Episode 8: Manimal... And Animal Crackers

Before we jump into the forgotten 80s TV show Manimal, Steve takes a moment to enjoy some animal crackers.

​We talk about the history of animal crackers, which you can read about HERE while you enjoy the snack, sold on Amazon HERE.  Megan doesn't love animal crackers, but there is a gluten-free version from Mi-Del, which you can find (also on Amazon) HERE. 

Then, we dive into Manimal! The show aired in 1983 for 8 episodes. So, it's a bit difficult to find! 

All 8 episodes are available in English on DVD HERE on Amazon.

But we were able to find a few episodes (in English) on Youtube! Episode 4 "The Female of the Species" and Episode 6 "Scrimshaw" are both below!

Episode 4 features a "feral child," and on the podcast we discuss the fascinating history of children raised by animals. While many of these tales have been debunked, you can read more about a few of these children HERE.
