We're engaging in that proud Millennial tradition of nostalgia podcasting by taking an in-depth look at Daria, the iconic MTV cartoon that aired from 1997 to 2002. Whether you're a long-time fan of the show (like host Rob Press) or a relative newcomer (like host Nissa Lee), join us every two weeks as we explore the cynical, sarcastic, still-very-resonant world of our favorite animated teenage misanthrope.

5.xx | Is It College Yet? (Part One) | 8.26.21
Well, here we are. It's time for Daria to wrap itself up once and for all—and very nearly time for us to put this retrospective series to bed. It's the first half of our coverage of "Is It Fall Yet?," this week on Morgendorks! College application season has rolled around, and everybody's trying to figure out where they'll end up. Some will be thrilled! Some, disappointed! Some ... confused? Also, Quinn has a friend with a drinking problem. And Mr. O'Neill's getting married. Look, there's a lot going on.

5.13 | Boxing Daria | 8.5.21
Rob's been waiting three god damn years to talk about this episode, and it's finally here: It's time we covered "Boxing Daria," this week on Morgendorks! When a discarded refrigerator box brings back some troubling emotions from her early youth, Daria's left questioning her understanding of, well ... just about everything. It's a wildly interesting, introspective, and reverent episode, and we truly hope our discussion did it justice.
Enjoy!

5.12 | My Night at Daria's | 7.22.21
As they said in the '90s: Let's talk about sex. It's time for "My Night at Daria's," this week on Morgendorks! When Tom falls asleep at Daria's house it ends up creating a rumor that he and Daria are sleeping together—which leads Daria to feel pressured to actually start sleeping together. But what if you're just not in that mindset?
Also, Jake has a sushi parasite.
Just a note that Rob's connection was a little wonky throughout recording, so occasionally there's some crosstalk/delay in reactions. Nothing severe, but hey.

5.11 | Prize Fighters | 7.8.21
The Fourth of July has come and gone, but we get into the spirit by celebrating two proud American traditions: wildly excessive amounts of processed meat and the brutally exploitative postsecondary education complex! It's time for "Prize Fighters," this week on Morgendorks! When scholarship application season kicks into gear, it sends Daria into direct competition with a few of her classmates. Whole lot of conflict throughout this one, and we had a really good time with it!
Also, Jake bought too many hot dogs. Oh, Jake.
Note: Rob's microphone/connection got a little weird for a few minutes toward the end and his audio goes wonky. Not sure what that's about, but you can still understand him and it doesn't last very long. Sorry about that.

5.10 | Aunt Nauseam | 6.24.21
Batten down the hatches, the Barksdale sisters are in town! It's "Aunt Nauseam," this week on Morgendorks! When Helen's niece gets ready to file for divorce, it ends up bringing the Barksdale sisters together again ... but not in a good way. Turns out they only exist to destroy one another? This is an episode that is somehow both busy (there's a friggin' D plot, y'all) and repetitive, and we get a little lost trying to figure out what that means for our episode rankings.
That said, there's some truly lovely sisterly bonding in here for Quinn and Daria, and we couldn't be more stoked about that. And the Fashion Club gets a strong B plot! Oh man, I'm already talking myself into questioning our ranking. Enjoy!

Customer Reviews
Excellent Podcast!
Daria was my favorite tv show growing up and it’s turned into my favorite comfort show. I absolutely had a blast listening to this podcast. I loved the in depth analysis of the show and the perspective of Rob and Nissa. Both of you were professional throughout. I have the day my favorite mishaps were the sound situations towards the end of the podcast. I actually looked forward to it lol.
Fun podcast but hard disagree on the musical
I generally enjoy this podcast. The hosts are fun to listen to. But I have to say they take things way too seriously. The musical is just a fun episode nothing more. The insistence that it needs to mean something is what in my opinion is wrong with people nowadays, they can’t just watch things to enjoy them it has to have massive meaning or it’s just plain not worthy of being good.
Perfect analysis and in depth conversation
I really appreciate that this detailed Daria podcast was produced. Thank you!! 🌞
