The Sulp-Niar Pool (or, Yet Another Animorphs Podcast)

Hello everybody,

We are Andrew and Diana, hosts of a new Animorphs podcast called “The Sulp-Niar Pool”. We started this podcast as an excuse to talk about the books in a more deliberate way, and now we’ve got three whole episodes!

What makes us different from other Animorphs podcasts, you may ask?

  • We divide the show into a spoiler-free zone and a spoiler-intensive zone. This way you can still listen along if you are new to the series (and skip past the spoilers), or you can hear us discuss each book in the context of the entire series if you’ve read them before.
  • We both have a semi-scientific background, so you may hear us go on tangents about the biology of morphing and the evolution of Taxxons.
  • We are sponsored by the Sharing.

Feel free to read more on our website, sulpniarpool.com, which has a link to our iTunes as well as our Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, etc. You can also email us at sulpniarpool@gmail.com, and we just might read your email on the air!
