Are you still not a supporter at Patreon.com/TalkingSimpsons??? Lemme tell you, you're missing out on so much exclusive stuff, including our very in-depth interviews with Simpsons legends. To give you a taste of what you're missing, here are big chunks of our three most recent interviews out of the many currently available on the Patreon. That includes:

Mike Scully - We chat with the season 9-12 showrunner about working on the series during seasons some fans found controversial!

Dan Greaney - He's worked on the show for two decades and created the word "embiggen," so he has much to share about the writers' room!

David Silverman - One of the most important figures in Simpsons history, this legendary animator takes us through his work on the shows formative shorts all the way to his episode in 2018!

If you enjoy these, listen to the full interviews for all of them at Patreon.com/TalkingSimpsons for as little as $5 a month!! (And you get way more than just those interview for your payment!)
