiction political thriller, A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine! Sarah and Cyrus discuss the challenges and delights that such a complex world presents, and Sarah definitely doesn't struggle to say the word "imago" even a little bit.

    Next up, catch our end-of-year wrap-up episode, followed shortly by the long awaited David arc of the Animorphs series! And yes, there will be a Mortal Kombat bonus episode somewhere in the mix.
