- Escafil Me Up! (Book 20) (01:00:49)
The Animorphs and the Yeerks have a house party in David's bedroom. The kids debate whether David should join the team. Can someone become a nothlit mid-morph? Is David's father the kind of parent to attend PTA meetings? Should the Animorphs be incorporating more cute dogs into their morph rotation? Is any population more Yeerkable than kindergartners? And when Visser 3 morphs into a human, does he have his own morph jumpsuit, or is he just... naked? Support the show Support us on Patr...
- Spy-Stomping the Spy-Floor (Book 20) (00:42:45)
The kids bungle their first attempt to burgle the Escafil Device. Marco becomes Spawn. Is David Boy-Rachel? Are the Animorphs fundamentally different from David as people they acquired their powers in Book 1? What does David naming his cobra Spawn tell us about him as a character, and how bad is it own a cobra? And is Marco really as ditzy as he seems this book, or is he just looking for more excuses to hang out with Ax? Support the show Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/an...
- KA Works in Mysterious Ways (Book 20) (00:55:01)
Marco flirts with everyone at school and meets a totally unremarkable boy named David. Should T’shrondra be our new Animorph instead of David? Will Erek King only show up for mission briefs from now on or will we eventually get another Chee book? Has Rachel not learned anything about bursting through windows after her close call in Book 16? Does "the dark triad" refer to a theory of personality types or the cloaked polycule living next to Chris? And wait— this obnoxious little boy is t...
- Minisode: Nothlited Skrit (featuring special guest CJ!) (01:33:08)
Longtime listener and mailbag mainstay CJ discusses us to wrap Book 19! We discuss Cassie as a controversial character in the fandom, whether you can get nothlited as a skrit and then regain your morph powers as a na, and what we can expect in the coming years as we venture out of the Golden Era of Animorphs books into the spooky-scary era of ghostwritten books.

- A Caterpillar Named Forever (Book 19) (00:55:20)
Cassie makes the ultimate sacrifice. Then she comes back. Who is Cassie proving something to in this book: to herself, to the other Animorphs, to the Yeerks? Why wouldn't the Yeerks just re-infest Karen once Aftran frees her? Are Controllers a kind of flesh mech? Does Jake spend the time between each book just journaling about his fellow Animorphs? Red or blue?! Support the show Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/anidorks @anidorkspod on twitter! Send questions to anidorksp...
- Two Yeerks, One Ear (Book 19) (00:54:19)
Cassie gets Yeerked. Aftran delivers an ultimatum. Whose plan was the Yeerking of the Unibank President: the methodical Visser 1, the theatrical Visser 3, or the zany but mysterious Visser 2? Does having Visser One as his mother mean that Marco is a nepo baby? And even if he is, wouldn't he be a wonderful Sub-Visser? Just think of the uniforms he could implement with the Yeerk budget! Have we ever seen Visser 3 morph into a creature smaller than a Yeerk? Support the show Support us on P...
- If Yeerks Had Fur (Book 19) (00:49:24)
Cassie and Karen argue about ethics until a leopard attacks. Marco saves the day. How does Cassie explain all of her torn morphing leotards to her parents given how often she is ripping off strips of material in order to help others? What the hell are we supposed to do with Karen’s truly unhinged line that “slavery is a human concept” and how would that line read to a child? Did Karen's Yeerk, Aftran, ever have a rebellious phase as a teenager? Do Yeerks get annoyed by their hosts’ intr...
- Hawks Ride Thermals to Hawthorne Heights (Book 19) (00:52:11)
Enter: leopard!!! Cassie thinks about clubbing a child. Just where did Yeerks find all of this ambition? Are lazer pointers to cats what dracon beams are to leopards? Is Cassie truly considering killing Karen? What would Marco or Rachel do if they were in Cassie’s situation? Does Eddy do anything between recording sessions except imagine episode titles?

- Butch Cassie & the Aftran Kid (Book 19) (01:05:13)
Cassie quits the Animorphs. The rest of the gang stages an unsuccessful intervention. Karen tries to pet a bear. Did the other Animorphs overreact to Cassie's big news? Is this the most violent main series book we've read yet, even if most of the violence is imagined? How are the Animorphs not getting alien flesh stuck in their teeth all the time? Should Cassie really be sitting on the lid of the toilet? Support the show Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/anidorks @anidorksp...

