Anidorks: An Animorphs Podcast!!

We’re back!! We’ll begin releasing Book 13: The Change next week, but we’re kicking things off with a mailbag episode. We hear from a new listener, speculate about why KA Applegate hasn't called into the podcast yet, and discuss whether that mysterious dark force from the end of Andalite Chronicles has influenced Miranda to deny the existence of hoof tongue.

We interviewed the creator of the iconic Animorphs covers, David Mattingly!! A few weeks ago, David was generous enough to spend an hour talking to us about everything from his process of designing the book covers to his prized framed bug collection to the rise of AI art and what it means for visual artists. More importantly, we press him with our conspiracy: if his father invented the Waterpik, why is it that he never asks his models to reveal their teeth? David was genuinely a joy to...

We wrap up our second season with a conversation covering the first Megamorphs book, books 8-12, and Andalite Chronicles. If the first seven books asked why the Animorphs fight, is this portion of the series asking what the cost of fighting is? Miranda wonders what the original Spider-Man movies tell us about what’s to come in the series, Eddy is still trying to figure out how we ended up in the Amazon a few books ago, and Chris is ready to fully commit to being an Andalite Chronicles podcast...

We finally finished the Andalite Chronicles! In this supersized episode, Elfangor goes to college, Loren ages rapidly to a narratively convenient age, and we finally learn the extraordinary origin of a beloved character: Hedrick Chapman!! If the Yeerk invasion is just starting in the 80s, why isn’t it further along in the main series books? Who is this cosmic force of evil that the Ellimist reveals to Elfangor just before returning him to the Andalites? And what exactly is Elfangor impl...

In which Loren introduces Elfy to her mother and we find ourselves confounded by conspiracy after conspiracy. Why does Elfangor insist on pretending that he has never encountered cloth, taste, or roads? Why does he not run into a single figure from his past in this pocket universe when Loren's sector is so crowded? Do Andalites have nipples? We need answers!!

Elfy finds himself disoriented in a familiar but strange new world after using the Time Matrix. He ponders whether you can ever really go home again, splashes around in the water with Loren, and meets Visser 3(2)‘s bizarre new minions. How lubricated is the Andalite musculature? Could halal falafel, made with garbanzo beans = Hala Fala, the garabah tree? And what the hell is going on with Mortons?

We’re in the home stretch of Andalite Chronicles! The only way for Elfy and friends to escape a very perilous situation in space is to finally use the Time Matrix. Is Elfangor blaming himself a little too much? Will the Animorphs ever acquire a living asteroid morph? And is Elfangor’s central dilemma in these books that he wants to hold the very hand that he also desperately wants to slice off?
