For The Kids (A PBS Kids Podcast) #3: Teletubbies

(ORIGINAL AIRDATE: May 22, 2020) Will & Lucas take chances, make mistakes, and get messy unearthing the story of one of PBS Kids' most successful shows! The boys explore the franchise's deep and varied history from books to video games to the show itself before diving directly down Arnold's esophagus in "The Magic School Bus For Lunch".  Plus, discussions on favorite characters, Will reviews the show's Netflix-exclusive sequel series, and previews of more potential Patreon spin-off shows...

(ORIGINAL AIRDATE: May 8, 2020) Two Canadians give the freedom bell a rattle and revisit the show that aimed to educate kids about the American Revolution: Liberty's Kids! Will & Lucas delve into both American and Canadian history (and the history of DIC!), remember the animation and music styles of the early 2000s, giggle about this episode's special guest, and gush over the famous Canadian Heritage Minutes!

(ORIGINAL AIRDATE: April 24, 2020) Lucas & Will take a trip back to childhood to discuss the beloved children's book series Redwall and its animated counterpart! The guys talk about the series history including forays into opera and video games, the show's unique identity and methods of storytelling among other kid's cartoons of the time, the animal hierarchy (sigh), and the Redwall way of describing food...plus, information on a new Patreon goal!

(ORIGINAL AIRDATE: April 10, 2020) No, not that Zoom, the original 1970s series and, especially, its 1990's remake! Will & Lucas revisit the show that encouraged kids to try new things and left an impression on several generations of children. The guys talk about the history of both iterations and discuss what a modern remake would look like, reveal their special talents, remember when food had faces, and Will gets weirded out by birds...

(Original airdate: March 27, 2020) Lucas & Will are ready to sit down to discuss where they were during Teletubby-mania, find out just how popular the show was in its heyday, reveal their favorite Teletubbies, and discuss what Tubby Toast is...

(ORIGINAL AIRDATE: March 13, 2020) Will & Lucas go back to the kid's game show airing in the mid-2000s, and take time to think about what makes a great game show, get their Romeos confused, recount the history of Aaron Carter (and how he beat Shaq), and way more!

(ORIGINAL AIRDATE: February 14, 2020) Will & Lucas kick off the new Patreon-exclusive show by looking at Postcards From Buster, "Alien Adventure"!  The boys are completely surprised by who sang the theme song, discuss the show's "style king", lament long desert drives, reunite with an unlikely Arthur character, and workshop the ending...

(Re-upload for Spotify listeners) Hey hey! We're talking the power of stuffed animals in "DW's Blankie", and then, we're gushing over the Ratburn siblings in "Arthur's Substitute Teacher Trouble"! Plus, we talk Ulan Bator, the Arthur March Madness bracket, Recess: School's Out, and Planet of the Apes...for some reason. Plus, your emails & Tumblr asks! WARNING: MILD LANGUAGE
