Hey, it's that Simpsons podcast you used to listen to! Remember?! And they've got a new episode! Originally recorded in February 2021, right after episode 69. Worth the wait? Who can say.

What if Homer...was a bad man? We'd have to come back and record a new episode about it.

There's a bit of a tedious bit in this episode where Nick and I slip away from the mic and have a conversation in the kitchen, and although I cut it down a lot I decided to leave over half of it in. Was that a good idea? I don't know. In this episode of our podcast we talk about the popular animated sitcom The Simpsons, and, more specifically, that one episode where Lisa plays ice hockey. It's good! You should listen to it. emai...

Honestly, I barely remember recording this one and one of the conversations we have is very weird to me now. Anyway, this week we talk The Shining, time travel, and eating kids. Enjoy! email: podsinthekeyofspringfield@gmail.com

This one actually has something to do with The Simpsons, I promise. Twitter Facebook email: podsinthekeyofspringfield@gmail.com

This week, we discuss that one episode of The Simpsons where a pathetic former television star (and criminal) with wild hair rises to power in the Republican party, eventually claiming far more power than you'd think a man like that would be capable of wielding after rigging the results, only to eventually be undone by his own childish anger. It made us sad. Also if you make 'PRBLMTC' a real thing please credit us and give us so...

Hello! Our Itchy & Scratchy Land episode, open for business! Who are you to resist it, huh?  This week, we dive into what turns out to be an extraordinarily good episode of The Simpsons, even by golden period standards. We talk about the emergence of new character Shark Boy, our weird childhood misinterpretations of this episode, and whether or not Nick having not seen Star Wars counts as a personality trait or not. Enjoy! Tw...

Look, yes, it's a clip show. But Nick and James, having been handed lemons, make...well, maybe not lemonade, but some sort of sweetened beverage. Did I find a light gimmick to work into this during the editing process? Kind of.  email: podsinthekeyofspringfield@gmail.com Facebook Twitter

Hello! It's that one where Lisa has a rival and Homer steals a bunch of sugar. This episode is 50% James laughing about Homer selling sugar door-to-door, 50% Nick talking about anagrams. Enjoy. Part of the Alottagreen network. Twitter Facebook email: podsinthekeyofspringfield@gmail.com

Is it St Swithen's Day already?! James and Nick are back with a bunch of thoughts and observations that sort-of run perpendicular to the truly great Simpsons episode 'Bart of Darkness'. Come for the episode analysis, stay for the weird musical tangents, the reminiscence of the days of our youth, and Nick getting noticeably uncomfortable over how effusive James is in his praise of the show.

Welcome to Sneaky Peaks. My name is James O’Connor. I live for Twin Peaks. I am known as Jickle. There is a story behind that. I have many theories about Twin Peaks. Some of them are sad, some funny. Some of them are theories of madness, of violence. Some are ordinary. Yet they all have about them a sense of mystery – the mystery of David Lynch. Sometimes, the mystery of death. The mystery of the words. The words we’re going to...

For one reason or another, we're back at it again with The Simpsons Movie! This time we're back with a real-time audio commentary as we watch the whole film and chime in with our thoughts about the movie (and a bunch of other things). Tune in for some great revelations! Why does Nick know so much about film stock? What did the two hosts get up to during that weird period where they lived together? Which local magazine owes James a ...

Hello! Season 5 of The Simpsons ends on a bit of a weird note, so we decided to bring in Elliot Jay O'Neill from The Simpsons Index podcast to, uh, help us also end on a weird note. Lots of questions to address here: has Homer become unstuck in time? Who is the Fleshmütter? How long can we go without introducing our guest? Isn't it, like, kind of abusive to tell your wife that you're going to die if she doesn't let you start depend...

As we approach the end of season 5 like a couple of...non...giving up podcast guys, your hosts James and Nick contemplate the big questions. Does The Boy Who Knew Too Much actually make much sense? Does the trial work on a legal level?  Is Lady Bouvier's Lover, just quietly, a masterpiece? Would Nick enjoy The Graduate? What happens when James sits down to write the show notes after a long day of work and just doesn't have the ener...

Your pod friends James and Nick have finally covered 100 episodes of seldom-seen animated American sitcom The Simpsons! We look forward to the next 550-or-so, which we're sure will...retain the high level of quality we've enjoyed thus far, right?  In this episode of the podcast we look at the time Burnsy more-or-less kidnapped Bart and then the one where there's a dog in the vents and Skinner gets fired.  Discussion topics th...

On this week's episode of The Simpsons... -checks notes- it says here that Bart gets an elephant? And the family struggles to feed it? That can't be right? This is, like, season 5, right? And how many more seasons did the show go for?....it's...it's still going? Oh. Well then. This week Nick and James ask the question on everyone's lips: where's my elephant? Also, there's a competition. You can win a thing. Instructions are e...
