Talking Simpsons - Bart of Darkness With Cody Ziglar
"What fun can you have in a pool anyway that you can't have in a bathtub with a garbage bag taped around your cast?" - Bart Simpson Broadcast season six kicks off with the Simpsons making their grandest upper-lower-middle-class purchase yet: a pool! Lisa is crowned the Queen of Summertime, while a treehouse mishap causes Bart to break his leg and become isolated and weird—but no more so than any child who would later grow up to become a podcast host. And did Ned Flanders kill his wife? Listen in as we wrap everything up in a NEAT LITTLE PACKAGE! (Sorry if that sounded sarcastic.)

Talking Simpsons - The Dan McGrath Interview
We were saddened to hear about the passing of Simpsons writer Dan McGrath, who wrote the episodes "Boy-Scoutz 'n the Hood" and "Bart of Darkness," and also co-wrote the Treehouse of Horror Segments "The Devil and Homer Simpson" and "Time & Punishment." Back in August of 2018, we were able to interview Dan, and because this podcast has never been available outside of our Patreon, we've decided to make it free for all to hear. So listen in, and celebrate the life of Dan McGrath: a writer who brought so much to The Simpsons, King of the Hill, Mission Hill, and more.

Talking Simpsons - Treehouse of Horror XV With Merritt K
"Homer, please; don't tempt the gods! I mean GOD—there's one god! Only one. Well, sometimes there's three..." - Ned Flanders Broadcast season 16 begins with three spooky tales that probably should have aired less than a week after Halloween. Ned Flanders receives deadly premonitions, Lisa becomes a Victorian-era detective, and the entire family takes a fantastic voyage into the withered body of Mr. Burns. All this, and two uses of the Perfect Strangers theme? Let the commencement begin-ulate!
