16A Abner Come Home/16B The Sewer King
June 03, 2021 00:00 - 46 minutes - 32.7 MB“Abner Come Home” proves Abner’s personhood by appealing to his animal nature, and we share our favorite pet stories. In “The Sewer King,” the kids dig all the way to China – almost – to find an heirloom and a lonely king. If you love the show, we’d love for you to leave a review!

15A Olga Comes Home (feat. Jason Dafnis)/15B Sally’s Comet (feat. Seth Zarate)
May 27, 2021 00:00 - 1 hour - 42.7 MBFeaturing special guests Jason Dafnis and Seth Zarate! Introducing us to more of Helga’s family, “Olga Comes Home” paints a portrait of sisters in a relationship defined as much by their environment as each other. In “Sally’s Comet,” the community comes together to stare at the skies, just like we have for generations, and promises to do it again for the next generation.

14A Spelling Bee/14B Pigeon Man
May 20, 2021 00:00 - 44 minutes - 31.2 MB“Spelling Bee” contrasts Arnold’s support system with Helga’s self-reliance, but without the J-U-D-G-M-E-N-T. Time, patience, and the right berries might be the salve for what ails Arnold’s pet pigeon Chester in “Pigeon Man,” but it takes more than that for us to learn to trust again after trauma.

13A Tutoring Torvald/13B Gerald Comes Over
May 14, 2021 00:00 - 45 minutes - 42.3 MBIn “Tutoring Torvald,” Hey Arnold! speaks to the very real issues with American public education and the importance of family support. In “Gerald Comes Over,” Gerald comes over and gets a good look at life inside Sunset Arms. Maybe too good a look. If you love the show, we’d love for you to leave a review!

12A Das Subway (feat. Sophie Blumenstock)/12B Wheezin’ Ed (feat. Evelyn Frick)
May 07, 2021 00:00 - 1 hour - 28.6 MBFeaturing special guests Sophie Blumenstock and Evelyn Frick (Friends Like Us Podcast)! In “Das Subway,” a freak accident brings together metropolitan denizens from every walk of life for one paranoid day. “Wheezin’ Ed” is another urban myth that piques the gang’s curiosity so strongly that they leave the mainland to scope it out.

11A Benchwarmer/11B Cool Jerk
April 30, 2021 00:00 - 41 minutes - 19.6 MBArnold plays Grandma to the coach’s son in “Benchwarmer,” and we talk about the highs and lows of middle school basketball. In discussing “Cool Jerk,” an episode about a cool jerk, we dig up the cool jerks from our youth. If you love the show, we’d love for you to leave a review!

10A Door Number 16/10B Arnold as Cupid (feat. Wayne Stainrook)
April 23, 2021 00:00 - 59 minutes - 27.7 MBFeaturing special guest Wayne Stainrook (https://twitter.com/stainwaynerook)! “Door Number 16” uses a missing package to introduce the boarders of Sunset Arms to the family member they met too late. In “Arnold as Cupid,” Susie should definitely not be with Mr. Kokoshka... or maybe anyone… but Arnold gets over it long enough to play matchmaker.

9A Mugged/9B Roughin' It (feat. Drew Tenenbaum)
April 14, 2021 00:00 - 1 hour - 28 MBWith special guest Drew Tenenbaum (https://twitter.com/AshCoolBro), we’re reminded of Grandma’s sage advice in “Mugged”: there’s a difference between standing up for yourself and being the aggressor. Then in “Roughin’ It,” a camping trip takes Arnold and Helga’s families out of their element – and nobody survives it alone. (It’s a lot like A Goofy Movie.)

8A The List (feat. Charlie Mackin)/8B Haunted Train (feat. Kyle Olson)
April 08, 2021 00:00 - 54 minutes - 25.5 MBWhat’s on your list today? In our first guest episode, we’re joined by Charlie Mackin to discuss how “The List” recontextualizes the ways we used to spend weekends and how we do that as adults in 2021. Then good friend and resident rail guy Kyle Olson hops aboard for some “Haunted Train” chat, adding coal to the fire as we talk about the terrifying titular train.

7A Operation Ruthless/7B The Vacant Lot
April 01, 2021 00:00 - 38 minutes - 18.1 MBHi, Ruth. Hi, Ruth. Hi, Ruth. Hi, Ruth. Hi, Ruth. In “Operation Ruthless,” we see Arnold and Helga at their most vulnerable, while they see both warped and idealized reflections as they pursue the people they want. “Vacant Lot” is a Marxist parable with a Backyard Baseball spin.

March 25, 2021 00:00 - 36 minutes - 17.4 MBWho doesn't remember their first snow day? Even before watching, the Kidz fondly recalled "Heat" and "Snow" as two of the first Arnolds we remember loving. On this episode, we unpack what exactly makes this legendary double header so memorable by discussing how both episodes manage to leverage Arnold's inimitable visuals, music, and community world-building to evoke special moments of childhood both so specific and so universal that no one ever really forgets how they feel.
