The Yeerky Boys: An Animorphs Podcast

The Yeerky Boys: An Animorphs Podcast

Will, a lifelong Animorphs aficionado, and Jonathan, a lapsed fan, read through K.A. Applegate's iconic series of books together to see how it holds up today. Over the course of the show, they'll discuss each Animorphs book in detail, followed by its spin-offs, adaptations, and any other inane thoughts that enter into their rapidly deteriorating brains.
