Hello all you lovely people out there in Internet land! Welcome to Animateys, a podcast hosted by two people (friends) who insist on taking beloved childhood cartoons and mercilessly evaluating them (i.e. over-complicating them)! As the name implies, our primary interest is in cartoons and animation, particularly those on networks like Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon, the likes of which we both watched as kids. We re-watch a new cartoon each episode and discuss them in a laid-back style podcast with semi-regular episodes. In addition to general reviews and basic information about each show we watch we each bring a specific perspective to bear on the podcast. Paige focuses more on political and economic content and implications of each cartoon while Chris focuses his psychological knowledge to understand the implications of each cartoon, although we often cover both areas together. Tangents, jokes and puns, social commentary, popular culture, philosophy discussions of storytelling, and emotional rantings are also included! Oh, and Steven Universe. We invariably talk about Steven Universe almost every show (we just can't help it!)

We hope you enjoy what we put together for you and encourage you to follow us, comment, or join in on the discussion, and hopefully, to go back and re-watch some of these shows as well!

Episode Schedule: We try to put out an episode at the very least once a month, but our ideal schedule has episodes occurring bi-monthly. When we require 2 podcast episodes for one show, we often put out the 2nd episode one week from the date we record for the 1st episode. As you might expect, this means we are a bit sporadic in when we post, so just follow us to keep up to date. Episodes run from 45 minutes to 1 hour and 20 minutes, with 1 hour being our ideal length.

    Episode 59: As Told By Ginger

    Episode 59: As Told By Ginger

    In an Animateys first, we sit down for the 2nd time to discuss a show that, on first pass almost got a shallow treatment from us, but on second pass was so much more than we remembered. As Told By Ginger will certainly be a different take on the shows we tend to see from Nickelodeon. Note, this episode is longer than our typical ones.

    Episode 58: The Wild Thornberrys

    Episode 58: The Wild Thornberrys

    Animateys is on the trail of the illusive "Wild Thornberry" species. We have a smashing episode for you. For example, did you know that the adult caretakers of the Thornberry species almost entirely ignore their young? Or that they adopt all sorts of outsiders with no consideration of the consequences? Learn this and more on today's episode. Blalarahahgh!

    Episode 57: Codename Kids Next Door

    Operation A.N.I.M.A.T.E.Y.S.: Animation Nerds Intermittently Muse About Toons Excitedly Yet Sensually.

    This time we discuss Codename: Kids Next Door. However, do be warned, like any good spy movie or show, we take many twists and turns away from the show to discuss other clandestine topics.

    Episode 56: Kim Possible

    Episode 56: Kim Possible

    Call us, beep us, if you wanna reach us! We're back with Kim Possible, an early 2000's romp that asks the question: What if the average high school girl was anything but average?

    Episode 55: Danny Phantom

    Episode 55: Danny Phantom

    We're going ghost this time on Animateys as we discuss Danny Phantom just in time for the spooky season (at least when we recorded!). Enjoy a ghostly romp around Amity Park as we discuss this gem of the mid 00's.

    Episode 54: Johnny Bravo

    Episode 54: Johnny Bravo

    Sassy! This time, we dig into a weirdly popular cartoon cartoon from the late 90's - Johnny Bravo. He's an Elvis - James Dean milkshake that just doesn't quite taste right in this, the year of our Lord 2023. So join us as we dish about this one.
