With nearly 40 seasons worth of episodes, specials coming out fairly regularly on Disney+, and a second movie just announced, are we getting enough The Simpsons content? Not remotely. Fortunately, Audacy recently launched a weekly podcast dedicated to the show, Simpsons Declassified with Nancy Cartwright.

Hosted by Bart Simpson himself, Nancy Cartwright, and Sofy Kurtz, Simpsons Declassified premiered on September 18th. Each episode features a different guest with their own unique connection to The Simpsons. Cartwright asks them questions about their experience with the show, games are played, and each guest explains their take on the idea that The Simpsons can predict the future.

Guests so far have included voice actor Chris Edgerly, musician “Weird Al” Yankovic, and Simpsons writer and producer Mike Reiss. Edgerly demonstrated his voices for characters like Homer and Skinner while explaining his role of recording placeholder dialogue. With Weird Al providing the music, Cartwright sang “Espresso” by Sabrina Carpenter using the voices of Bart, Ralph, and Nelson (apparently Nancy Cartwright is Sabrina Carpenter’s aunt). It was a treat to hear Mike Reiss talk about another show he produced, the long gone but never forgotten, The Critic, where Cartwright was a series regular playing Margo Sherman. Fans can get in on the fun by commenting on Nancy Cartwright’s Instagram account.

The show is a lot of fun so far, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention another good Simpsons podcast. Cracked (as in Cracked Magazine or Cracked.com or that YouTube channel that used to have some great skits) has revived its podcast (which hadn’t aired a new episode since 2020). Now subtitled The Simpsons Taught Me Everything, longtime Cracked contributor Michael Swaim zeroes in on specific jokes from The Simpsons and explains its historical context at length. While it’s available as a podcast, it’s worth watching the YouTube version for the accompanying visuals.

The Simpsons, as if it needed to be said, has just begun its 37th season and airs Sunday nights on Fox. From Audacy Podcasts and CRE84U Entertainment, Simpsons Declassified with Nancy Cartwright is produced and showrun by Monica Gil-Rodriguez. New episodes air every Thursday.
