Eat My Shorts 8: The Simpsons’ Greatest Mysteries Explained

Springfield is a town of many mysteries, run by shadowy puppet-masters who control the lives of the town's citizens. Colossus, The Monroe Box, the omlette universe - there are many questions The Simpsons is yet to answer.

This week, we go through a news article from a dubious Australian news site about Mike Reiss' new book, 'Springfield Confidential: Jokes, Secrets, and Outright Lies from a Lifetime Writing for The Simpsons', and unpack his reveals. Do we feel richer for having these mysteries solved? Do we believe the solutions we're being fed? Or are the writers of The Simpsons still playing coy about the real secrets that lurk beneath the surface of Springfield?

As Nick goes through each mystery, James presents his own thoughts and theories. Does his knowledge of the show match up against one of the people who made it? Uh, probably not, right? Come listen.