- Much Chadoo About Nothing (Hork-Bajir Chronicles) (01:05:20)
Or, The Unbearable Anda-Liteness of Being Esplin is spared. Dak and Aldrea have each other— for now. Why do Aldrea and Dak seem unable to imagine being together as different species? Is Hork-Bajir Chronicles just Grease? Is every coincidence in this series always also a possible Ellimist intervention? How does Dak feel about the fact that Aldrea's Hork-Bajir form is just his friend Delf? And seriously— what the hell is Visser 3’s whole deal? Next week (Wed, Aug 6th) we're of...
- OnlyFan(dalite)s (Hork Bajir Chronicles) (00:52:00)
Esplin gets a promotion. Dak and Aldrea uncover Alloran's plan. Why is the world building in this book more satisfying than in the main series books? Why is the Arn's plan to foil the Yeerk attempts at Arn infestation to basically turn themselves into fainting goats? How does Visser 3 compare to Power Rangers’ Ivan Ooze? What the hell do you mean that Z-space shifted? Support the show Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/anidorks @anidorkspod on twitter! Send questions to ani...
- Scruffy-Looking Tree Herders (Hork-Bajir Chronicles) (00:55:59)
Dak and Aldrea build an army of monsters, then Hork-Bajir. Quatzhinnikon reveals all in his PowerPoint. Esplin knocks over a tree phone to build a big pool. Is this scene of the Hork-Bajir squashing the Yeerks the most upsetting act of violence described in the series yet? If Aldrea is the Rachel of this book, does that make Dak more of a Tobias or a Cassie? Why does Quatzhinnikon seem so eager to reveal the whole backstory of the Arn despite his initial protests? Support th...
- Yarn of the Arn (Hork-Bajir Chronicles) (01:00:33)
Introducing: the Arn! Esplin discovers his love for method acting. Aldrea asks to speak to the Arn's manager. Was Aldrea the first “unlikable” narrator for many young readers— or at least the first narrator who behaved in such unlikable ways? Is Dak really the first Hork-Bajir to make it through the blue mists of the Arn's Zone, or are the Arn just pushing the others into planet's fiery core? How is the interspecies relationship between Tobias and Rachel similar and different to the rel...
- Revolutionary Girl Aldrea (Hork-Bajir Chronicles) (00:54:30)
Aldrea loses everything. Dak Hamee faces an impossible choice. Esplin experiences some back trouble. Why does Seerow get all of the blame for what happened with the Yeerks? What does the Andalite response to what happened on the Hork-Bajir planet tell us about how the Andalites will respond to the Yeerk invasion of Earth? Why didn’t Seerow encrypt his messages back to the Andalite home planet? Who among us hasn’t plunged into Father Deep? Support the show Support us on Patreon: https://...
- Big Yeerk, Small Pool (Hork-Bajir Chronicles) (00:56:25)
Enter: Esplin!!! Aldrea becomes ChaDude— err, Chadoo. Dak goes tree-sliding. Chris introduces us to the transfixing sounds of the Speaking Tree. Does Esplin want to get with an Andalite, or does he want to be an Andalite? How do Yeerks manage to form an organized queue in the Yeerk pool among all of their cavorting colleagues? Why don’t the Andalites touch their own Untouched Wilds before they start screwing up other planets? Support the show Support us on Patreon: https://www.pa...
- Unnamed Andalite Woman (Hork-Bajir Chronicles) (01:02:54)
Wer're finally talking about Hork-Bajir Chronicles! Aldrea the Andalite meets Dak the Hork-Bajir. Tobias takes the day off. Seerow screws everything up. Sure, this book has valley depths concealed by a strange, blue fog, but is there anything more mysterious in this novel than Aldrea's mother being born without a name? Why has no one told us about cloud artists before now? Is there anything more gross than how the Andalites talk about intelligence? And how did Miranda and Chris just rea...
- An Occurence at Owl Creek Pool (Megamorphs 2) (00:55:51)
The kids wade in the ocean, watching the world end. Then they go home to watch TV. Does KA Applegate know where this series is going or is she making it up as she goes? Why do Ax and Tobias both always seem to possess mysterious knowledge to which the other Animorphs (and the readers) don't have access? Ax always about the broader universe, while Tobias seems to gained a cynical, almost adult wisdom through becoming a Nothlit. How bad does Chris want to see two T-Rexes make out? And ser...
- Crustacean Christian Side Hug (Megamorphs 2) (00:58:03)
The Animorphs encounter the Mercora, a lovable, crablike people attempting to build a home on Earth, and immediately become conscripted into someone else's war. What does the introduction of the Mercora tell us about the series' stance on nonviolence? Is Cassie doomed to be hardened to violence and harming others over the course of this series? Is Tobias inevitably going to become an Alloran type, willing to sacrifice the well-being of the few for the needs of the many? Are the Mercora...
- Sunday in the Jurassic Park with George (Megamorphs 2) (01:01:03)
The Animorphs continue their dinosaur journey!! We meet a an alien race of ant-like beings, the Nesk. Dino-Tobias hunts human Rachel. Jake morphs into a T-Rex while inside the throat of a T-Rex. Why does KA Applegate hate ants so much? Could the Nesk have possibly learned English that quickly? Did eating T-Rex meat upset Jake’s tummy? The Nesk fly pyramidal spacecrafts-- are those pyramids with sharp corners or smooth corners? And how did Miranda possibly manage to edit around all of Ed...
- OG Blue Prince (Megamorphs 2) (01:13:43)
The Animorphs get nuked back in time to the Age of Dinosaurs. Rachel and Tobias get eaten. Cassie rolls a nat 20 on a survival check. How will Tobias deal with being attracted to humans in the body of a hawk? Are CheesePuffs good? Who taught Eddy about vore? What's with that volcano? Is there anything to the fact multiple characters in this book are rescued by external manifestations of themselves?

- Animorphs Apocrypha (Mailbag) (00:46:13)
*Heads up!! We will be off next Wed, April 30th and plan to begin releasing MegaMorphs 2 (not Book 19!) on Wed, May 7th.* The AniCool Kids went together to see an immersive theater performance and now they can’t stop imagining what an Animorphs immersive theater experience might be like. Escape from the Yeerk Pool? A simulation of a morph gone wrong? A day in the life of Eileen the Dolphin Trainer??

- The Andalite We Deserve (Book 18) (00:55:36)
Book 18 concludes with the reveal of the City of Worms (!!!) and a journey to a Bright Hole. Ax laughs. Do rebellious Andalites ever run away to join the Andalites circus? Should we explore the human instinct to slap a mosquito as a solution to waking coma patients? What is Andalite art like? What are the implications of how Z-space is deployed in this book? If the Andalites have Z-space tech, why the hell are they taking so long? And in the alternate timeline where the Andalites succes...
