The Hindsight
Animorphs Podcast
If you found us, you know the truth about the Yeerks. And the Animorphs. And the way they impacted your childhood.
If you've ever wondered if the housecat that followed you was really a housecat, or looked up at a hawk and been helpless to think about anything other than thermals - you've come to the right place.
The Hindsight is a bi-monthly podcast, with new content released on the 1st and 15th of every month. Our first show will be available for download on October 1st, 2015. Your hosts, Hannah and Kelly (we can't tell you our last names) will go through the Animorphs series book by book, retelling lost childhood tales, and looking into one of the most horrifying and hilarious children's book series of the 90's.
