Summary
We've reached the end of the month (and the beginning of a new year), which means it's time for another episode of our community podcast! This time around, we discuss the most recent Simpsons episodes—before the upcoming drought—and news about another upcoming Simpsons movie: Boots Riley's silver screen adaptation of Mr. Burns, a Post-Electric Play. And, as always, we read and respond to your comments and questions from the last round of episodes. It's all happening on Talk to the Audience: the podcast that's even more fun than Unnecessary Surgery Land!
