With a name like that, how can you go wrong!
As the founding fathers of Animorphs: The Radio Drama, Uncensored begin to spread there wings and take-off - around the world for some (across the street for others) - DJ Matthew finds himself the last man standing in the studio where it all began, staring at the wall-art DJ Kyle left behind as a monument to the countless hours spent wasting time in the uncomfortable seating apparatuses and blathering senselessly across space and time via airwaves trapped in the KDUP stream. With a sigh, he sits down is his well worn chair facing the soundboard, the jukebox on his left, and an empty seat to his right. Memories race past his vision; the good times, and the bad.
The lone veteran of a million minutes (plus or minus) of airtime runs his hand across the knobs and levers of the console before him, stopping the motion just before reaching the mic button which had cut him so often before. Smiling to himself he reaches past the sound board...and grabs the first playshelf CD of the semester. Opening the case, he blinks back a single tear (heros never cry. They just get so close to tears that you think they will and THEN...they have to turn around and fight the next bad guy).
That is when the door to the studio opens. For one fleeting moment, the sun shining over the shoulder of a shadowy figure framed in the doorway, Matthew expects to here the shout of "ANIMORPHS!" Squinting and shielding his eyes, he tries to make out the face of the new arrival, but the setting sun is too bright and the figure is standing in the most epic spot imaginable which prevents Matthew from discerning who he is until the precise moment of utmost impressiveness. At that moment - that perfectly timed moment - DJ Jason steps forward and Matthew lowers his hand.
The seconds tick by as the two DJs stare at one another, no words spoken, but each understanding the other as much as two DJs who have never worked together and are fully aware that they have two hours of 5th grade reading level literature a week to read CAN understand each other.
"Are you ready for this?" Matthew asks the new-comer, the novice, the recruit.
Jason steps forward again, slowly smiling and pulling his book from his bag.
"I was born ready. What the carp are we waiting for! I am totally prepared to kick this books aft and finish it in record time pausing only to point out the most Brown-Chicken-Brown-Cow moments between Cassie and Jake and those that are hawkward between Rachel and Tobias! And in the words of Rachel, Let's do it!"
Blinking once, DJ Matthew shakes his head and returns to the playshelf organization.
"Oh, and I brought a friend is that cool?" Jason says as another figure takes his place in the door frame, obscured by the last remnants of sunlight lancing over the Chapel and beami-
"yeah that's fine, we're already late and we have a long semester ahead of us. So, can we get this show on the road?
