Prepare yourself for what might be the worst Arthur episode yet, as Will and Lucas interrogate a potential influence on dog-and-baby episodes in "Carried Away" and get bogged down in alter egos with "Dueling Detectives!" It's not all doom and gloom, though, as the guys chat about Doctor Who, an enjoyable Word From Us Kids, another marital status change, and an EPIC CLAPBACK from the Arthur TikTok account...

The first snow of the holiday season is messing with Will and Lucas' heads, so they power through to discuss the perils of collection in "Arthur's Toy Trouble" and the joys of invention in "Spar for the Course." Plus, a brief history of the sauna, the implications of Superman existing in the Arthur universe, antiquing, and a surprising Word From Us Kids segment...

Sue Ellen gets her time in the spotlight with a double episode, where Will and Lucas discuss soft math skills in "Sue Ellen Adds It Up," and get to know another new-ish character in "Wish You Were Here." The guys are also a bit ornery, as Will tries to get into the Christmas spirit, and he and Lucas go on a rant about the latest YouTube ads. Also, PruEllen or Suella?

The guys are back for a brand new season of Arthur! Season 19 begins in earnest with a trip through the human(?) brain in "Brain's Brain," and critique Elwood City's child labor laws in "Brain Sees Stars." Will and Lucas also follow up on a Word From Us Kid in the news, Lucas identifies the show's new nemesis and gives a pep talk on car repair, and the two say goodbye to one of their favorite characters and one of the show's longest-running actors...

Lucas and Will reunite to check out one of the newer programs on the show, Let's Go Luna! This is a preview of the full episode, which also features the debut of a new segment; to listen to the whole thing, and hundreds of hours of additional podcast content, subscribe to our Patreon!

Will sits down to chat with the people behind the latest Arthur-related viral hit, "I Made The Arthur Theme Song Midwest Emo [NOT CLICKBAIT]", made by Stanley from the band Echo and Evan from Black Valve Media! Stanley and Evan talk about how the Arthur cover came together and why they chose the Midwest emo style, how it feels for their project to go viral and the response to it so far, and of course, their favorite Arthur characters, episodes, merch, and memories...

T'is the season? Well, it's certainly time once again for Will and Lucas to give you their thoughts on the season of Arthur that was, including their top 5 episodes! Then, stick around for an extended preview of Will's chat with Brett Ryback and John Maclay, the creators of "Arthur & Friends Make A Musical"! For the full hour-long conversation, subscribe to our Patreon...

Lucas returns (with a brief musical guest in tow) to discuss with Will the season finale of Arthur season 18, the double episode "Shelter From The Storm"! Along the way, the guys try and remember the oldest internet thing they can remember, find out about the real Hurricane Nigel, make the same joke about the celebrity guest voice, plus Lucas defines a good throwaway character and gives his thoughts on the new Scorsese film...

Will is joined by Kat from the Just For Fics and Giggles Podcast for yet another D-double dose, as they critique a woeful stage show in "The Pageant Pickle" and find out what turvallisuus means in "Some Assembly Required." Kat is a lifelong Arthur fan and talks about her faves and how the show inspired her to chase a dream; the two also learn more about the Tibbles' special interest and their animal inspiration, Will complains about his least-favorite kind of game, and they figure out exactly what "Kick The Can" is...   Listen to Just For Fics and Giggles on your favorite podcast service, and follow the show on IG (@ficsandgiggles)!

Lucas makes his return as he and Will hurl some heavy accusations at Mom Read in "Arthur Read: Super Saver" and find out more about croquembouche in "Tibbles to the Rescue"! Will also spills some dirt about an upcoming Arthur project, Lucas reveals his Halloween costume, they wonder about how humans can exist in the Arthur universe, and find out exactly why you shouldn't teach a pig to fish. Plus, a familiar face from Arthur's first season returns...

It's a double preview of our latest Patreon content! First up, Will and Lucas reunite to talk about the British children's book series-turned-animated adaptation, Angelina Ballerina; then, Will sits down with Stanley and Evan, the two creators who brought us the new viral classic, "I Made The Arthur Theme Song Midwest Emo [NOT CLICKBAIT]"...

Will is joined this week by returning guest and unwitting Tibbles expert Rage to witness true psychological torture in "Two Minutes" and look at the history of a dress in "Messy Dress Mess." Rage gives his thoughts on what's changed since his last appearance on the show a year ago, and the duo wonder if Mrs. Tibble is okay, remember the time when kids ruled, reminisce on how they learned to tell time, and wish for a world of communal toothbrushes. Plus, does Rage find the indisputable location of Elwood City with a new fact-finding method?!   Follow Rage and his cat on IG (@rejlag), and check out Podcast 69 on your favorite podcast service!

Will calls on the combined powers of the SSAA Podcast Network (Doctor, Dame Dr Foxy Brown, and Colton) to investigate Rattles lore in "Whip. Mix. Blend," and take in a truly chaotic situation in "Staycation!" All three have very different experiences with Arthur (including one guest who is watching for the first time) and have a lot to say about their memories of the show and the episode itself. The gang also talks about the Tough Customers on social media, TV dinners, youth slang, monster cereals, home appliance emergencies, and yes, the animal hierarchy. Check out the SSAA Podcast Network at http://www.ssaapodcast.com/ and at patreon.com/ssaanetwork, where you'll find loads of great series including Just A Gintama Podcast, One Podcast Prevails, Wheel of Scoob, and so many more!

As Hurricane Lee menaces the east coast, Lucas and Will record while the time is right and talk about an episode-length Downton Abbey parody in "Fountain Abbey," and contend with a sassy GPS in "Arthur Calls It." They also talk about DNA ancestry tests, the show's wacky continuity, Ken Burns, and Lucas' plans for the hurricane weekend (power pending)...

Back to school and back to Arthur! Will and Lucas gab about ways to make wishes in "Best Wishes," and are pleased to be back in Prunella country in "The Tardy Tumbler." They also wonder whether a puppet can breathe or counts as a person, are taken off-guard by an outrageous one-off character, discuss the merits of GastroVision, and stumble on another potential side-podcast...

Will and Lucas re-visit another CGI animated show from their childhoods (and adulthoods) and wrap up the 2-parter on Mainframe Entertainment with their second show, Beast Wars (or is it Beasties?)!

It's another D-double dose with an extra helping of Bud as Arthur soft adapts Poe in "The Tattletale Frog" and we return to Wonderworld in "DW & Bud's Higher Purpose." Will and Lucas also vent some strong opinions on Bud, compare the show to The Simpsons, wonder what if DW was president, and offer a spotlight to a new ongoing strike that (somewhat) involves Arthur...   Don't forget to vote for us at vote.thecoast.ca in the Best Podcast category!
