Want to Hear Talking Simpsons Revisit Season One? Vote Now! (Patreon)

Hi everyone, we've got a special poll for all of you, just in time for the 30th anniversary of the debut of The Simpsons. By now you've seen we did a special episode for the holidays of returning to Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire to cover the episode anew. We got two of our favorite guests back for it, and we talked for four times as long as we did when we recorded it the first time five years ago.

After returning to season one for this week, we realized that Talking Simpsons Network has grown so much in the last almost five years. We've done so many interviews and research and refinement/expansion of the podcast with so many cool guests. We think that, on the occasion of this special anniversary that we'd like to start 2020 by doing new podcasts about the first 12 episodes of the series! Not only that, up to this point all our season one podcasts have been behind a paywall up until this point, so by redoing season one we can make it available on the free feed! (And don’t worry, the original podcasts about season one will still be available in our back catalogue.)

To be clear, Talking Simpsons would finish off the last two episodes of season 10, then put a pause on starting season 11 to podcast about Bart The Genius at the start of January. We'd then finish Season One Redux with Some Enchanted Evening sometime in March and then resume our normal schedule with season eleven.

We think it'll be a really awesome time for us as we all reflect on the first season's 30th anniversary, as well as a chance for many to experience season one for the first time in years if you're subscribing to Disney Plus or rediscovering the first year in another way.

But we want to hear from you guys first, so we set up this poll for listeners. We hope you're as excited as we are about doing this, but please let us know in the choices below.

To sum things up, if we revisit season one, you get:

• Podcasts MUCH longer and more thorough than our original 30-minute season one episodes.
• A look at season one that's NOT behind a Patreon paywall.
• Valuable and varied insight from great guests.
• TWO different takes on Talking Simpsons season one, since our original 2015 exploration of season one will remain on Patreon—where it's always been—and will not be deleted.

Thanks as always for your support and we hope everyone has a happy holiday season!
