And this time we are talking to Bill Oakley once again for a very important reason. It's because Bill has an upcoming audio series via Audible.com. It is called Space 1972, and it's coming out very soon, and we wanna talk to Bill about that, his previous audio series, Space 1969, and of course, we have some very obscure Simpsons questions to lob at him.
Henry Gilbert· Host0:43
Yes, especially about the most recent seasons we've been covering of V and VI, where him and Josh Weinstein, in case you don't know, somehow you don't know, it's Bill and Josh wrote some of the best episodes of The Simpsons and show-ran seasons VIII and VII. And we have several obscure questions in there. You will learn some Simpsons secrets in there as well. There's still things that Bill Oakley has not told us about his time on The Simpsons.

So I think that's all the context you need, and if you want links to Bill's audiobooks, or sorry, audio series, check out the podcast description. But without further ado, here is our chat with Bill Oakley. [upbeat music] And joining us on the line, we have Bill Oakley, who I think needs no introduction. We've been talking to Bill for the better part of 10 years. Welcome back to Talking Simpsons, Bill Oakley.
