Summary

It's finally happened: Talking Simpsons has turned a whopping ten years old! And to ring in the occasion, we're replacing this month's episode of Talk to the Audience with a little—well, BIG—celebration of ourselves. Listen in to hear us discuss our humble roots, the many growing pains of running a podcast network, and the future of talking about an animated series with no end in sight. And, as a special treat, we respond to your questions and comments about a decade of cartoon cromulence. Who knows what adventures we'll have between now and the time the show becomes unprofitable?

New opening and closing themes by Miles Morkri. And thanks so much to everyone who contributed to this episode!

I heartily endorse this event or product.

Ahoy, hoi, everybody, and I have one question for all the listeners out there.

0:19.8

Where were you 10 years ago on the night of June 24th, 2015? And if your answer is anywhere, but I had access to the internet, it's very likely you heard the very first episode of Talking Simpsons as it went live. Hi, I'm Bob Mackie. You might remember me from such podcasts as discussing Duckman and God the Devil and Bob and Bob.

And who is here with me today as always?

Henry Gilbert, in 10 years is enough time for at least five interviews with Bill Oakley.

And yes, this month we are skipping talk to the audience for one very important reason.

0:50.2

And that reason is we are celebrating ourselves because we've been doing Talking Simpsons for an entire 10 years.

0:56.4

So on this occasion, we thought we'd reflect upon the history of the podcast and then answer your questions and comments about a decade of us doing this thing that you like.

1:05.1

And hey, we like it a lot too.

1:07.2

Yeah.

1:07.6

Hey, you reminded me that you had to remind me it was the 10 years.

1:12.4

I had not, I totally missed it like the time fly.

1:16.3

I mean, for half of those years, basically time became meaningless after COVID to me, I think.

1:21.4

Those days, the years didn't count anymore.

1:24.8

To know that half of it is, actually, it's almost perfectly half, isn't it?

1:28.1

Like half is pre and half as post 2020 of COVID.

1:31.6

Yeah, basically.

1:32.5

And it does feel like a 10-year blur.

1:35.2

But when you look back at everything we've done and we're going to go over it, it's going to be a lot of fun.

1:39.7

There's a mountain of podcasts that I've been created in our wake.

1:43.6

Yeah, I mean, we stand by being so productive.
