Update On The Next Season Of Talking Simpsons!
Added 2020-10-31 00:00:16 +0000 UTCShort version: In 2021 we'll be alternating between season 2 and 12 every week!
Long version: Hello everyone! As you may have seen, we polled our Patreon users to see if they'd prefer that we start our 2021 podcasts by revisiting season 2 of The Simpsons OR continuing on to season 12. The results to date of over 750 subscribers split with 70% for season 2, and 30% for season 12.
While season 2 is the two-to-one favorite, we were reading in the comments some great suggestions and realized there was a happier compromise for this idea. And so, as we explain more thoroughly in the attached podcast, starting next January we'll be doing an episode of season 2 one week, and then a season 12 episode the next. So Bart Gets An "F" will be followed by Treehouse of Horror XI, which will be followed by Simpson and Delilah, and so on!
We also wanted to let you all know we're amending our $15,000 a month Patreon goal. Previously that had been a third yearly miniseries, but we decided a better change would be, in 2021, making Talking Futurama a monthly exclusive podcast for our $5+ Patreon subscribers in addition to all the other current bonus content.
Be sure to listen to the podcast for some more context on our reasoning for these changes. Thanks as always for your fantastic support—we couldn't do it without you!!!

I am delighted by the prospect of a fulltime Taking Futurama as it's a series I love on pretty much the same level I do classic Simpsons (at least the Fox years). And it looks like I'm not alone as it certainly seems like it's tracking as an annual mini series since it wins the polls comfortably. Again, at least until you guys get through the Fox years. This should hopefully make your other mini series polls a bit more exciting and less predictable, though it wouldn't shock me if King of the Hill assumes the present Futurama role.
